What is really amazing is, that i not only can get now ISO 12800 in Video... I have now also ISO 25800 in Videomode...
You can use ISO25800 with this: 1. Install the Patched Firmware, with no ISO-Limits. 2. go to Manual Movie Mode and in mode P, S or A (not M!). 3. Set ISO to 12800. 4. Start recording. You record now at ISO 12800. 5. Click the wheel and then turn to left. Until its +2, nothing changes. But then, it gets more bright, 1 Stop more than ISO 12800. 6. So, this is ISO 25600. In the unpatched GH2, you'll get with this ISO 6'400 in Video-Mode. 7. It also gos so high with ISO, in Mode P and Auto ISO.
Believe it or not: My GH2 has ISO 25600 in Video-Mode!

Hi everyone, again greta work and I will continue to donate as much as I can. One question, I have the new ptools but am I being a div as I can't find the patch file? Normaly with the hacks I have patches emailed to me from a friend ready to drop onto my SD card, where wil I find the patch? Thanks
>>One interesting limitation on the 12800 iso patch is that is seems to only work on the 1080p 24p AVCHD codec under the 24H and 24L settings. I tried to use it with the HD Mjpeg settings and with 720p 60p and the moment I pressed REC the light instantly shifted down to the 3200 ISO light settings.>>
I been reading about Panasonic new firmware update and they will supposedly add Progressive mode to the already interlaced modes on the camera. I wonder if its possible to use new features of one firmware and combine them into another?
Progressive Segmentes Frame Recording: (its new Panasonic's big word)
Are you saying that KAE's old 66MB GOP3 (or any 3.61d patch) is "out" meaning it won't work or it should be working in 3.63d? (Sorry if I seem retarded here) ;)
Just hacked my GH2 for the first time setting 24L to 22Mbit and 24H to 42 Mbit and the new ISO patch. Everything works great, but if I set the ISO to a specified value, when I'm recording, it'll say AutoISO instead of the ISO I've selected. I'm assuming this is a bug, and it's still recording at the same ISO I selected, and is just a side effect of the hack, but I'd like to know for sure.
Apologies if this has been covered already, but I wasn't able to find an answer. Thanks!
I also noticed the dark band with the new ISO patch. It's gone if you drop shutter speed to 30 or below... not the end of the world. I wonder if this is why Panasonic didn't release those ISOs for video in the first place. I also found that among the B&W modes, the smooth mode with contrast at -2 yields the least amount of noise.... looks really smooth!
I need to be able to connect an external monitor just for checking focus and exposure while my gh2 records 24p in etc mode. has there been any progress made in that department yet?
Okay I hacked the camera with 3.3d and using Kae 66MB GOP3 hack from a while back as a preset and everything looks good and the ISO can go to 12800 etc.
..But when I shoot 24p review the video clips in-camera it DOES NOT have the 2 seconds of garbage at the beginning.
Does this mean that the older version of KAE's settings did not take in version 3.3d of Ptools?
Or has the 2 seconds of garbage at the beginning of clips gone away now?
Using mpgxsvcd's 42Mbit stable patch and shot with a 25mm f1.4 GE TV lens (c-mount). I did notice, when you do press record, the ISO number suddenly changes to "AUTO ISO" instead of 12800. But its certainly at its highest setting, no doubt about that.
