@Conundrum Yeah its weird, I directed a shoot with 5d MKIIs and IIIs as well as sony fs100 on a slider.... all running at 25p- never seen anything but normal fluid action from them ( i know...they cost more)

This mild flicker / strobing is unfortunately slightly unconvincing.... as it takes my mind of what I should be doing which is being absorbed by the material.... But I will do your tests you suggest and then judge....

Btw - Which settings should strobing normally be un-noticeable? Like real life, non digital, fluid motion? Should it be 24p with 40/50 Shutter, or 25p, or 50p?

If the tests come out with something useful I'll post them, if this has all been user error and my ProCamera friends shows me something I completely missed I will post that too.... Best.

@emonty

Always use search. Plus this topic is not for this, it is mostly for Issues topic.

@feha, @aljimenez, @Pulse Thanks guys! For the panning and such, i haven't experienced choppyness at all. Im sure I just haven't done anything to encounter it yet but I may experience this soon as I've seen a few posts with the same issue. A lot of the the shots were in 60p and when in 24p i was using a monopod or tripod. I am going to shoot a music video this saturday and if I come across this problem I'll let you know what may be causing it.

Otherwise it is all about settings, 24p i shoot in 1/50th shutter and 60p I go up to 1/125 or 1/160th. When I watched Philip Bloom's GH3 video, I observed the panning shot with the corvette speeding down the highway. I think he shot at a higher frame rate then conformed it to 24p. The cards I use are the 95mb/s Sandisk cards. Maybe a higher quality card would help you@Pulse. Thanks again guys!

I was really on the fence between GH3 and D5200. Being a long-time Nikon owner I was pretty excited about the performance I have been seeing from the D5200 but I needed to make a choice and just go with it. I took a chance and just ordered my GH3 this morning from Texas Media Systems. I should have it by end of week and look forward to field-testing.

That is the ranking of the sever testers form the German “Stiftung Warentest“. As you see the Panasonic Gh3 ranked as current best DSLR+Mirrorless System Camera. Also the compact cameras from Panasonic and Olympus are on top of the list. Quite an astonishing result! That said there is no such thing as a perfect ranking and testing. It all depends from what you need :)

Time to change from hacked (MOON) GH2 to GH3, any suggestions? any future hack plans?

What do you mean?

Gh3 body is on the way to me, firmware is available.

Firmware format is totally different from cameras of GH2 generation. Hence all as usual, dumping (if sucessfull). And later reversing.

gamma/tone/WB shift still exists and no AE lock to shutter halfpress... nmad

@drbuckyballs

How about look few posts above?

Just made the upgrade... At last I have continuous display without interruption via hdmi out for my Blackmagic Intensity Pro. Great for live streaming !

do all custom settings remain after the upgrade?

@emonty , yes!
