Thank you :-) Telling the truth I haven't tried to find any solution to the issue for months. I gave up, probably the only one who could find a solution is Panasonic itself.

pre-filtered and wrapped in silk with ffmpeg help; I updated the video with much smoother results .-)

Take a look at this raw time-lapse I shop last year, this situation is extremely bad:

@Odur very bad indeed ,-)

Buen dia Amedeo =)
If you lift levels obviously this atrocious issue is going to make itself more notoriously BIG... and even more atrocious.
I must admit the "workaround" I proposed earlier falls short for this new episode with such a random fast colour shift magnificence.
Nevertheless I played with your video and 20+ chroma/noise plugs in virtual dub with no satisfying results, also went back to AE to further study the souls of the hungry ghost army.

As I mention in an earlier post, probably the path for a better workaround implements averaging. If you search in the interwebs you'll see that nobody has found and shared a free fix, being for fast changing (random) WB or colour shifts. RE:Deflicker it is just the best (algorithm) implementation and that comes at a price. On the free way again, continuously developing Avisynth plugs may have something that works, I would not know, haven't manage to run a stable version in my comp (mac).

Based in sample image, T. Kopriva implementation,

The below expression for AE (by Markos Shingleton) aims at use the ‘brightness’ of one layer to drive a value in another layer. http://markos.co.nz/2012/05/after-effects-expression-use-the-luminance-of-one-layer-to-drive-another-layer/

exposure = effect("Exposure")(3);
multiplier = 2; 

driverLayer = thisComp.layer("MuzzleFlash");
samplePoint = [0,0];
 sampleSize = [1920,1080];

 lightnessSample = driverLayer.sampleImage(samplePoint,sampleSize);
driverLightness = rgbToHsl(lightnessSample)[2];

 exposure = driverLightness * multiplier;  

 
That could be a starting point to build a solid workaround. It should be mod and tweaked for each channel by someone that knows expressions and then... well then we still need to find a way of averaging and subtracting abrupt colour "jumps" by channel =)

 
While doing this little research some things came to mind, for instance the recent sony F5 mod, nikon d600 acton lawsuit, Magic Lantern long story, and GH2 hack. It seems to me that for certain thing(s) to happen / change there must be a context and a know-how, support and also the will to share and overcome.
Meanwhile, simple ants like me (probably you too) can only do so much and keep exploring surroundings or carrying the stones outside the nest :P

So, back to our lovely random shit, things we can do NOW:

• A - ETR - expose to the right
• B - Take a black tshirt and write on big bold white letters something like "THANK YOU PANASONIC", do a timelapse with us as subject and share it with the world.
• C - Use TLtools - http://www.tltools.it/wp/en/tltools-2/ - or free demo of LRtimelapse (limited to 400 image seq batch) to best possible mitigate collaterals before processing; use previous' post workflow to further smooth results
• D - Start new fashions, i.e. include a colorchart in every time-lapse frame (to WB in post) or even better B&W timelapses!!!
• E - Go to wolof country and start learning how to play the djambe
• F - Support spaghetti (#1) eaters like @Vitaliy and their wild backyards :P
• G - Pet more cats, takes away bad energies
• H - Breath and write poetry, learn how to cook, survival techniques for the coming end of the world
• I - Pesimist brother says "it's very bad, it's the end, it cannot be worse!" optimist brother replies "yes yes!!! it can always be worse" (#2 - example)
• J - add your own...

Hi there I have two Gh3's that I use predominatly for video work. One of them in the last few weeks has quit recording with random frequency sometimes will be after a few seconds and then sometimes after a few minutes. I use 32gb sandisk extreme class 10 cards but the fault seems to be with the camera and not the cards as there is no such fault when using them with the second camera. Also none of the lenses that I use seem to be causing the fault as again I use them with the second camera.

I have reset the camera from the set up menu which hasn't solved the issue. Not sure if this setting does a complete factory reset? Unfortunately the camera is out of warranty so before contacting Panasonic wondered if anyone had any experience of this or any advice.

Many thanks

@maxr thanks for the response. funnily enough was running tests on the camera this afternoon and I was getting the 'stopping recording' roughly one in three times. I use mainly lenses with electronic contacts (Pana 12-35mm, 25mm, olympus 45mm but occasionally do use old legacy lenses with adapters so have always had the 'shoot w/o lens' option in the menu always on for convenience (as seemed to be the advice) as a test put this option to off and tried recording again with all the electronic lenses... and for the last few hours testing the camera, not once has it stopped recording. popped a few legacy lenses on there and selected on in the 'shoot w/o lens option' and again no experience of the recording stopping.

So all seems fine again (although rule of sod once I use it on a job may play up again!) But confused by this as it has only been an issue in the last few weeks and as I mentioned had always up until this point had the 'shoot without lens option' set to on. But it would seem for now that that is what was causing the problem??? Anyone with similar experience would be great to hear from. But once again thanks for your response :)

My GH3 also has some problems

Back Wheel is loose but still works if push it a bit

Smudged EVF , it seems coating came off

My camera body was damaged, hope weather sealing still working

I was surprised when I noticed that my GH3 has now also empty rolling back wheel too. I have not used my GH3 for half a year (it is my backup camera) and now it gets new faults even when not using it.

Doesn't matter if you are using or not...Often is happening thanks to the insulation (splash and dust) around critical places e.g. front and back wheel...but not in all camera brands...Pentax and for example Olympus has long tradition in such things...I was using Pentax LX model 1980...made 1991th...it was completely sealed...

I am glad to hear that peternap...b.t.w. just told me from authorized service that my camera has repaired promptly... Camera could be more sturdy if I can say...more quality control on the producing line and after...but should say also there is no perfect camera anyway...like friend of mine who has camera service said once...Good camera is that which is working and bringing money and pleasure...Of course it depends of that are you hobbyist or professional...maybe both...

Ive really grown to absolutely hate the EVF on the GH3. Its just F---ING terrible. Impossible to quickly focus with manual glass. And now that Ive been acquiring and using more and more manual lenses, its just become a bigger and bigger issue (for photography). The lack of focus peaking doesnt help at all for both photos and videos. Really a f---ing bummer because I love this camera. Can you tell Im f---ing bummed?
