I had a camera freeze with Drewnet T9 24H on the 64GB 95mbps Extreme Pro card at about 40 minutes of recording. Had to remove the battery. First freeze with GH2 for me ever, of course i had to happen in the middle of single camera shooting of theatre play.. I've always used intra settings before but I needed 90+ minutes of continuos recording time for this gig. Is this freeze thing totaly random or some settings are more prone to it than others? What other setting could I use for this kind of events?
@johnnyskulls, amazing work--LOVE IT! :)
If I were you and I had to shoot something that long and wanted to make sure the camera would not freeze I would use Cake V2.3 excellent super reliable patch. I have tested this patch to death and it is super reliable. Out of the Cluster X series of patches I found Drewnet to be the most unreliable, try and shoot it in other modes and see what happens. The camera will freeze and you will have to perform a battery pull. So to your question I would say that Drewnet is more prone to freezing in general than any of the other patches from the Cluster X series. If I am not mistaken Drewnet actually pushes the envelope in terms of processing power so this is probably why it is more unstable.
@matt_gh2 :) Thanks. When I use the 45-175 line. F5.6 I found flickering .I'm still trying to solve.:)
Has anyone on here seen mention of any direct comparisons between a Moon T7 hacked GH2 and a GH4? If I'm being honest, since I got my GH4 I haven't done anything with my GH2, but then I pulled up some old footage I took with T7, and it looked really good... :) I'll probably have to get it in gear and do some sort of a comparison some time coming up I guess.
@mjfan I'd like to do this, but I never seem to have enough time these days. The SD cards I use for my GH2 aren't fast enough for Moon, and I only have 1 Transcend UHS-3 card for my GH4. Might have to grab another soon.
