@ahbleza just because i would like the functionality of just doing it in camara, with no screwing on off focusing difficulties etc.... however unless someone tells me otherwise this will be my work around.... thanks for the reply

@edwardm exactly it would be convenient and no colour cast issues etc :) so tell me guys is it possible? also nd filters are expensive especially 77mm ones!!! i would just really benifit from this if it could be achieved ...

Sorry for posting this in the wrong section. As I know that Vitaliy, you have already read this, ill get more to the point. First of all, this is not an idea that I came up with. I'm sharing what Walt shared. So I'm curious if the team (aka Vitaliy) have thought about ETC mode as a possibility to get more resolution from the GH2. Perhaps 2520x1080. As ETC mode takes the RAW 1920x1080 out of the middle of the sensor and dishes that to the encoder, logically it seems that it MIGHT not be AS difficult to extend the amount of the sensor that ETC mode reads and translate that into raw resolution in the encoder. The patch makers seem to have such command of the encoder now, it gives me hope this might be possible.

Mainly just throwing the idea out in case it hadn't been specifically thought of this way before.

I know this is nothing easy or even possible to do. But I would love a feature for makro focus stacking. Press the shutter button once, and the camera moves the focus point from near to far in X steps and takes X pictures in between.

Hi guys i am new to this community. Last week i bought the GH2 with 14/42 mm lens. I am happy with the camera and added a hack to it, and left the hdc-sd800 (panasonic camcorder) aside for now.

I'd like to know if any future implemention of 2k or 4k resolution is possible in the 24p video modus on the GH2. Maybe with a certain lens?

Pictures raise to 4976 x 2800 so maybe a new hack can also do this within the video? Correct me if i am wrong, i just want to know if it is possible. It is all about raising up the quality level on the GH2.

Thanks

(moved topic)

In the near future we get 2k and 4k tv's, high likely also replacements for bluray with a higher capacity disc.

Since the GH2 is hacked and can do 176 mb/s recording, it is near the same bitrate 2k/4k video's use. I was just wondering if any tweak was possible to use a higher resolution than 1080p for this bitrate. Certainly things look even better and sharper, just like the pictures the GH2 can take.

I want to get the best out of the GH2, that's why i feel it's needed ;)

I agree with you that it might be impossible with the current hardware and avchd codec in the camera. But i heard stuff about the AVC Ultra codec. If something like that could be implemented, wouldn't that be great.

Maybe it is just to soon to ask because it is all future related.

Could you please tell me if Hacked/Not hacked GF2s have a MJPEG mode 24/25p or they shoot only 30p in MJPEG?

Last time I checked http://www.camcorderinfo.com was quite bad. Their reviews are usually closely related who are their sponsors :-) As for sharpness - you need proper measure and not a single meaningless number.

Would it be possible for the hack to allow the remote port on the gx1 to be use for microphone input too like with the gh2?

Of course not. It is impossible as it lacks hardware for this.

Thank you Vitaliy for all your job... I think you really understood the needed about manual iso mode for the GF2... As we can't enhance the light with ND filters.., we can't predict the moment during a scene the sensor of light of gf2 will decide to change the iso by himself.... Maybe it woold be easy to find the changing value of hight or low exposure that changes the exposure, lock it then control it or replace it by tactil touch ;) ?

Hi Vitaliy, is it possible to get 24p on the G3?

@v10tdi

It had been requested many times, and I spent quite a time understanding how it works.

Unfortunately we now do not know how some values are passed to lower level code, and we need to know this if we want to change this behaviour.

@magicboyguccino

Of course. Just use PTool.
