Let stop to dancing around those settings :-) It's simple to get best quality with these settings which available for now.

All this tested on GF2, i think it's same for GH2.

  1. Video Bitrate FSH/SH : you can set it for example to 200 000 000, final bitrate will depends on what quantizier you will set.

  2. GOP Size : 1

  3. Encoder settings 1 180i/p : 1 Without this video will very jerky.

  4. Quantizier : depends on your card speed. Fast card needed. Take 32 for start number.

  5. Quantizier table : all to be 1.

  6. 1080 Scaling I : all to be 0x0. First 16 part is for Y, second for Cb, third for Cr.

  7. Table flag1 I : all to be 0x0. (Not shure affect this seting or not )

  8. Table High I : all to be 0x0. (Not shure affect this seting or not)

And that's it. You should to set all picture adjustments to -2 except sharpness. This settings will give you image that very close to that what you see in live view.

]]> More native µ43 f/1.4 lenses please http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/2346/more-native-%C2%B543-f1.4-lenses-please Mon, 20 Feb 2012 14:47:57 +0000 stoney 2346@/talks/discussions I like f/1.4 lenses. A combination of f/1.4 and ISO 3200 is good enough for low lighting.

Why f/1.4? Nokton 0.95 is great for GH1 with usual max ISO 800. But GH2 can push ISO to 3200. That's 2 stops gain. Then f/1.4 lens might be good enough at much lower cost. Also 1.4 bokeh looks nicer than 0.95 bokeh.

Voigtlander seems going after classical focal lenths for 2x crop factor of m43 with 4:3 ratio. Thus the 17.5mm and 25mm. But I want 2.35:1 ratio... and it's easier to create the wider look with wider angles.

Specifically I want 11mm, 14mm, 20mm, 35mm with native µ43 mount, f/1.4, only manual focus... to keep the price and the overall size/weight down. You know... a set of modern fast manual focus lenses at good cost. The focal lengths seems weird, but Panasonic already produced 14mm and 20mm pancakes. Since Olympus already made 12mm 2.0, I hope Panasonic produces 11mm prime lens. There is a huge gap between 20mm 1.7 and 45mm 1.8. I hope Panasonic produces 35mm prime lens. So 11/14/20/35 don't sound too crazy. But they wouldn't be 1.4.

Samyang?
