I've been roaming the web for a while before coming here to ask this: is there ANY way to make my PEN E-P3 shoot at 25 fps, instead of 29,97? I asked Olympus too, but they just said: the camera can't, bye. (so professional...) I wondered if there was any chance to find a "hacked" firmware letting me set it that way, and wandering around stumbled couple of times in Vitaliy's name. :D I hope this is an "allowed" topic and, if the case, anybody could help me!

Thanks anyone and everyone! ;)

PS. any hack I could find about Olympuses was for near EVERY camera but the E-P3 -.-

]]> RGB Video levels, 16-235? vs 0-255, Olympus OMD https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/4431/rgb-video-levels-16-235-vs-0-255-olympus-omd Fri, 31 Aug 2012 06:00:07 +0000 adventsam 4431@/talks/discussions OMD mov video files looked completely blown out c/w GH2 files, so switched levels on media player to 16-235, result! Anybody know why the media players would be expanding the levels from the files, codec or computer h/w problem?

Interestingly the files imported into LR and exported are then perfect levels and playable with any media player without any messing with rgb levels?

]]> Fujifilm X-S1 & X10 Cameras Firmware Patch https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/2118/fujifilm-x-s1-x10-cameras-firmware-patch Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:01:49 +0000 Fenomen 2118@/talks/discussions Of course these are not DSLRs but mirrorless cameras. I am particularly interested in going with the new Fuji Finepix X-S1 2/3-inch sensor 24-624mm zoom advanced digital camera. It records at 1080p30, but unfortunately the video mode is only automatic and the bitrate is probably 17Mb/sec and not even 24Mbit (Fuji would not say).

So, I am curious if anyone here is planning on using the new Fuji X-S1 and X10 cameras, and if there is any way to hope for some patch to boost up their meager capabilities in video mode? Thanks!

]]> EP2 / EPL2 short films vs GF1/2/3 https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/4100/ep2-epl2-short-films-vs-gf123 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:54:33 +0000 AlbertZ 4100@/talks/discussions I like very much Panasonic GF line, however it's a shame that it's very hard to find short films made with these little camera. This is due to the fact that a Panasonic user prefers to shoot with a GH1/GH2 camera, great video quality indeed. However I am very interested in "compact"and cheapy m43 cameras like GF cams since I love shooting in extreme situations. I have discovered that many young filmmakers have used Olympus PEN in their projects: this is often due to the fact that because Olympus promotes every year 72/48 hour film contest...I was suspiscious at first, however when I've seen some short film realized with PEN ep2 , epl2 etc.. I realized that these cameras could be a good option for "street" and cheap projects...even if the video quality is no doubt worser than gf2 camera, I got the impression that overall quality of PEN, thanks to IS body, is better..

these are some short films I've found on the net..

What do you think about it?

I know all the lenses interchange. But ...Is there a use for the in body stabilization in a video project? C cam?

]]> Olympus OM-D EM-5 Questions https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/2671/olympus-om-d-em-5-questions Sat, 24 Mar 2012 00:33:20 +0000 APXmusic 2671@/talks/discussions The OM-D EM-5 certainly looks interesting. That 5 Axis image stabilization looks great. I have a few questions for owners of the camera.

Does it have 24p? Does the stabilization work with Panasonic lenses? (i.e. the 7-14mm f4.0 and the 20mm f1.7) Would you use this over your GH2? (If you have one)

This next one is for Vitaliy. Do you plan to hack the firmware for this camera?

i'm not sure if you like the 5 Axis IS of Olympus when used in video. basing on the video posted above, it's smooth for gliding. so can this camera the replacement of the steadicam rigs? what you say?

I tried googling it, but if some people'd like a X100 hack, I didn't find anyone looking competent in that domain.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev is it easy to see if a firmware is encrypted ?]]> Official Olympus E cameras topic https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/309/official-olympus-e-cameras-topic Thu, 30 Jun 2011 10:15:56 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 309@/talks/discussions

Since new Olympus cameras become more video oriented it is good thing to make separate topic for them.
Plus three new Olympus lenses seems to be suitable for video shooting.
