I am seeing an increase in the effective overall bitrate of 4k footage (mp4 and mov, using MediaInfo). With 1.0-1.2 it was rarely over 80-82Mbps, now I am getting up to 96Mbps (@25fps). This might imply an even better image quality.
GH3 hack first :)
This is the second firmware update, right? Didn't we get the GH2 hack after the it's first firmware update? Just sayin'...
I've just put these together to show the relative formats. This is all sitting inside a standard 4k frame (4096 3112).
Looking at these actually it isn't using the entire usable frame of the GH4, so its a crop but each aspect could have a use as a video format. Certainly using anamorphic lenses could be helped out by shooting the 4:3.
2880x2880 is an interesting new crop tele mode
looking at the spec its somewhat disappointing that the 4:3 3:2 and 1.1 modes seems to be further crops from the 4k frame. Meaning wide shots in this format aren't going to work very well!
[4:3] (Size: 3328k2496) [3:2] (Size: 3504k2336) [16:9] (Size: 3840k2160) [1:1] (Size: 2880k2880)
Will do some tests once this has installed (not reading it at the moment).
Nice!!! I need to fully charge my batteries 1st!
Downloading now. Lets see how this 4K photo mode works!
