    Oh, we have done our 99FireFilms entry with 1.1 GH2 too.

    HBR Mode, some Minolta MDs and mostly iso 160.

    Nice Story, well done.

    From 1:31 i can see vignetting. Is this with the Magic SLR 12mm a problem at any aperture?

    @pop24

    Top! Any grain reduction in post? Love the joke(kann ja auch Deutsch hehe)

    Panasonic puts their 30p in an interlaced stream to maintain compatibility with 1080i televisions and the AVCHD 1.0 standard.

  • sdbestsdbest

    I tested ClipWrap 2 from Divergent Media (http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap) to convert Ver. 1.1 30p HBR clips to ProRes. Final Cut Pro reports the clips are, indeed, progressive, rather than interlaced. Why Panasonic wraps its 30p clips in an interlaced container eludes me.

    @cocute

    1080i is never better than any progressive format. The 720p for the Olympus camera is only 30 FPS as well. Basically this is no match for the GH2. It might not even be a match for the GX1 if it is true 1080i/60. I would much rather have 1080i/30p than true 1080i.

    The new Olympus OM-D E-M5 recording format MOV(MPEG-4AVC/H.264) Full HD: 1920(H)x1080(V), 59.94i Recording *3 20Mbps http://www.43rumors.com/ft5-full-e-m5-specs-leaked-via-google-cache/

    You think this quality is better that GH2 firm 1.1 HBR 25p 24Mbps? Thanks

    @Mr_Moore - the link is broken.

    Had the 14-35 for some time on the E-P2, it focused very slowly.... If you want to use autofocus look for the SWD lenses, they are faster.

  • cocutecocute

    You see table compatibility: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/connect/gh2.html

    Zuiko 14-35mm i think slow to focus, same that 12-60mm SWD: Waiting new GH3 have PDAF......

  • gabb3rgabb3r

    Anyone knows if big pro 4/3 lenses like the Zuiko 14-35mm f/2 focus faster too? I'm currently looking into one of these babies as I need AF on many occasions but I read on some forums that the focus speed was around 3-4 sec with a m43 adapter on a GH2. Anybody can confirm this please? Thanks!

    Do all new x series lens work well with fw 1.0 hacked? I didn't buy one but considering to buy ... Any idea ? I know all features including power ois works with firmware 1.1 ,.. Hai friends any one tested new lenses from Panasonic?

  • Mr_MooreMr_Moore

    @arvidtp It’s hidden so well that at some point I thought one of the developers was playing a practical joke on me. So glad I finally found it.

  • arvidtparvidtp

    @Mr_Moore - my bad about not being able to override interlacing in FCPX - just didn't find that view of the inspector. its well hidden (at least if you're used to the old interface). Cool. I'm getting to like FCP X more and more…

  • driftwooddriftwood

    No hacks will work with v1.1... yet... the next ptools (coming when its finsished) will see that change.

  • Mr_MooreMr_Moore

    @toxotis70 I’m sorry, I don’t quite follow. Could you elaborate?

  • rajamalikrajamalik

    @ Driftwood shall I update to firmware 1.1. do all patches work with it? I have a doubt if firmware 1.1 doesn't patch how people can use gx pz series lens with patch like quantum v9b? The new firmware support auto power ois rite?

  • onlocationonlocation

    Also in my testing with v1.1, when you have a HDMI device plugged in, the menu settings for unavailable recording modes like 720p are greyed out and not selectable. So this issue has obviously gotten some attention from Panasonic in this new firmware even though it hasn't been mentioned in the release notes. Hopefully these changes can give Vitaliy some more insight to the HDMI workings.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    I can vouch that @onlocatoin is indeed correct for HDMI to work effectively with 24p and 30p in camera whilst using hdmi out is to use v1.1.

  • toxotis70toxotis70

    @Mr Moore... there is no benefit to do that in FCPX , because even if you do, the footage stills render when you put footage from other cameras too. The only solution is to use clip wrap.

  • onlocationonlocation

    The biggest advantage of v1.1 for us is that it allows us to record in camera at 1080 30p while using HDMI out (for remote monitor on a r/c helicopter). Previously in v1.0 and hacked firmware the only possibility was to record in camera at 24p or at 60i while using HDMI out, neither of which are great for aerial video work.

    @Vitaliy_Kiselev if it is at all possible to look at both firmwares now and see how they allowed 24p and 30p recording while using HDMI output then maybe it will be possible for you to allow 720 60p in camera recording while using HDMI output too?

    Either way having high bitrate 30p recording with the new hack will make this a much more useful camera for a lot of us!
