In my opinion the menus and how to activate some features should be revised. In fact, all the logic of operation of the camera leaves much to be desired.

For example, the "menu / set" sometimes functions as a "yes" and an "advance" on the menu, while other times it makes you exit the menu.

Another thing that seems illogical (or at least I still have not found a way to do work differently) is that some options that work as "on / off", pressing the button that corresponds to the function, rather than the button function as "on / off" gives you access to a menu from which to choose.

For example, if you assign an extra TV mode button, pressing this button instead to enable or disable the extra TV, he opens a menu from which to choose. So what could be done in a movement must do in 2 or 3 moves.

I also think the menus are all mixed up and does not provide all the necessary information.

For example, anyone who does not know the camera does not have a clue what it means iA, or how the IR works, and it's hard to know what is being done when the film quality option is "sh", "h" instead of directly (or side of the screen) show the mps of each option.

In addition to what we see While the letter may be a little big, maybe a font size option would be nice.

Finally, a feature that even I could not find (and not wonder) is that a button can be configured to automatically focus the camera when squeezed, while working with manual focus.

I read through the GH2 improvements list and somewhat confused by "aspect ratio" entry in "AVCHD/Sensor" sub-list. Does it refer to the onscreen crop marks or to actually cropping the footage as it is recorded?
Thanks.

can we add 1/48 shutter or is this impossible?

1/48 shutter would be sweet.

Hi,
@Vitally, please like Gizmo I would like enabling USB Out Composite during record. Is it possible ?
Thanks :-)

dts: "can we add 1/48 shutter?"
KrisCanonizado: "1/48 shutter would be sweet."

The GH2 shutter already has a 1/50 second setting. If you can tell the difference between this and 1/48, you may want to consider decaf.

>Vittaly, please can you write a clear answer : Is it possible to activate A/V Composite during record ?

I don't know. Most probably not.
Any reason why you need this? HDMI works, so buy HDMI monitor.

@flash
How about small camera that will be shooting GH2 LCD screen?
Chinese are selling bunch of them with RCA out and wires to power it.

If you could have a look it would be very cool

@flash - what about GoPro Hero HD? Not quite GH2 picture quality, but I believe it does have composite out - and cheaper if something goes wrong. Skeleton case should allow wire connections (including 5v mini USB power if flight is longer than couple of hours).

Just an idea.

Yes Gopro is bad quality ;) And the wireless HDMI transmitters have big latency...
Thank you very much Vittaly for answers :-)

do you think 4:4:4 mjpeg would be possible?

I'm very interested to see what the sensor mode is for HDMI :)

There is a colour space shift which causes gamma to change in that mode, and of course it is interlaced which is bad for the Ninja. If we can change HDMI sensor mode, it would really help. The gamma change alone is very distracting when gong from live view to record, and it is live view where the exposure is done.
