Unfortunately this camera only sends a signal through its HDMI port if it is in "view recordings" mode. Is there a possibility to hack the firmware to allow HDMI output while recording? I'm all in to do the hard work myself, I just need a starting point.

Thank you all in advance.

]]> clean video out from. the panasonic gh2 with bitrate hack? https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24584/clean-video-out-from.-the-panasonic-gh2-with-bitrate-hack Sun, 11 Oct 2020 21:57:09 +0000 Personalkees 24584@/talks/discussions Hi I would like to get a clean HDMI output from my panasonic gh2 for streaming. The camera output is only clean when recording. This limits the time i can use the camera for streaming because the card is full. Is it possible to hach the camera to record 1080 at an extremely LOW bitrate so the card never gets full? What numbeR do i have to change in the .ini file to record at a low bitrate?

So at that price I'm ripe to add a little extra cash for some bokeh.

My main candidate is Sony 5100. But what about prior NEX series, are there any good options? Or maybe some old Canons and Nikons I'm not aware of?

Requirements:

  1. Clean live 1080 HDMI, don't need 4K.
  2. Preferably phase autofocus with good face detection. Sorry Panasonic, I've handled too many of your cameras, to know that you're not the best option in this respect.
  3. Can sustain two hours stream without overheating. I've read that Sony overheats quickly when recording on a card, but runs cooler streaming to HDMI. Any 5xxx, 6xxx owners here? Is it true?
  4. Below $400 used.
  5. Flip screen would be a good addition, but is not necessary.
