The DMC-GH3 is capable of real-time image output on the external monitor via an optional HDMI mini cable simultaneously while recording video. It is suitable for the professional video making that requires serious monitoring of the imageries. You can choose to output only the recording content or the content with the setting menus individually depending on a display.

@mpgxsvcd I wonder if it can output 24p and 60p via hdmi.

Important note about taking stills during videos.

*2 Not available at 60p (NTSC) / 50p (PAL) in AVCHD / MOV, 60i (NTSC) / 50i (PAL) in AVCHD, or 40 % / 48% slow-motion setting.

The Multi Exposure function lets you take up to four exposures in a single frame. You can layer subjects that wouldn't ordinarily appear in the same frame for an artistic effect, or make one subject appear two or three times in the same frame.

This is going to be really cool for Astro Photography.

Plus use > for citations from Panasonic site, ok?

In regards to anamorphic shooting it appears we won't get the highly wanted option to shoot video in 4:3. Too bad...

@mlysbakken +1. That's a great loss of pixels when cropping 4:3 on already cropped 16:9.

:) Good news remains to be seen if I sell the GH2, or take the GH2 and GH3? I'm lost: D I would like your opinion on the topic XD

What would be the reasoning behind the slow motion speeds 40% / 48% / 80% / 160% / 200% / 300%. I am guessing it is derived/determined from clock frequencies readily available in the camera, thoughts? I ask out of curiousity

Still Images: 1/4,000 - 60 and Bulb Motion Images: 1/16,000 - 1/30 (NTSC), 1/16,000 - 1/25 (PAL)

Good bye ND filters for video!

I wonder if it will do 1/16,000 with electronic shutter for stills?

We'll know soon

@mpgxsvcd Why are you saying goodbye to ND filters for video? if you want to record motion blur as a human eye does, wouldn't you always need ND filters to stay around 1/60 shutter?
