    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*.

    @Shield, I can see a gamma shift, but it appears to be less

    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.

    Wow. What a nice treatment from Panasonic to our European friends. I hear they are snatching every GH2s in the stores. Haha.

    @Vitaliy_Kiselev

    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?

    Of course.
    And porting won't very fast, as I need to make many things before porting itself.
