GH5 - impossible to unlock VLOG?
And as of May 2019, that vLog L activation link is no longer found. (just shows you the first link as a redirect).

Panasonic GH1 firmware research, testing
I seem to have successfully (well, hopefully, I haven't had a crash yet) created a sort of hybrid configuration (Specifically for NTSC). Humpman's work for the AVCHD side as it gives me the nicer shadow area without the streaky lines or …

@zcream seems I made a rather stupid error in not matching up the FHD/SH bitrate (only the overall changed), so when I bumped them higher than what humpman had, and did a test shot at 3200 in low light, I immediately saw what you were talking about …

Not sure if this is useful to you or not in the mean time. In the studio with the lights off (most of the windows are blocked off) I shot the following at ISO 3200, 1/50th, f/2.0 in FHD did some pans, stopped on some darkened scenes, panned back, …

Will do (though I don't shoot PAL, would using 24p/48i achieve the same purpose?) PS: just did this ~10 min video (ISO 400, f/3.2, 1/50th, with "Smooth" film mode -2 sharpness, -2 contrast, -2 noise reduction, and graded in Davinci R…

@humpman using your user.ini and configuration examples I kind of 'mashed' this together using LPowell's 100mbps Max Lat patch as a base. ( https://pastebin.com/dpzYfp33 ) Changes on top of the Max Lat patch in pTools: * Turned off…

GH1: 75Mbps Peak Reliability Setting - V2 update
Example on the 75mbps patch, I however made one change, I checked the 29.97i to 2400i option (ie: 48i target which is much easier to conform into 24p timeline without a pulldown). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nShD509KY7A

@humpman ok, that's where I was confused, in MediaInfo and other applications, it shows the framerate as 24fps, but also shows that it's interlaced/separated fields, in none of the applications does it say 48i so I was confused as to how t…

@humpman so for example if I were to just load up the 75mbps patch in ptools, turn on 2997i to 2400i option, it's pretty much progressive 24p once transcoded and should for all intents and purposes be treated like 24p (in regards to setting shu…

GH1: 75Mbps Peak Reliability Setting - V2 update
@tetakpatak @yskunto Yea, it's seeming consistent with all the patches, though it varies with each patch/mode (But at least it's always consistent for a specific combination, like with Max Latitude + FHD, it's always muted until t…

GH1: 75Mbps Peak Reliability Setting - V2 update
One issue I've had with SH mode (59.97 progressive), is the audio gets recorded late. The first second or so of the stream is muted, and it seems like the audio is delayed from the video by about that much time. Edit: Seems to happen in FHD t…

GH1: 75Mbps Peak Reliability Setting - V2 update
For anyone curious, I just picked up a GH1 which was already hacked, and went ahead and flashed this one here (but also allowed for the ISO to go up to 3200). Since I'm using Davinci Resolve, I can't seem to use the MTS files directly an…

Olympus em5 ii hack or firmware update for improved video quality?
That's the route I went. Even though I have a E-M5 (Mk1), I picked up a used GH1 for the sole purpose of being hacked, because it'll produce a much higher capture than my measly 20mbit on the E-M5. And the last time there was a rumor of …
