2 fps sec racing

Very cool -- this could make for some awesome nighttime city skyline establishing shots.

That was cool. Is there any way to do that effect in post ?

Ahhh the $64,000 question! I have tried various things in the past but never found a "slow shutter speed filter". I have tried time-remap and strobe effects with dissolve overlays but post-effects will not give you the same effect. Thats why this little trick is so cool.
Instant film effects in the can. Of course you cannot undo this look once you do it but now you can shoot and look immediately to see the results. Up until a few years ago I still shot film with my Bolex to achieve the same result. But that takes time & money.
 
was it a hack ?
How did you do the hack ?
What were the camera settings ?
Looked like slow shutter on 12fps
Cheers

Ohhh It goes much deeper than a mere hack.

Take the blue pill and go here... Take the red pill and Barry G. will show you how deep this HVX wormhole really goes...




HVX.. Looks really sweet brother.

Thanks Man!! That was 2 fps 350 degree shutter.
I had been playing in the variable modes with the 1/15
shutter speeds but this is what I was looking for.
I have 3 different car rigging systems on order now.
I have played with timelapse with still cameras but
its hard to get enough frames on a 1 gig card or
you have to have a laptop and my results were nowhere
near as good as 599. In my next life I will only work
on doing timelapse with a 12 megapixel still camera
with unlimited storage!

What the hell are you talking about ?:furious3:
I just want to know how to do it.

Here's the procedure from Barry,
not supported by Panasonic, disclaimer:
If you mess up your cam then don't come back
here a cryin:crybaby:

1) Get a scene file text file on an SD card, usually by going into menu 8, CARD FUNCTIONS, and saving scene files to your SD card.

2) Open the scene file text file in the PRIVATE\MEIGROUP\PAVCN\SBG\P2SD directory, called SCENE1.TXT (or scene2.txt, scene3.txt, or scene4.txt) using a text editor like Windows Notepad

3) Look for the next-to-last item in the scene file. Here's what a sample scene file text file looks like:
00005000: 8 ; DETAIL LEVEL: 0
00005001: 8 ; V DETAIL LEVEL: 0
00005002: 8 ; DETAIL CORING : 0
00005003: 8 ; CHROMA LEVEL: 0
00005004: 8 ; CHROMA PHASE: 0
00005005: 8 ; COLOR TEMP: 0
00005006: 16 ; MASTER PED: 0
00005007: 8 ; A.IRIS LEVEL: 0
00005008: 1 ; NEWS GAMMA: OFF
00005009: 0 ; GAMMA : HD NORM
0000500A: 0 ; KNEE: AUTO
0000500B: 0 ; MATRIX: NORM
0000500C: 1 ; SKIN TONE DTL : OFF
0000500D: 0 ; V DETAIL FREQ : THIN
0000500E: 0 ; OPERATION TYPE: VIDEO CAM
0000500F: 0 ; FRAME RATE: DEFAULT
00005010: BE026801 ; SYNCRO SCAN :

That next-to-last item is:
0000500F: 0 ; FRAME RATE: DEFAULT

You can ignore everything after the semicolon; the semicolon indicates that it's a "comment" and will have no bearing on anything else (so, in this example, the part that says "; FRAME RATE: DEFAULT " is useless, it affects nothing, it's just there for human-readable description).

So the relevant part is:
0000500F: 0

The only thing you would want to change is that last number (in this case, "0"). To get different frame rates, use one of the following numbers:

0 = DEFAULT
1 = 2fps
2 = 3fps
3 =4fps
4 = 6fps
5 = 8fps
6 = 10fps
7 = 12fps
8 = 14fps
9 = 16fps
10 = 18fps
11 = 20fps
12 = 22fps
13 = 23fps
14 = 24fps
16 = 26fps
17 = 27fps
18 = 28fps
19 = 30fps
20 = 32fps
21 = 34fps
22 = 36fps
23 = 38fps
24 = 40fps
25 = 42fps
26 = 44fps
27 = 46fps
28 = 48fps
29 = 50fps
30 = 52fps
32 = 54fps
33 = 56fps
34 = 58fps
35 = 60fps
36+ = repeat of sequence from 50fps to 60fps

So, for example, if you wanted to get a frame rate of 2 FPS, your modified line would look like this:
0000500F: 1 ; FRAME RATE: DEFAULT

And if you wanted 44 fps, it would look like this:
0000500F: 26 ; FRAME RATE: DEFAULT

(don't try higher than 35; I tried 36 and it set it to 50fps, 37 set it to 52, so I think it just repeats 50-60 for all fields set higher than 36)

4) Save your modified text file back onto your SD card

5) Put the SD card back in the camera, go to CARD FUNCTIONS, and read the scene files into the camera.

Now, when you go to the appropriate scene file, you'll see the new frame rate there. But be aware, the only way to assign these "nonstandard" frame rates is through the SD card. If you use the menu to try to change the frame rate, you'll lose it -- it'll immediately jump to 60, and then only allow the normal rates to be selected. You'd have to re-load the scene file from the SD card in order to re-establish your "nonstandard" frame rate.
 
Many thanks,
Surely there is no danger to cam as a correct scene file can always be backed up ?

Barry said if you mess up your camera.......
But yes, after you copy your file to a computer
I would save it as "original"
and put it in another folder.
Then make your mods and save.
 
And How do you set the 350 degree shutter?

And How do you set the 350 degree shutter?

So thats how you force the frame rate to 2fps. And how do you get the 350 degree shutter? 350 degree is not a standard available shutter speed, correct?
