@Daspenberg - It looks like your suffering from the usual ugly green spike that the GH2 is unfortunately susceptible to. Simply shifting the offset of the images towards a more magenta hue will remedy that in post. In camera, however, you can use the manual white balance and adjust the hue slightly. Try picking up some color charts for shoots.

@fomalhaut3 Could you show us some screengrabs of the artifacts you got with Nebula 6 ? In a bit of a testing/comparison phase myself at the moment and would be interested to see. Also was this with Original, Soft, or Sharp2 ?

@artiswar, thanks for the reply. I think this is one of the main reasons i'll be getting a gh3, hopefully they fixed this. It is easy to fix in post, but that adds another step to the workflow. There's such a big shift between what you see on the viewfinder before and after you hit record that I can never manually set the color balance correctly while shooting. This also adds time while you're shooting, so sometimes I just can't do it. Anyone have any other workarounds?

@daspenberg I wouldn't hold your breath when it comes to accurate colour rendition. You can always just shoot a few seconds to see how its going to look on the viewfinder, then tweak, reshoot and then delete your test shots. As for adding an extra step to the workflow, I think most of us colour correct our footage anyway so its not actually adding a step as removing the green hue gets absorbed in the normal CC steps. If you don't want to do any colour correction work at all and go straight to editing then fair enough, it just means shooting a lot of test footage at different settings/conditions until you know exactly how the camera is going to perform. The GH2 is no different to any other camera really in this regard. The sudden difference when you press record is because the camera monitors in full range and then records in broadcast range. Turn the histogram on and watch how it changes when you press record.

I was amaized by the look of Nebula so I dared to film a wedding with this setting. The image was quite beautiful (creamy, the colors more pleasant), but I miss a little the sharpness. So I did it again. I work alone, I shoot only with one GH2. For this clip it was lumix 14mm. Enjoy the romanian folklore!...

NEW!!!

bkmcwd Valkyrie 444 TYPE-ZERO2 Candidate1.1

"TYPE-ZERO1" released previously was not good in other than 24p. And, previous TYPE-ZERO2 "Candidates1-5" are sometimes not good in IQ or stability. Therefore, I further improved C1 and made Candidate1.1. setting. Probably in this C1.1, the finest noise in candidates of TYPE-ZERO2 will be reproduced.

While improving, I am going to develop this in my thread so that it may not become the obstacle of Nick. :-)

IntraVenus!! :D

@Stray, thanks for the reply. That is pretty much what I do now, but I wish I didn't. The screenshots @Driftwood has been providing seem to be pretty clear of any green hue's, so I was hoping the apocalypse now settings would help. Yes, my workflow too usually includes grading, but I got plenty of jobs that just want the raw footage and don't know much about color grading.
I've actually never had a hue problem with any other camera.

@mlysbakken, where have you heard that the GH3 still has a gamma shift? That would suck.

Here's a short test with the Contax Carl Zeiss lenses.

Vimeo discription:

This test was done on the GH2 with the brand new Cluster v7 'Apocalypse Now' '444 Sharp' matrix. I am not a professional colorist, but compared to older footage I've colored like the Canis Majoris series, I saw a huge improvement.

@manda Not sure. If you upload the smallest MTS that gives you that problem, one of us could take a look at it and try to see if anything is unusual.

@Jim_Simon , This is what I have been using with Boom..Cheap PNY Pro Elite, Class 10, 32 gig, 35mb/s.... Take a look at Boom, Drewnet is different but equally not a problems with the same card.

@LPowell... LOL... Just visited your thread. The fact that you are trying to convince people that FM is the it thing over AN and posting comparisons is quite entertaining! No, scratch that, it shows little to zero class. Even if your patch is superior, I'm gonna stick with AN on the principle that you can't stand others taking attention from you.

@Driftwood... Great work!

Lol, this morning i was really in a tabloid or soap opera mood, instead i made my luck here :) these issues have long been settled dusty or at least been forgotten, no need to dig up old stuff :) Please stay on topic only, i think we will need the space for great things to come, i have an intra venus itching all over :)
