Yeah.... I can't see how it can be repaired to a standard like that of the GH2. I've had to get a bracket to keep me going in the interim. If it works out I probably won't even get it repaired.

@toxotis70 you can overload anything, even with a limiter. Many overloads come from shell resonances in the mic itself, and overloads can occur anywhere in the chain.

@sir_danish moire? you must be referring to the nicely accurate fine pattern colorful detection mode function. I understand U

• flash bracketing non existent.
• broader range of WB bracketing, it's a bit whimsical, would be nice if we could expand the range wider and not only by geometrical distances but also outside the preset, choosing several presets and/or custom wb. • honor menu's "remember last position" in C3 mode, so to avoid the extra-stupid-time-consuming steps that are needed.

How to make the Lumix GH3 camera deliver proper, recordable 1080p over HDMI

With the firmware update + menu settings, you should be able to get the native 1080p framerate over HDMI.

1/ Deactivate VIERRA Link

2/ Set HDMI Output to AUTO.

3/ Attach HDMI Recorder and test!

@labalbi: Yes, it is the BIG issue:

Here is a GH2 test shot:

Form yourself an opinion. My conclusion is: The GH3 can turn into a psychedelic rainbow machine, in certain situations. This is not good. Don´t the guys at Panasonic test their new cameras, before they beat the big drum for them? I mean, the moiré isn´t the only downside of the GH3. Compare the "highly praised" 72mpbs all-i mode to 50mbps IPB and you will know what I mean.

It isn´t a bad camera, I actually like more about it than I dislike, but isn´t it a shame, that it takes an ingenious hacker once again to tap the full potential of that thing? Before the release of the GH3, some people were chasing rainbows and expected a new tool with highly tweakable settings and color profiles that could be shared with other people (without the need of a heck) on the official website. A mature piece of hardware, but customisable, just like an Android phone. I don´t know whether this is realizable or not, but what we´ve actually got from Panasonic is a neat update, no more, no less. No effort was made to produce something really special and innovative.

A question for those that have sent their GH3 back for hotshoe repair....Has the repair held up or is this going to be a reoccurring problem?

posted a question but already answered

Thanks for the info. I may skip the update then as there was nothing I needed for shooting stills with manual focus.

That was probably the #1 most requested fix. You've got to wonder how they design such great stuff and implement it so badly.

I had that happen to my new camera, and I had sleep mode completely disabled. It would happen sometimes immediately when I turned it on and other times after 2 or 20 minutes, i.e. no pattern. I returned it and they sent me a new one.

The last 2 days I've got a NEW problem--occassionally when I hit the Playback button to review a photo, it won't go into playback. By switching the dial from A mode to P and back it starts working. I love this camera but they really did a lousy job of testing it before releasing it. I hate the thought of sending it to Panasonic... Has anyone else experienced THIS problem?

Does anyone know if the settings disappearing after 10 seconds was corrected with the firmware update? I don't see it listed.

Thanks -- Tara

Do we know why the shutter time for the electronic shutter is limited to a maximum of 1 second?

It seems kind of pointless to limit it unless there is a technical reason for it. What is the electronic shutter actually? Is it just a timed reset+readout cycle on the sensor, or is other electronics involved which isn't involved when the mechanical shutter is used?

i made some test pannings (variable speed) today with my gh3+12-35 , on tripod with fluid head. I tried all the possible codecs (avchd - mov - intra) and speeds (24-25-50p - Pal land here.)

I then imported them in my mbp 2011, i7 2Ghz , 16 gb ram, ssd disk and I saw a lot of stuttering in almost all the footage, especially in 24 and 25 p.

BUT when i tried to play them in my tv from GH3 , there weren't any problem at all !!!

I suspect two things.... 1) not strong enough computer. 2) wrong refresh rate of internal lcd MBP screen... all lcd screens on mbp run at 60Hz , so if i am trying to play 25-50p footage , there is something wrong! I cant change the internal lcd screen to 50 Hz.

@Eno yes, I always shoot full manual. And I'm a PAL region, too. Just to understand, did you ever notice the stutter problem on the GH3 screen while recording?
