    I also noticed the dark band with the new ISO patch. It's gone if you drop shutter speed to 30 or below... not the end of the world. I wonder if this is why Panasonic didn't release those ISOs for video in the first place. I also found that among the B&W modes, the smooth mode with contrast at -2 yields the least amount of noise.... looks really smooth!

    The 12800 hack is fantastic. This is my B&W test. The grain is so cinematic:

    Just hacked my GH2 for the first time setting 24L to 22Mbit and 24H to 42 Mbit and the new ISO patch. Everything works great, but if I set the ISO to a specified value, when I'm recording, it'll say AutoISO instead of the ISO I've selected. I'm assuming this is a bug, and it's still recording at the same ISO I selected, and is just a side effect of the hack, but I'd like to know for sure.

    Apologies if this has been covered already, but I wasn't able to find an answer. Thanks!

    Yes that's normal. And you just have to change to page 2 on this topic for your answer....

    1. the KAE Patch is out . . .
    2. yes - since PTool 3.62d, welcome to the club

    @Butt

    Many thanks!

    Are you saying that KAE's old 66MB GOP3 (or any 3.61d patch) is "out" meaning it won't work or it should be working in 3.63d? (Sorry if I seem retarded here) ;)

    I been reading about Panasonic new firmware update and they will supposedly add Progressive mode to the already interlaced modes on the camera. I wonder if its possible to use new features of one firmware and combine them into another?

    Progressive Segmentes Frame Recording: (its new Panasonic's big word)

    >>One interesting limitation on the 12800 iso patch is that is seems to only work on the 1080p 24p AVCHD codec under the 24H and 24L settings. I tried to use it with the HD Mjpeg settings and with 720p 60p and the moment I pressed REC the light instantly shifted down to the 3200 ISO light settings.>>

    Is that true? Can others confirm that?

    I rather hope that PsF will be output cleanly via HDMI. If they add 25p, it can be easily fed as 1080i50 in PsF.

    yesterday i did a timelapse on 2fps mjpeg with iso 6400. no problems.
  • fatpigfatpig
    PsF would be fabulous! The solution to all 25p wishes! and also 30p with sound!

    an other example of the ISO12800 B&W shooting :


    thanks for your great work Vitality !
  • AKEDAKED
    I have just tried it and ISO 12800 works also in 720p mode.
  • arvidtparvidtp

  • _gl_gl
    Great work again by Vitaliy.

    Do the previous patches work correctly on the new PTools? Can I just import (say) Chris' popular 66mb settings?
  • chefchef

    What is really amazing is, that i not only can get now ISO 12800 in Video...
    I have now also ISO 25800 in Videomode...

    You can use ISO25800 with this:
    1. Install the Patched Firmware, with no ISO-Limits.
    2. go to Manual Movie Mode and in mode P, S or A (not M!).
    3. Set ISO to 12800.
    4. Start recording. You record now at ISO 12800.
    5. Click the wheel and then turn to left. Until its +2, nothing changes. But then, it gets more bright, 1 Stop more than ISO 12800.
    6. So, this is ISO 25600. In the unpatched GH2, you'll get with this ISO 6'400 in Video-Mode.
    7. It also gos so high with ISO, in Mode P and Auto ISO.

    Believe it or not: My GH2 has ISO 25600 in Video-Mode!

    @dfracheb I find that combination of Paris and B&W night shooting incredibly classy! Lovely stuff.
  • lolololo
    @DealjagdLtd seems to me more like the camera takes control over the shutter speed
