From the pdf that Vitaliy linked: "You can set to [EX. TELE CONV.] when recording still pictures or motion pictures." I could before? I just see a new menu that allows me to change the pictures and video ETC options at the same time, but there is no new functionality here really... *shrugs*.
I imagine there will be lots of people asking if it's safe if you have had the hack on..
This is what I did, but I offer no guarantees, I am not an expert .. This is what I did
I restored the original firmware 1.0 using ptools with increment at 1, no other boxes checked. Version Display in camera went back to 1.0 I then installed new firmware by simple copying the extracted .bin to an SD card.
Wow, I now have version display 1.1 and yippee .. 25P .. in creative movie mode. A quick test in Media Composer and it's 25P :)
@vitally ... it's been 20 minutes at least .. where is the new ptools :P
So far not impressed. The "high bitrate" mode is just a 24 Mbps 29.97 interlaced mode.
Also, "Added a function [HALF PRESS RELEASE].". This seems to be BACKWARDS, as if it's enabled (ON) then you cannot half press the shutter and refocus / manual focus. Am I crazy here?
Ex Tele mode still has the same restrictions for photo mode - must use "M" or smaller picture sizes, and not allowed to use raw. Also you still cannot toggle this while recording.
# Full area enlargement of AF area setting. - This seems pretty nice.
I will say this, and this is very preliminary - I noticed the gamma doesn't shift when I start recording. Could be a fluke though; off to test more. Shawn
so let me see if I understand correctly . . . the more they have changed, the better, right? because you learn how the software works by comparing differences?
@alcomposer I am with you on that, that job I was telling you about is first paid job I will be using the GH2 on, I will donate for second time then ... scurries off to change the setting on the EX1s to 25P
