Probably just to put them on equal ground – the REDs are 320 under Tungsten for example.

Since you can't really change sensitivity of the chip, you are just adding gain and loosing some highlight latitude.

@jakepowell Very soon. :-)

@jakepowell i am waiting for it since may ,...i hope it will be the best,.. planning for all 3 patches in one day shoot,.. am pm and night,,... short film name yet to fix,.. one day or day and night or date or 24 and so on,... still discussing with my team. will start once its released. cheers for you mate.

@rajamalik sounds really cool, be sure to let us know after its out and you have created it so we can view :) also your shoot tomorrow sounds right up my street, hope its good and post up here :) cheers

@rajamalik Good luck with the shoot. My only advice is that you may want to consider a polarizer for the shoot if you are not already using one. The sun glare off the beach and water can make the dynamic range a little tricky, but in terms of the camera setup, it sounds like you are pretty set - just make sure you have the NDs you will need to keep the shutter speed close to 180 degrees and enjoy.

As you already know, you may want to WB differently for CM Day PM than for CM Night, but it should do a much better job with haze over the ocean and the blue in general.

Day AM is a much flatter matrix on the i frames. Rate Control is also controlled. I hope to be able to release this shortly - just finalising tests from a few weeks ago where I left off.

@thepalalias thank you so much fnd....but, this is a bit confusing hmm let me explain. are you saying that the noise from sensor would lean towards yellow and green in CM night and will shift its phase to blue and purple in CM dayPM?? if the iso is between 160 - 800 are u sure it does where the noise is not even present??? i patched with CM dayPM going to use it only in the afternoon & in evening sunlight. roughly 1pm to 5pm i wont keep iso over 200 for sure.ok i have a idea...let me know after i upload the video.i will try to upload the raw one out of the cam with the graded one for few shots examine and tell me if i need to concentrate on wb variations.

@driftwood good news sir, wish you a very good luck! cheers!!...

First post, been getting up to speed for the last month or two. Haven't even heard of a GH2 a few months ago. All the wonderful vids and insight has helped tremendously. Did a lot of testing with some of these patches, mainly the high bitrate ones, with some great results! And I tried to throw the cam a lot of different situations to see how it holds up. The vid below has settings of 320 iso, smooth -2,-2,-2,-2 with Canis Day PM. I also used Olympus 35-100mm f2 and the Noktor Magic 12mm.

@DeshonDixon - loved your vid! Watched it 5 times in a row the first time I came across it. I lived in Santa Monica since '98 and worked in one of Cucoloris' offices on Market Street back in the day when 72 Market St was still in existence. Your vid was shot a block away. It brought back lots of memories. Great work!

I really love this cam and I own an EX3, but it's a bit of a hassle putting on different lenses and wouldn't even attempt hiking 6 miles a day with all the equipment. Many thanks to you Mr. Driftwood and Vitaliy and to all the testers!

@G_Kudanovych Haha thanks man glad I could bring back old memories for you! Nice footage you shot with the GH2 and Canis Day PM!

Had my first bash with CM Night yesterday, and I'm definitely smitten. One thing with the GH2 that is bugging me is that there looks like you can see flickering refresh lines in the shadows of low light and high iso. Is this an issue that everyone has seen? Am I just being paranoid? Is it my GH2?

@driftwood Do canis majoris night has more details than canis majoris dayPM???

Raj Both similar but different luma/chroma values mean brighter / tighter grain. Night is brighter.

@rajamalik Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. I tend to only shoot on 50 with shutter since it looks the best, but I'll mess around and see what the results come up as. @Driftwood is right, Night is much brighter, and you can play with the dynamic range a little to get details out of shadows, it's a wonderful patch Mr @Driftwood, thank you for your endless efforts. I loaded up Sedna AQ1 A and had a bash with that and CM Night seems to reveal more details, even though Sedna is the best all-rounder. Sedna is great (just bare with me here) in the sense that it actually has an atmosphere about it, like actual film and the filmic grain of the GH2 just pushes that up a few notches too. I have yet to try the cluster patches, but when I was looking at some old Mysteron footage I shot back when Sir @Driftwood released the pacth, I was surprised at the brilliance in it. Still one of my favourites, also has that atmoshpere quality I was describing with Sedna. But here's another question regarding the flicker I've experienced in low light - Does the fact that I'm shooting teleEX mode have anything to do with it? Does teleEX mode create more noise as a result of using a smaller area of the sensor?
