MJPEG Why don't make GH2 render lossless image sequence instead of QT?

vadimvadimman — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 08:14:47 +0000

Hey, I got this idea. What if GH2 could render image sequence instead of compressed video in QuickTime container? I mean this would be great since each frame is compressed as an independent JPEG image, and then into QuickTime file. Is there any way to bypass QT container and get just lossless image sequence on card?

Anamorphic loupe?

Basically it would be like a normal lcd finder/loupe that optically decompresses the image taken with an anamorphic adapter or lens. For eg. useful when you can't or don't want to use a monitor.

Is there such a thing? I don't think so, or at least I could not find it.

Do you think that something like that would be practical and useful for anamorphic shooting?

Someone here tried to make guerrilla anamorphic adapter, a loupe would be easier to build and perhaps even to sell.

Just an idea :)

Volunteers wanted: Making mindmaps of most settings

I have an idea to use

http://www.mindomo.com/ (as it makes it possible to collaborate and also have desktop apps, but any similar platform is also suitable)

To make mindmaps for settings, making it easy to find suitable ones.

It can be different veiws to problem, starting from all GH2 settings to specific GF3 settings with custom tables.

Idea for a custom M4/3 adapter for video.

One of the issues with still lenses is that they are in many ways not well suited for film, but I have some ideas on what to improve them! Most of this comes not from improving the lenses, but the adapter between them. My ideas so far would be an adapter like this:

1. Mounted sideways: This way the focus mark and aperature all end up mounted sideways, like a cine-lens. Makes life for your focus puller easier.

2. Extra tight lock: As we saw in another thread, adapters tend to be a bit loose at times. While there are ways to improve it, I would not mind and extra lock screw.

3. Ability to set flange to focal distance (shimming more or less): This might not work in practice, but this would be to make sure the focus marks are on, but as they might be off on the lens, this might be rendered moot.

And if possible a back that has a bokeh filter holder added, for getting anamorphic bokeh at a wide-angle.

Do you think this would be doable? Because an adapter like this could help a lot for us that use a focus puller and to adapt still lenses for better work for video!
