    GH2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN A WORKSHEET TABLE
    (TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE USER MANUAL)
    A PRINTABLE POCKET GUIDE TO PUT IN YOUR CAMERA BAG

    I offer you guys, this contribution.
    Sorry if here is not the right place to post this,

    in C1, I mean: (as RAW do not allow ETC > we may not use Tele (crop mode))
  • GH2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN WORKSHEET - REV. 8
    (Please delete old versions)


    How do you guys customize C1, C2 and C3 in Dial Modes ?

    MY CUSTOMIZATION STRATEGY – for C1, C2, C3 and respective Fn Btn. as follows:
    …………………………………………………………………………….
    C1 = Saved Settings
    Priority for Still Pictures (Photo)
    Using “Mode Dial” in Manual Mode [M]
    Aspect Ratio 3:2, Quality: RAW=== (raw+JpegFine), Size: L (15M) 4752x3168 pixels
    (as RAW do not allow ETC > we may not use wide angle)
    Motion Picture: 1280x720p – SH
    Btn Fn1:FILM
    Btn Fn2:FLASH
    Btn Fn3:FLASH+ - (Flash Adjust)

    …………………………………………………………………………….
    C2 = Saved Settings
    For to take Still Pictures (Photos) and record Motion Pictures (Movies)
    Using “Mode Dial” in Manual Mode [M]
    Aspect Ratio 3:2, Quality: RAW, Size: [EX] M (7,5M) 3360x2240 pixels
    ETC: ON, (or OFF using Fn3, for to use wide angle - normal)
    Motion Picture: 1280x720p – SH
    Btn Fn1:FILM
    Btn Fn2: === (JPEG Fine)
    Btn Fn3:EX (ETC)

    …………………………………………………………………………….
    C3 = Saved Settings
    Priority for record Motion Pictures (Movies)
    Using “Mode Dial” in “Creative Motion Picture” Mode
    Aspect Ratio 16:9, Quality:___, Size: __
    ETC: ON, (or OFF using Fn3 for to use wide angle - normal)
    Motion Picture: 1920x1080p – 24H
    (“Creative Motion Picture” do not allow to take Still Pictures (Photos))
    Btn Fn1:FILM
    Btn Fn2: PRE AF
    Btn Fn3:EX (ETC)
    ..................................................................................

    How do you guys customize C1, C2 and C3 in Dial Modes ?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your first revisions and

    Thank for your first “butt” revision and
    Please, I ask you to revise the “English” in the worksheet (Rev. 6).
    There are many errors and words written in Portuguese here and there,..

    Make suggestions and technical revisions if possible.
    I Hope this worksheet should be useful; it is too large and fits in an A3 size paper.

    Sorry for my bad English.

  • Here goes rev-3 - Thanks

    this worksheet table give us an idea how confusing is the menu-design. (the menu also needs to be hacked!)

  • I've been thinking for some time about making a fully expanded flowchart of the menu system on the camera, as I often still get lost in the darn thing. This is interesting, thanks!
  • @erovk thanks for doing this and for sharing it... Al

    PDF is not nice, make it so width will fit into single page.
  • Please delete the first .xls,.. or preserve my butt :)
  • he he he, Here goes my brand new and revised "butt" ! ...-2.xls, .pdf as your demad !
  • OK, so if you are busy pressing your "butt" - who is pulling your "focus"?
  • @cbrandin

    I like "butt" more. "Press your butt until it'll be done" :-)
  • Very Nice - thank you! I have one suggestion, though. You have abbreviated "button" as "butt" - in English "butt" means the same thing as "ass", or "arse" (the anatomical definition):) Normally "button" is abbreviated as "btn".

  • Looks interesting.

    Can you make PDF out of this?
    I think it'll be better for most people.
