Some extra details about TZ10 firmware.

As we know it is using so called UPD format.
It is much more complex compared to GH1, and encrypted.

Below you can see part of the format header with contents of UPD file:

Of course, this is data after decryption :-)

More TZ related information will be added later.

Sure it's not your day job. Are you alone on this project? Don't you think we need kinda forum for this?

what's up? any news since the announcement?

Hey Vitaliy! This news made my day! I was waiting and hoping for it sooo much! The TZ10 IS THE ULTIMATE hacking platform! It so good hardware-wise and the optics are awesome. I think we need to make the hacking of this baby a bit more collaborative and open. I mean this cam is really very popular and many people bought it. So I guess there will be some contributors. I think it would be nice to start to collect wishes/requests what could be implemented in the hacked firmware.

My wish is to add time-lapse function - to take shots in some time interval and put them into a video file. When you view the created video file - all actions goes really fast, e.g. clouds on the sky are moving fast or head of the sun flower ("podsolnuh" in Russian ;) is following the sun's motion etc.

Count on me,
Luigi

This will be a very handy little hacked camera to put into a waterproof housing. Quality housings are cheap for this model.

The TZ10 is also known as the LUMIX DMC-ZS7 in USA.
