    @JOFO you set AQ=4 OR IQ and Quantiser to 18 - not both. Q overrides the other.

  • JOFOJOFO

    I hope so, that it's not the card drive inside G3... Would love to go twice higher o more too :)

  • bothabotha

    Yeah JOFO, would be nice to go higher, cause the G3 is fully capable to do this magic !

  • JOFOJOFO

    maybe G3 has a slower card drive due to cost cutting.. or maybe just need to set proper parameters (buffers or so...) I'm actualy playing a bit with this to figure out, whats the deal...

  • bothabotha

    I don't get it ! How to prevent the "recording stopped due to the limitaton writing speed of the card" issue, if i go higher than 40M ? I already have the fastest "SanDisk Extreme SDHC 32GB - 95 MBs" card. The patched GH2 serves 244M without a hike ! So what's the deal ?

  • JOFOJOFO

    Previous settings may contain an issue causing freezing.. Here is new one that shall work stable... And attaching a quick comparsion between stock (above) and hacked (below) fw...

    Theese samples was taken before the sunset so light conditions wasn't perfect, but instead of that, result is very good... Decent Leica glass do the job for less light out there :) Here are my settings tweaked a bit to got it to work... Thanks driftwood for your work too... great comunityhere...

    @JOFO Looking good Jofo, well done. There you go, youve got a setting working. Now share it wiith the community. Congrats. :-) And whoops forgot this was the G3 thread! No MP4 :-)

  • JOFOJOFO

    G3 doesn't have MP4 mode... only AVCHD I figured it out.. Encoder Setting 1 1080i/p was the cause.. Lowering from 9 to 5 resolved the issue... I have also lowered bitrate to 36M as before, it was giving me write errors when set above 40M.. Will elaborate with this with your settings... Here are some samples...

    First thing to try: Try to uncheck ALL the Encoder Settings for MP4 mode first - save .bin, install edited firmware and TEST, then if it still locks up, uncheck all AVCHD Encoder patch settings too, then TEST AGAIN. Are you trying PAL or NTSC?

    Try each. Let me know.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    @JOFO Which modes? AVCHD or MP4 lock up? Try to be more explantory.

  • JOFOJOFO

    @driftwood: so first attempts failed... when I hit the record button, camera switches to video mode and freezes... It's focusing but timer didn't show up and camera doesn't responding to any button. Hard reset is needed (take out the battery). I will be elaborating with settings a bit...

  • JOFOJOFO

    I think that manual iso isn't possible atm.. This patch removes only maximum iso limit so the camera can switch it all the way through 6400. Correct me if I'm wrong..

  • lwbqweleelwbqwelee

    how to change iso when record video?

  • JOFOJOFO

    I'm trying to port to G3. As the G3 hasn't MP4 playback, MP4 settings doesn't matter... Will let you know, how it's working...

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Guys try out 'Galaxian' on the G3 for me. Its over on the ptools 3.66d thread - Please let me know if it works, however, Im not so sure mp4 playback will work in-camera (however, its fine on WMP, Movist, Quicktime, NLE's etc...)

    GalaXian is the first hack settings featuring parts of my Cluster v6 GH2 settings. Give it a whirl and report back here.

    @JOFO Thanks i might drop it down a bit.

  • JOFOJOFO

    Here is my last settings which I'm using atm... It did freeze sometimes, but when reformatting card in camera, all seems ok... But 36M is highest value I can get without write errors. Safe value is 33M by my observations. I'm using SanDisk Extreme Pro 8GB (95MB/s) and SanDisk Extreme 32GB (45MB/s) cards.

    Short test 42/35 basic setting - saw 25-26Mbps in many shots, still saw banding in sky but most importantly my Toshiba class 10 card froze on the "Grass" of "Death" shot - battery re-start. Card worked well before with GH1 Hack Any idea's

  • wxjp007wxjp007

    g3 manual video function, p, a, s, m mode crack it? I can not find it?

  • wxjp007wxjp007

    Can share your set.ini? JOFO

  • JOFOJOFO

    yea, I know... just didnt notice that Pany one was on charger when updating... if something went wrong, it'll be my fault and i will not blame anybody else but me :-| But I think that technicians at service would take care of repair/replacement... I've never had any problem with warranty repairs (as I own small shop)... I've got replaced some goods which they didnt have to replace... but I will take care as I mostly do...

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    @JOFO

    Take my good advice. Never ever update firmware with non panasonic battery. Ok?
