GF1 hack with 35mm 1.7 lens rough footage
  • I just threw this together with no audio as an example of the footage I am getting with the GF1 hack. This is the reliable playback patch from LPowell (4.2.2 colour 35mbits/s). The infamous Fujian lens everyone is using on youtube. I was very impressed with the lack of much rolling shutter (in MJPEG ONLY) on this camera, shame its only 720 but still some nice footage! I was shooting it at 100 - 200 ISO (mostly 200 noise was very bad above this) and the shutter was 1/50 or 1/100 (pal country) depending on how much motion was in shot. I used 1/30 a couple of times when I really needed extra light. There is no audio because I was talking rubbish the whole time! Who needs audio anyway for such a rough example. I uploaded this as there are not many examples of the hacked gf1 in action. Well the ones that are there are super lame. Maybe it will help someone find a decent cheap video camera. I bought mine for £60 and the lens cost £20! lol £80 camera!
