Where is the GF13 at?

[iHartVideo]

I am considering picking up a GF1 to hack and was wondering where its at.
I see all kinds of threads testing settings, but no summary of the current state regarding:

• Manual control of iso, shutter and aperture?
• Playback ability
• Resolution (I am ok with 720p)
• frame rates

What I want to accomplish is:
Manual control,
720p at any standard frame rate (so either mjpeg or avchd),
on-camera play back.
Highest, reliable bit-rates

Is this doable?

You can use manual controls...have playback...720p....ntsc or pal framerates.

So yes do-able

See Lpowells fast low GOP patch...works great on my GF1 ;-)

Thanks for the props, mimirsan, and yes, it's the patch I use on my own GF1:

50Mbps AVCHD Fast Action 3-Frame GOP Patch

Thanks lpowell!

I have (I think) hacked my gf1, however it says the body version is 0.0.

A new question: how do I adjust ISO and Shutter? In movie mode I don't have those options & recording is clearly auto-adjusting ISO.

When you switch the hacked GF1 to Movie Mode with the selector dial, it will still say "P". Next, go into the Movie Menu and highlight the Exposure Mode option. This will allow you to select P, A, S, or M modes. After you do this, save your current settings to one of the Custom slots, and it will activate your selected Exposure Mode whenever you switch to it.

Excellent, thanks again!

Do I know it was successfully hacked if this is available?

version 0.0 means the camera's body firmware has been hacked successfully
