Theese samples was taken before the sunset so light conditions wasn't perfect, but instead of that, result is very good... Decent Leica glass do the job for less light out there :) Here are my settings tweaked a bit to got it to work... Thanks driftwood for your work too... great comunityhere...
G3 doesn't have MP4 mode... only AVCHD I figured it out.. Encoder Setting 1 1080i/p was the cause.. Lowering from 9 to 5 resolved the issue... I have also lowered bitrate to 36M as before, it was giving me write errors when set above 40M.. Will elaborate with this with your settings... Here are some samples...
@driftwood: so first attempts failed... when I hit the record button, camera switches to video mode and freezes... It's focusing but timer didn't show up and camera doesn't responding to any button. Hard reset is needed (take out the battery). I will be elaborating with settings a bit...
Guys try out 'Galaxian' on the G3 for me. Its over on the ptools 3.66d thread - Please let me know if it works, however, Im not so sure mp4 playback will work in-camera (however, its fine on WMP, Movist, Quicktime, NLE's etc...)
GalaXian is the first hack settings featuring parts of my Cluster v6 GH2 settings. Give it a whirl and report back here.
Here is my last settings which I'm using atm... It did freeze sometimes, but when reformatting card in camera, all seems ok... But 36M is highest value I can get without write errors. Safe value is 33M by my observations. I'm using SanDisk Extreme Pro 8GB (95MB/s) and SanDisk Extreme 32GB (45MB/s) cards.
yea, I know... just didnt notice that Pany one was on charger when updating... if something went wrong, it'll be my fault and i will not blame anybody else but me :-| But I think that technicians at service would take care of repair/replacement... I've never had any problem with warranty repairs (as I own small shop)... I've got replaced some goods which they didnt have to replace... but I will take care as I mostly do...
Take my good advice. Never ever update firmware with non panasonic battery. Ok?
