Thanks to everyone for posting. I've been having trouble hacking my previously unhackable GF1 (ver 1.24) but have finally had success. After at least a dozen different attempts, what finally worked was, setting an increment of 10. Checking all 3 boxes at the top. Saving as file name GF1_131.bin I'd played around with different version increments and file names for a while. I'd always been checking the first two boxes, but it wasn't until I checked the third one (new body) that it worked. I'm REALLY happy to have my camera in English. Thank you VERY much Vitaliy!

What's new in PTool 3.55d for G2? except "new body"? Anyone has tried?
I tried 4:2:2 with 1280x720, then with 1920x1080, but no success.

@andrewte

You should have full manual controls and higher bitrate with the hack on a unhackable GF1. It worked great on mine! Thanks again Vitaliy

I guess Vitaliy is specializing mainly on video, but I would surely be happy for some photo hacks as well :)

And when will PTool support the new GF3, which pictures just leaked? ;))

Ok, Vitaliy, I'm glad in my patience. Tuning all picture parameters is what will make these Panasonic cameras more professional, because whatever is doing with higher bitrate, color and resolution in the hack, the picture (and especially video, of course) remains middle class of result, not professional. And I think most of the people here would agree with me.
Please, oh please, change your target in priority on this matter!!!
Since the hacks for Canon DSLR cameras reached very professional levels (especially "technicolor" picture mode), their prices increased much in eBay, because after such a hacks they became absolute rivals to the expensive photo/video technologies.

What I mean is that whatever be changed until now, it always gives a result of nice home video style, while such a flat image parameters would present much better higher result like in the movie productions - isn't that what all we want to reach?!? It's not about waxing the carrot, it's just what looks really lightyears far from this home videoish look of our cameras, even if the hack can make them shoot at 1000Mbps/4K. The color profiles (modes) are the magic key - actually the final result is what really worth, right?

I agree - what you shoot, how it's lit, what camera moves you do, how you treat colour and other parameters in editing, and how you sequence the shots, what the story is and how you tell it... all of this is crucial to the finished item. Personally I regard the camera output as the first step but for me, rather than exotic in-camera colour settings, it's more important to have low noise / high detail to work with - colour is something that is dependent on the context of shots against other shots within the finished piece and I think that's better left to the editing stage because a video is about a sequence of shots rather than one beautiful static shot. Unfortunately (maybe because these cameras are more historically owned by stills photographers?) a lot of test videos you see are more like beautiful, animated still pictures - often set to music to give the sense of coherence they lack visually. To my mind, that's a technical test, useful in its own way, but not the same as a video. One more practical consideration: having too much in-camera colour processing might well limit what you can do with the images in the finished sequence, in other words, sabotage making an edited sequence work.

P.S. All changes concern GF1 and G2 only.

@JMF

Please don't be that lazy, go to product page and version history before posting.
G1 is supported for long time already.

I am a Mac user with a currently hacked gh13 and love it, but I want to use the new ptools to access some of the new profiles, I have been running lpowells settings for 2 months with very stable results even on commercial shoots. Anyways I have been trying to sue the compacted version of pTools for mac from the GH2 forum, and can not for the life of me get ini profile sets to load in. Sorry for the dumb question but I have been searching tonight and am wondering if it just the mac version being wonky?

Is there a setting for 3rd party battery in ptool for a G2 camera? I just can't seem to find it.
