    @GravitateMediaGroup Those two sly messages gave me lots of hope as well :)

    Seeing them, I went to the "Stalin" thread and read it from start to finish to see how the first GH2 hack came about. Very interesting stuff, but my god - all the "when? when? when?" questions, over and over again. It will come when it comes. We get information when there is information to be had. :)

    Panasonic announces the new firmware update program for the digital interchangeable lens system camera DMC-GH3, the interchangeable lens H-FS45150, H-PS14042 and H-PS45175 of LUMIX G Micro System. The firmware will be released to enhance the performance and usability in its control.

    Firmware update service is scheduled in late March of 2013.

    Improvements:

    • Connecting to PC via Wi-Fi by inputting the computer name (the NetBIOS name for Apple Mac computers) is enabled.
    • “1920 x 1080, 60p, 28Mbps” mode is added in the video recording option of [MP4] .
    • Speed of AF, consecutive shooting performance of AFC is enhanced in use with H-PS14042 and H-PS45175. And more.

    There's a menu option on the GH3 which displays the OpenSSL license and a Khronos Group license. So they're using OpenSSL and OpenGL in the firmware. What the hell do they need OpenSSL for on a camera? To implement HDCP encryption? Or is OpenSSL used to encrypt the firmware? Was the OpenSSL attribution already included on the GH2 menu or is that new? Hopefully they haven't used stronger encryption for the firmware.

    The CPU on the camera, is that an ARM SoC?

  • larsaruslarsarus

    With WIFI-support I can see many uses for OpenSSL.

    @Vitaly_Kislev do we need more money to get you a body?

    @kellar42, check posts two pages before current.

  • kellar42kellar42

    @Vitaliy_Kiselev, got it, thanks! Exciting times!

    The Internet interest in a GH3 hack got a significant bump now with the firmware announcement, and I have the numbers to prove it :)

    My joke video was getting 5-15 plays a day for a long while (after it fell down from the initial high counts and google put it on the first page when you search gh3 hack), and the high points were on the weekends. For the last 4-5 days however the numbers are now in the 20-30 range, with highest counts monday and tuesday.

    @Vitaly In your site statistics, you probably find "GH3 hack" as one of the most searched terms. And yet, there is no proper thread for this. I know that there is no hack yet, and that we "should not be worried about it", but is it rude of me to ask to open an new Discussion, with the basic info on where we stand now, and what are the obstacles?

    PS: If the reason for this secrecy is that Panasonic people are reading here and you dont want to give them any information on this, then dont reply to this at all, I understand then. :)

  • paralionparalion

    got it.

    Hi Vitaliy, as a pro user of the GH3 I have to say I really appreciate your efforts, well done. And one suggestion I would like to make for the upcoming GH3 hack is this - to put some manual controls into the excellent but flawed High Dynamic mode. It's currently useless as a professional tool due to the wandering shutter speed, meaning it's impossible to get rid of light flicker. Simply being able to set shutter speed to a specific value like 100 would be a HUGE improvement.

    Other than that I think you have everything covered, like focus peaking, PAL/NTSC switching, more frame/bit rates, etc.

    Great work, keep it up. I'm sure you've raised enough for R&D by now, so if and when you release a usable hack I'll make a $100 gratitude donation.

    Cheers.

  • JOFOJOFO

    You are here too short to know that pushing VK don't have positive effect on posting updates :) He said that after NAB we'll get some status update, so be patient.

  • ThunderBTTThunderBTT

    Forgive me oh mighty great one JOFO, 'What you mean exactly? GH3?' gave me the impression he had something to disclose to us all :)

  • Sph1nxsterSph1nxster

    Patience........ the vast majority of us here can only begin to scratch the surface of complexity involved in a hack.
