So that's why I want to shoot 29.97fps. How can I make the footage look good without the pulldown?
Sorry for the super newbie question.
Thanks!

It outputs a non messed up uncompressed hdmi 1080 60p signa - yes - full 60-P which apparently even the af-100 doesn't do...l and it's $600

WTF?

What am I missing here? Why this ability on these cheap cams and not our beloved GHs and AF?


Yeah, I know it's not a hdslr but for livestream events I could get a couple of them to be able to cut to just for some different angles,
it also has a 1080p 24p mode we all love - but I don't know how it looks compared to gh13 & gh2 footage.

Anyone have this thing? I mean... $600... full uncompressed hdmi out with none of the BS panasonic is doing with the GH2s hdmi out?]]> https://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/1543/iso-switches-ot-auto-when-recordiing Thu, 24 Nov 2011 18:04:52 +0000 stevgol 1543@/talks/discussions

I am accumulating as many things as possible that I need from USA, since I get to save on the freight charges.

I would appreciate your help on things I need for using the Rokinon (this is mainly for the video) on GH1 and some suggestion on other gears.

Here is my list

1. Rokinon 85mm 1.4 for Canon (going Canon as I have plans to buy some Canon FD lens, however no Canon lenses with me yet)
2. Which canon adapter would you recommend? Will the EF mount be able to take FD lens? Or you need a separate FD adapter as well?
3. Need a Vari-ND filter. How many stops will be needed if I need to use 1.4 in daylight on ISO 100 at 50 fps? Is Fader ND from Lightcrafts a good buy? Is 77mm future proof?
4. Would like to buy some FD macro lens. Any suggestions? This is also for video mainly. Any other FD lens that would be a nice addition?
5. What is the secret behind the cost of the Novoflex FD adapter?
6. Is there any focus help available for the Rokinon on a GH1?
7. Any budget follow focus with rods etc? This is not a priority, but I just might get one.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I will simply outline my findings, so that you can create your own patch settings to suit your needs:

* Increasing the overall bitrate will decrease reliability while doing nothing to improve video quality or increase the recorded bit rate. Just leave it at the default 18 Mbps.
* SH and H modes are equivalent. Feel free to program them with different bit rates and switch between them.
* The GH1 codec accumulates errors over the length of the GOP. Thus you need to keep the GOP somewhat short, under 12 frames or so, to keep the errors from becoming visible. Shortening the GOP increases the recorded bit rate and decreases reliability. I settled on 10 frames.
* Using a GOP 10 frames long: no failures with the bit rate set below 27 Mbps; failures were produced with great difficulty at 27 Mbps; failures occurred infrequently at 30 Mbps, and easily at 33 Mbps. I settled on SH=27 and H=25.
* No differences in reliability were observed between a Transcend class-6 card, a SanDisk Extreme HD Video UHS 30 MB/sec card, and a SanDisk Extreme 30 MB/s Edition card. It would seem that the bottleneck is not the card, even though failures are shown with a card write failure message.
* Changing the overall bitrate 2 or video buffer size produced no change in reliability, recorded bit rate, or video quality.

On the GH1, 720p remains my favorite shooting mode due to this camera's lack of 30 fps in 1080p, and because there is much less jello effect in 720p.]]> https://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/1382/fs-gh1-body Mon, 07 Nov 2011 06:13:09 +0000 LongJohnSilver 1382@/talks/discussions a GH2 is coming so I would sell my current GH1 body already hacked.
The camera is in good condition and it's in Rome, Italy. I will ship in Europe.

I followed the given instructions to a tee, also watching 2 youtube videos, just to make sure I was doing everything correctly. I still could not get the camera hacked. I spent so much time trying to do this because my Ego could not accept that a pretty computer literate guy could not do something that seemed so simple to do. After every try and puting the SD card Class 10 in my camera, I would just get the error message about there not being any media on file for the camera to read when I pressed the play button. I am very sure that I did everything correctly, as I must have gone thru the process about 30 times over the course of the day. I am extremely frustarted. Can anyone help? Are there any new services out there springing up that can help you do this? I used 3 diffecrent cards and got the same outcome. I even went to buy a card at WALMART when my other two cards would not do the trick!!! I went online to try and download the latest version of ptools. I have ver. 3.40. Supposedly, there is a 3.51 version out there. The wiki website only has the 3.4. Can you help? Please help. Thanks.

1. I have hacked my previously unhackable GH17 with all of the popular patches and a couple of my own modified patches using ptool 362.

2. Of all patches I have tried, lpowell's max latitude 100mbps patch seems to have the highest average bit rate according to Media Info.

3. Media Info says the max latitude patch has a max overall bit rate of 108 Mbps and averages 20.8 Mbps

4. Media Info says that footage from my unhacked GH17 has a max overall bit rate of 18 Mbps and averages 11.8 Mbps

5. Once my footage is transferred into Final Cut Pro 7 using Pro Res 422, the data rate in FCP7 of my unhacked footage averages 17 MBps while the data rate of my hacked footage averages about 13.5 MBps.

6. This discrepancy makes no sense to me. And moreover it would seem that if you edit in FCP7 that you are better off not hacking the GH1. Is this assumption correct? Can someone share more information on this issue?]]> https://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/1050/take-apart-gh1-lcd-for-external-monitor Wed, 28 Sep 2011 13:48:58 +0000 jefforig 1050@/talks/discussions
I searched around but did not find an answer for this. Has anyone tried this?

Basically, take apart the LCD on the GH1 and use the cabling or wiring to attach it to an external monitor.


I don't need HD output, I just want it for framing purposes when the GH1 is placed on a small crane.

Or has anyone physically taken apart the LCD?
Is there a tear down of the GH1 somewhere? (I googled but did not find it)
If so, were you able to put it back together?
Was the wiring plug and play or was the wiring soldered in?

Is there some other way to do external monitoring while recording if the camera is a small distance away, like on a crane?
I have read ideas about using a small cheap camera and film the lcd.

Thank you.

Last night, I emailed Panasonic support and they told me I can send it to Panasonic US support (I am from Canada) and they can send me a refurb. unit.

I am just wondering has anyone send in their GH1 or older G1 (having similar problem) recently? What kind of refurb. unit you are getting back? I haven't talk to live support yet, don't know who is going to pay for international shipping back and forth and worry I would get tax by Canada when shipping back to me if they don't label it as warranty replacement properly.]]> https://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/421/official-low-gop-topic Mon, 18 Jul 2011 23:33:30 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 421@/talks/discussions

At the moment I'm very pleased with the Powell settings on Vitaliys awesome hack along with a 14-45 lumix and a 0.8x adaptor on a Glidecam HD-1000, and while I haven't had much low-light work it is a possibility. But I'm also keen to know whether the GH2 is as good as the GH13 (excellent!) for running shots with detailed background?

Some early samples: GH13 with 50mm Nikon 1.4 manual and 17mm 2.8 Olympus pancake http://www.youtube.com/user/BRANZmedia#p/u/1/znFMbC43GvM

and GH13 with Samyang 8mm 2.8/Olympus 17mm 2.8, plus Olympus FT-1 for shots in rain http://www.youtube.com/user/NZOrienteering#p/a/u/1/opsrj7-HoTQ

I just purchased a GH1 which I intend to use with a bunch of old Nikon lenses.

Having older computers I've always had trouble with full HD anything so for the time being I'm not interested in 1080anything.

I would like to create the best possible 720p60 files recorded onto Class 10 cards with absolute reliability.

My intended use case is recording for longer periods of time in a variety of documentary / journalism type environments. Therefor reliability is far more important than quality. That being said I'd still like to increase the quality of the 720p60 video if possible.

Would anyone be willing to share their 720p60 settings with me?
