@rhayokely that's my kind of place, had a biologist friend working in Madagascar for 2 years and she loved it =)

@donniewagner nice! If I may say, most people are missing a piece... but we don't even know/acknowledged it ,-)

 
As "promised" the last 3 chapters of the Nebula T8 odissey, it's been a ride, oh yeahhh!!!

Chapter V - Punish the Atoms

 
Chapter VI - Alfaminete Forest

 
And finally Chapter VII - The Lost Teeth
where I finally dropped the crop // there are 1 or 2 bkmcwd's GOLGOP3-13-MAX_BETA11 shots mixed, think the moon one.

From this terminal te mando un abrazo hermano @driftwood

@felixgarbe You dont understand. DREWnet was designed for insane 12 GOP performance in HIGH detail scenes such as trees surrounding running water for the GH2. 40Mbps is enough for in tight, mid shots but artifacts in high detail scenes. Im not going to go on about why it was designed, there's plenty of tests in the past showing what it does. Its the most complete 12 GOP ever done. Quantisation in mainly 4x4 macroblocks is insanely good.

@Paulo As I understand it, the GH4 works by adding a log color profile. The GH2 is hackable because the encoding uses a writable lookup table, but color profiles are not part of that encoding and are 'baked in' and not changeable (in more ways than one unfortunately!).

To state the extra ability of log encoding as additional dynamic range is a bit much IMO; you only get to use it in post and its not an intrinsic feature of the sensor. However, Panasonic are not alone in this; I believe Sony use this marketing trick too.

I own a backmagic that does log (BMPCC), and can say that there is a long learning curve in being able to use log encoded footage properly. It takes a while to figure out how to shoot it and how to get the best out of it. Its certainly not a magic button, and its certainly not something you would use if you want the sort of quick workflow you get from baked-in rec709, which is what the GH2 seems to excel at.

Hello, GH2, lumix 20mm + optex 1,33 with drawnet t9 and i'm making a documentary movie. Just today I found 2 mts that are not playable. All the shooting is at 24L, is there a way to fix or repair damaged mts?

thanks in advance aga

Sorry but I could not find where to download Driftwood Cluster X - Moon T7 at 24p complete with instructions for making the hack. I am inexperienced and I would try to do on my lìhack GH2.

thank you.

@antonio Also look at this site's FAQ section. It has instructions on how to apply the settings (aka "hacks")

@antonio here's a helpful link with a guide and tutorial video. http://osgfilms.com/hack-the-panasonic-gh2/

@residentjack it might be the internal settings battery. http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/7631/gh2-clock-resets-at-battery-removal/p1

very nice! :]

Nice vidz with the Moon t7 :).

So now i have the courage to downloaded all the patches and tools to hack my Gh2 for the first time. i have a new SanDisk Extrem pro card, 64GB, 95 MB/s. When i wanted to put the GH_12.bin file to my new card, it says card is write protected. I checked the lock switch but it was not set on. any ideas how to solve this? (ps. I put the card back into my GH2 and i can still shoot vidz and stills). Thanks! Lounusa

(edited: I'm using windows 7 and have a port on my Lenovo X240laptop for SD cards)

Does anyone know if this hack removes the battery indicator? I don't see the battery level that is normally in the top right corner and I don't know if it is just a setting or if the hack removes it.

Edit: gah nevermind, turns out 3rd party batteries don't show level sometimes. whoops.

@johanndoe, No there isn't a way to tell which patch is installed. I just keep a notes when I install a new patch.
