Driftwood Settings: Series 6 - COMP Apocalypse Now, Cluster v6, GalaXian GX1, Sedna, Canis, etc...
@Sangye thank you! It was really unexpected. The couple is really happy with the video. The most amazing thing is that I ended up proposing myself a few days later. Also under the approving eye of my GH2, bu this time it was planned, and not a sun…

Hi! I hope I'm not too late for the sunset contest. While on Cape Cod last week, I was filming a sunset on the beach, when suddenly two people jumped into my shot. The man kneeled down and proposed. All this in front of my camera. https://vim…

This 55mm micro Nikkor is just amazing! I have one of those and would not trade it for any other macro lens. Great video.

Automated color grading
I would be very curious to see how it does with people in the shot... Purple people?

SDHC / SDXC Card Slot to Compact Flash
The only reason why I would see this interresting would be to place a SSD drive at the end. Why bother with CFs?

Pancake 20mm f1.7 vs SLR Magic 12mm f1.6?
20mm is my 70% go to lens. 12mm would be for very specific situations. Y would recommend to go 14mm 20mm 35mm 50mm for primes

Zoom H4N and GH1/2
@Fearseeker Do as the others says. Use the Sescom splitter and stop both image and audio. Also HDMI does not output sound while recording. Only while playing back.

yes. You will also get a clearer grain, making easier to work on in post.

This is a bug or is normal in my GH2? -Audio and Variable movie mode-
Would the stuttering audio help in any way for audio sync in post? Or is it completely useless?

Wiki discussion
This is a great initiative Vitaliy! Something I was waiting for a long time. Now every time a newcomer asks a simple question, we'll have to change out comment from "no spoon feeding" to "go look at the FAQ".

@AlexManta Make sure you put two under scores __ and not one _ This is the most common issue. Also in pTool make sure you check the version increment box.

Moving with GH2 to USA
Hi, I'm french and moved to NY as well. 1. Your AF101 is switchable in frequency. Look into the menu and find the option (I know in my HPX170 it was something about changing 60hz) 2. Your Gh2 needs to be hacked and switched to US. For now on…

Hacked GH2 card not importable in FCP X
One golden rule: ALWAYS lock your card prior to put it in your mac. Erasing or tempering with the file structure happens so fast. My workflow: 1 - place unlock card in camera (duh) and FORMAT it. (not erase, format completely!) 2 - shoot (duh) 3…

@Vitaliy_Kiselev Get well! Hope it's not too bad, and remember, your health is more important than the hack ;) We can wait a little longer, the hack is already great right now. Thank you for all you are doing.

Which social networking site lets you embed photos that work on Iphones
Or you can keep your embed code with the flash embed on your page plus add a little text link at the bottom for the Occupy flash people.

Topic on Director's Viewfinders
What about a GF-3 and you use either a zoom, or the actual lens you will be using. Small, wide screen, you can even take a picture and show it to your cam operator.
