gh2 hdmi clean out for livestreaming while on continuous autofocus

livestreamdork — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 19:02:45 +0000

I've read 15 years of internet posts, but gh2 noobie here and I cannot seem to find the right physical settings on the GH2 to actually have simple clean HDMI output without any focus hinting or other graphics artifacts appearing on the screen from time to time. I've got the 1.1 bin installed, and have used ptools but most of the patches seem to be related to folks that want to record various types of video - I'm simply trying to have HDMI output running 24/7 into a HDMI capture card with no on-screen elements whatsoever. I've turned off every single setting possible, and I can get there with the left wheel is set to "MF" and on a few of the moves with the main right wheel, but how do I setup AFC mode so that there's nothing on the screen? As soon as it detects a face there are some yellow bounding boxes that appear while it's trying to focus. I don't care about recording to an SD card, I just want clean HDMI output while I'm running this thing on AC and using an autofocus lense. Would love a 1080p but I'll settle for 1080i if that helps. Thanks!

clean video out from. the panasonic gh2 with bitrate hack?

Hi I would like to get a clean HDMI output from my panasonic gh2 for streaming. The camera output is only clean when recording. This limits the time i can use the camera for streaming because the card is full. Is it possible to hach the camera to record 1080 at an extremely LOW bitrate so the card never gets full? What numbeR do i have to change in the .ini file to record at a low bitrate?

How to Clean Sensor on GH2

Need to clean my GH2 sensor (I'm seeing a green dot in the middle of my footage, and when looking at monitor of footage shot with lens cap on, I saw a bunch of white dots...assuming/hoping it's just dust on the sensor). So my question is this - I bought the Giottos Rocket Air Blower, but how to do I get the mirror(or is it shutter?) to lock open so I can blow air on it? Any and all tips much appreciated.
