It does not affect stills. Have you tested 4GB spanning? When a hack is stable, it may still fail on spanning.

Ha ha, that's the one I use! I found several such death charts and, after some tests, I found this one is the most dangerous, so I have been using only this one. Yes, reliability test needs only 1 minute or 2 with this chart, but to test spanning reliability I need at least 45 minutes. Many times, the first spanning is successful but the second or third time it fails. Also, the monitor brightness must be as bright as possible.

Hello guys,

I have some serious problem and don't know what's going on. I tried both sete.ini posted by @pvdog and seti.ini posted by @luisnando . No clue why but I'm getting bitrate only up to 32 Mbit and this is my average bitrate. As for the optics I have kit 14-42 lens as well as Olympus M. Zuiko Digital 45 f/1.8 but I guess this is not important at all. Am I doing something wrong? I can't get it... Oh and the lighting isn't a matter - I tried both filming in VERY sunny days and indoor - same bitrate.

I have similar problems with @pvdog's settings. I've been using @botha's settings from here: http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/comment/76202#Comment_76202 with FSH/FH bitrate set to 64M/48M respectively. The new settings seem to be inferior in terms of both image quality and bitrate.

Here's the comparison on the chart above, shot with Canon FD 50/1.4 @ f4, 1920x1080, 1/50 shutter speed, SanDisk Extreme HD Video 30MB/s 16GB. The camera was handheld, might try with a tripod later.

Shooting the same well-lit outdoor scene (but not at the same time) with Lumix 20/1.7 gives the following:

PS Sorry for screwing up the attachments.

Yes, the screen was at 100% brightness. Will check with a tripod soon.

Hey guys, first of all I want to thank you, especially Vitaly for making such huge efforts! You guys are awesome.

I have a problem though. @Pvdog, I tried your settings and did everything you say (unzip the ptool3, the original firmware, and your settings in the same folder - run ptool3, load the original Firmware, click on F, save the Firmware to another name - (I checked 2 extra buttons: 30 mins limit removal and Maximum Iso limit removal) Copy it on an SD Card and put it back into my Lumix G3). The patch also seems to work, because when I try to open the new/patched firmware (G3___V13.bin), the ptool3 says "Error: Wrong file or trying to use already patched file!". But when I put the SD card into my Camera, and click on the green Play-button, nothing happens. I don't get a sandclock, and no message asking me, if I want to upgrade the Camera or install a firmware update or anything like that. Can anyone of you help me? My battery is fully charged, and I already read the FAQ

So, erhm, guys, what's wrong? I used @pvdog settings from setf.ini . Those are the results on M.Zuiko 45 mm f/1.8

I used tri-pod. One image from death chart, the other (lower bitrate) from standard recording.

Soy Un usuario sudamericano, e hackeado mi cámara, no he tenido problemas Con el Famoso error de escritura, la imagen o carta de la muerte la he logrado filmar por más de Dos minutos de momento estoy probando aun el hack, subiré noticias en idioma español y me daré el tiempo para subir un tutorial para aquellos que están buscando más Respuestas! Gracias Vitaliy_Kiselev y al usuario luisnando por sus ajustes que me ayudaron mucho!

wow if true I HAVE Other settings should be Equally great, the only problem I had is in low light conditions, and captured noise but easy fix THAT'S certainly are very useful SETTINGS in The Day! , Thank YOU NuevaMente @luisnando Is A Genius!, Sharing Follow Us

@Robertvelez : You are “Salvatorevelez” who asking me in Quesabesde.com? Sorry be late ;)

¿Tú eres “Salvatorevelez” quien me pregunto en Quesabesde.com? Creo te dejé un poco tarde la explicación ;)

@pvdog i tried as you wrote on the website, but i have neither a NTSC<>PAL Button-Switch nor a longer recording time then 30 min although i put on the switches in PTools. Any Ideas ?
