I try to prepare the hack but I cant seem so save the new hack-firmware, I get an error saying wrong filename (you can see the whole message on the atached files), even my filename should be correct...?
I want to use my GH2 (hacked of course) to record aerial video from a RC Hexacopter. I am currently downlinking video from a small camera to a base video screen. But ideally I want to see what my GH2 is looking at. Is the hack able to output live video out (via AV out or HDMI out) while recording video? I admit I only got the camera today and have not yet aplied the hack (waiting for my highest spec SD card to arrive). And I don't know if the GH2 already has live video out anyway. Forgive me if I have asked a dumb question.
Apologies if it's clearly written elsewhere but I'd be very grateful if you could put me straight with these...
Can the GH2 shoot 25fps PAL now? Is the HDMI totally clean? Would the camera work with an external recorder like the PIX 220 HDMI if I wanted to add radio mics? And...most importantly...if I picked up a GH2 off the shelf today would the hack still work on such a new model or have Panasonic disabled it somehow?
Thanks for th reply. Load everything that i had in.the patch and just add the 30minute removal. And load to camera. If going back to stock firmware load the ptools with nothing checked but the increment at 1? Thanks Seth
Looking through the patch i skipped the 30minute removal if i add that and save can i just overwrite the same patch in the camera with just that change? Seth
Loaded ptools patch and.after the update the screen menu looks stock is this normal or is there suppose.to be extra menus to.show the new settings? Thanks Seth
I've spent hours trawling through trying to find a definitive answer to a couple of questions and am still stumped. I'm very interested in being able to record 720/50P at higher bitrates. Am I right in thinking the hack will allow me to do this and if so what are the highest stable bitrates achievable on a good card? Anyone noticed a big difference in quality?
First THANKS ViTaliy! Your a GOD! Now my stupid NOOB question.
I depend on HDMI monitors for all shooting. If I install the hack, does the HDMI output work AT LEAST as well as it does with out the patch? In short, do I LOOSE basic HDMI output functionality for 1080 @ 24p?
Not knowing for certain this work has kept me from installing the patch. signed fradicat!
How do you download and install the ini settings? Have downloaded several, and changed name to seta.ini, stored in the ptools folder where I have ptools and the original firmware, clicked on button, and it registers as loading, but nothing actually happens to the settings...
I know there must be a thread addressing this issue, but I haven't been able to find it and would sincerely appreciate some assistance.
I have a Euro camera (I think) Setting Output to NTSC and reformatting card and rebooting works fine all settings. But doing the same for PAL crashes on 720p and all manual modes. Should this be the case?
