@fathomvfx for sure, should everybody arrasing him for that he gives us the iso and shutter infos

Ive got mine today. Here is my meshtest:

Its positive, but: Dont worry, if you are looking for moire, you will find moire. In any SLR and DSLR. I like the camera very much indeed. Lots of possibilities. Beautiful, sharp stills and amazing video. If you want to be shure to avoid moire, use all lenses but Pana. Just use it, tell stories. If you have a good story, no BMCC will reach your GH3.

@Gysenberg, very nice demonstration. Also, I saw a flash of pink/purple on the mesh at 4 places throughout the replay - e.g. as I go from 00:06 to 00:07. Any idea where does this artifact come from?

I did a fast look to the pdf manual, first things to hack:

enable pal/ntsc change

enable manual WB and manual ISO when using Creative Control image settings (High Dynamic is one of them). The pdf says WB and ISO are just auto under Creative Control image options.

enable i.dynamic lock (it is just auto, same as GH2)

Great to see others with the GH3 now. You can help by demonstrating each of the key features to people.

Creative Control modes enable the WB button for different functions according to the creative mode.

i.resolution only works at LOW mode for movie recording.

@amateur ,

i am not entirely sure but i believe that on GH3 F2.8=F2.8 when it comes to light sensitivity, however, when it comes to shallow DOF i think the guy is right saying that with F2.8 on GH3 (M43) you have the F5.6 equivalent DOF of fullframe.

F2.8 lens on APS-C would have F4.8 DOF equivalent on Full Frame...

Like i said, not entirely sure but what i am sure of is that someone will probably correct me if i am wrong :-)

@Manu4Vendetta the article is nothing but positive and the stills look great. I don't get what you find abysmal? Abysmal compared to what? Having the GH3 for a day now I'd say it's much improved over GH2 but I'm not a great photographer anyway. What are you seeing that I'm missing here?

Hi All. I took some clips at a karate demo that my daughter was in yesterday. I have a few clips using:

1080/60p

1080/24p All I

720/60p All I

But, how do I get them to Vimeo as MOV files so that you can see them? I've tried this, but VIMEO gives me a warning that the BitRate of 72 MBS is 'too high', and the uploads always fail. I've posted many Videos to VIMEO in the past, but, I always encode as MP4 with a Variable Bit Rate with Max 22, Tgt 14 (I find that a good trade off of quality versus playback for people who download the original).

So...are people encoding their raw MOV files and not sending the virgin MOV file to VIMEO or what?

And, as a side question. If in Premiere Pro I import a couple MOV clips, then do some trimming, when I select "Match Sequence Settings" so that I will get the exact same "out" as "in", the file format becomes either MPEG ALL I or AVI, depending on the sequence settings of the in clip. I've never used "Match Sequence Settings" before since the files that come out are HUGE, but...if our intent is to share the actual raw footage from the GH3 internal codec, that's what we want to do, yes?

I know this is probably not the correct thread for this question. And, also...I've posted a link to a photo from the GH3 in the other thread "GH3 user reviews and opinions". Is that where links to video clips should go, or in this thread?

Thanks for any advice. It's not like these clips are great movie making, but...since I'm lucky enough to already have my GH3, I thought I'd try to get the footage out.

Would it be acceptable to use my normal "output workflow" and encode the clips as MP4s with a 2 pass VBR with Max=28 and Tgt=14 and then send that to Vimeo, or...would that defeat the purpose of evaluating the output of the GH3?

It sure fills up a memory card a lot faster than my old hacked GH1... :-)

Any advice appreciated on how to share the clips.

4:2:0 8 bit unfortunately....

Certain lenses give off more moire than others. Believe it or not the 14-42 X Lens is pretty good with dealing with it. As usual wide to narrow zooming will result in occasional moire. Its worse on the 12-35 than the power zoom X lenses. Its no worse than the Gh2 I'm afraid to say.

Do we know at this stage if there is a hack coming and the likely hood of it being 4:2:2 as an option. So far I've read so much and seen a lot of footage from the Black Magic and for the price of $3000 its very competitive to the GH3 especially being 12bit RAW. and 10bit prores right from the word go. (for video anyway). I'm torn between getting the GH3 and putting my faith into Vitaily and driftwood as well as others for all the opportunities they hopefully will give us just like with the GH2, or play it safe and get the BMCC and get a free copy of Resolve.

decisions, decisions.
