@matt_gh2 OK! If you are pleased with it, I will improve it. Thanks :-)

@flaschus

can it be improved?

Of course, I can do it. BTW, are there any artifacts in HBR or 720p? Supposing it is, it is necessary to also optimize the matrix. :-)

@bkmcwd What you have the latest patch? Something I'm confused. 1.6 was later than 1.5b.

NEW!

bkmcwd Valkyrie Flat4 V2 'Apocalypse Now' with Driftwood's Flat 4 Matrix in all modes - Setd.ini - Released 03/11/2012

This is the very experimental setting inspired from @flaschus.

In this version, the freezing issue at the moment of the focus in HBR or 720p is canceled nearly perfectly. IMO, this is more stable than previous VF4.

Please try this. And I am very glad if I can get feedbacks.

If this is also still unstable, I will further adjust.

Special thanks to @flaschus! :-)

Of course, thanks to @cbrandin and KING @driftwood!

@flaschus Thanks mate! :-)

I am continuing improving my main settings now. There were my settings which will be frozen like other persons' settings if usage environment changes. In particular, there was an issue frozen with the Panny lens at the moment of focusing. Since I found the method of canceling this, I am just going to repair my settings now.

About VF4, even if you do not use HBR, the setting frozen in HBR cannot be exhibited. Before telling image quality, I think that being used feeling easy as a tool is top priority.

In VF4_V2, not only HBR but 720p must further be stable. Please try!

Since it seems that there is some confused people, I explain the newest settings anew.

In many high-bitrate settings already released in this forum, including mine, there was the issue which a camera freezes at the moment of focusing. Although this mainly happens in HBR or 1080i, there are also some settings which freeze in 24p or 720p. It seems that especially this issue will occur easily if a Panny lens is used. As for this, it is considered to be the cause that a Panny lens consumes the resource of a camera considerably.

Since this problem is dependent also on the lens used, there are some persons not noticing. I was also hardly troubled.

However, since the settings which makes a camera freeze during recording could not be used as the tool at any times, I aimed at solving this.

As the result, the latest settings in which I corrected this issue are these:

In these settings, as long as 95MB/s SDXC card is used, this freezing issue is canceled nearly perfectly. *Since there is no time, I am not doing verification in case other cards are used.

I renewed many settings in a hurry for such a reason recently.

If these are also still unstable, I will further adjust.

Many thanks for your feedbacks! :-)

Many thanks for feedback, @Zaven13! :-)

However, the bitrates were lower and ranged from 40 to 60mb.

I think whether to be the appropriate bit rate in order to use HBR and FSH safely. However...BTW, what kind of result is it in C1.5c? Depending on conditions, C1.5c may become the higher bit rate.

And it is also checked by the difference in the film mode setting that the bit rate changes considerably.

@Mrhechang : Don't know if only my eyes see that way, but the video test looks to me like a cheap full hd camcorder: poor image, thin shapes, ...

@exilenorth: Of course, right!

But what I mean is the structure of the picture itself typical for GH series at all. Canons or even Sonys would never produce such a weak picture.

For example, my friend bought Sony A57 and I was sceptical about it. But when I watched the photo and video test, I was surprised by the deep thick shapes and details, much closer to the professional cameras and videocameras. While GH series still give really thin shapes and object details and that's why I strongly appealed many times to creating or modifying the GH color profiles in that direction.

@Mrhechang Thanks always mate! :-) I think that this is not bad as a result of HBR.

@producer @exilenorth @matt_gh2 Many thanks for interesting discussion! :-)

BTW, is it taken into consideration although the sample by @Mrhechang is with HBR? In GH2, the difference of image quality other than 24p is made clear. This sample by him shows a possibility of setting to HBR of GH2 of the image quality inferior to 24p. I think that this does not show the possibility of GH2 itself.

@producer, this may be a good opportunity to open a new Topic. I have seen so much work going into testing with the results being marginal at best. Some people do shoot decent work but most underestimate what the camera can do and limit there results. This unit has been proven to be strong and productive. I actual agree with you on this point.... shallow, thin, etc. It certainly does not represent the work that has gone into upgrading the firmware. There have been many successful ventures working in the matrix areas. @Cbrandin primarily has made major strides in this area. @producer, the abilities of this camera are constantly being mis represented by way of inexperience and timidness. Thanks For bringing this to the forefront.
