Donated, thanks so much for your wonderful work Vitaly! I wish I had the head for 1s & 0s like you do. Love the GH1 hack and just got my GH2!

>Can anyone tell what the difference 1.0 and 1.0E? And where i can download 1.0E and how to upgrade?

I do not know anything about 1.0.
Only firmware versions that I know of are 1.0C, 1.0D and 1.0E. All show up in version information as 1.0.
And you can't get 1.0E as it is not publically available.

>Will it be possible for European models to have 30 frames @ 1080i and 60 frames @ 720p?
It all ready is. Go to setup menu and select video output as NTSC.

Just donated, thanks for the hard work.

how soon can we see a hack to change language from Japanese to English?

Thanks

>As ELAW also asked, I'd really like to know if it will be possible for European models to have 30 frames @ 1080i and 60 frames @ 720p?

If you mean NTSC/PAL switching like in GH1 hack. It is definitely possible.

>Vitaliy_Kiselev: If you mean NTSC/PAL switching like in GH1 hack. It is definitely possible.

Please I beg you, make it happen. It is a really important feature for us european users. Thanks for all your awesome work!

Thanks Vitaliy for the doing this. I just discovered the GH2 for me now and it is all VERY interesting what's going on in the "scene". So far I filmed with the Sony PD-150P which is old and damaged by now and I never thought I could afford something new with modern quality standards within the next five years or so. This is like Xmas and birthday together and if the hack works again .. it will be just awesome!

I'm so excited - been trying out some Nikon and other lenses today, shooting a bit of harp playing in low light. It looks just amazing! I can't wait to see what the hack can do to the video quality. I'm so in love with my GH2 it's worrying!!

BUT....Vitaliy, can you make it possible to change the ISO while shooting video? At the moment, you have to stop recording, but then you don't see the histogram (which I find really useful while shooting). It would save a few button presses to be able to change ISO but I understand if not possible.

Dear Vitaliy, please give us the 25p for the GH2 Pal version.... all the other cameras I have, got it!!! no way until now to mix the footage... nice camera, but without the 25p I can't use it.
Stalin is an amazing name for this Hack Project.
Thanks f

VK,
What is the status with funding for your new GH2 body? do we need to ramp up donations?

btw, Panasonic recently released low-end consumer Sony BSI small chip pistol camcorders, like old Sanyo Xacti(so Pana are re-badged) but with 28mb 1080i, go figure.

Hello Vitaliy -
Great work, can't wait to see the final product.
I double-checked the GH2 Feature Want List and didn't see one I would like. I might be looking at an older list, so I thought I'd ask. Under "Stills" features would it be feasible to include "interval recording?" This is useful for time-lapse. For example, snap a photo every _____ (second/minute/5 minute/hour).
Thanks and good luck!

>No it isn't. I tried now and even with output set to NTSC, video is captured at 50fps.

I bought GH2 in UK from Camera shop in Scotland. Was sold as "refurbished" but with 12 month warranty. First thing I did when I got camera was change to NTSC because I mostly work with 60 and 30 fps. All footage coming out was at those rates. I never actually checked to see if 50fps works, I just assumed it does, but it does not. I guess I have US version of camera!? I'm not complaining, but I called camera shop and they don't know how it happened. Maybe "refurbished" means grey import... now wondering about my warranty...

L4SBI, genuine UK cameras have a 'UK Model' sign on the box, by the serial nos. What does yours say?
