@kanintesova Japanese traffic keeps to the left of the road. In this way the spoked wheels of early cars would synchronise with the electrical cycle, eliminating the distracting illusion of rotating backwards when filmed with early video cameras ;-)

It's finally back on panasonic available for d/l

Has anybody tested the 25p mode HDMI output format? Is it a clean 50i or does it have added fields?

Anybody with an external recorder?

Can we make the old v1.1 patch available for everybody?

Meaning? Limit only work for Europian cameras. Not for all PAL cameras.

Just to be clear. Firmware available on site is exactle the same as initially released.

@alexpj19

Banding is not software issue. It is some hardware stuff. Most probably it is sensor only thing.

Open source is a good idea for the magic lantern project as it runs it's own code on top of the firmware, much less of a chance for people to brick their camera while fiddling with the code themselves and trying it out.

With the actual firmware? I would forsee bricked cameras left and right, not only from people modifying firmware, perhaps finding something works, modifying a little more a little more then bricking. Someone releasing a firmware binary online from their own tinkering (whether intentional or unintentional) for people to try out.. lots of bricked cameras.

You don't want unsafe binaries floating around..

If anything to be open at all, perhaps some abstracted functions ('safe' ones only) can be opened within PTool in experimental section (instead of just variables) where people can/change code which can be compiled into the firmware, where the worst damage that can happen is garbage output to the card and screen etc. Then people could perhaps even add their own functions such as writing new menu items or some other kind of processing.

With those, you could at least see the code someone else is providing, plus if you can only access functions in a safe way (only functions that are named by PTool etc), then you can still be sure of a particular hack not going to brick your camera (rather than a firmware binary that may brick your camera that you cannot trust).

@duartix

How about read topic first?

On main settings level they are combined with 24H. And on encoder level they are treated as old 50i and 60i (with only slight adjustments) :-)

@Vitaliy

""Vitaliy_Kiselev December 2011 Do not worry. I'll be porting first patches this weekend :-) ""

What about this promises mon cher ami Vitaliy? -)

how long will it take to rewrite the rest approximatly?

Jesus people- let him work on it. Unlike some around here, he might have a life outside of the Panasonic GH2. If you want it faster, write your own code.
