Today is bright and sunny. I tried CPL filter for photo. It brought more color saturation on blue sky and green leaves.
It did block some reflection light and closed the gap between high key and low key. Consequently gave more details in dark areas. It did block some light (1.3 stop???)...

That gave me an idea. Get a water bottle cap. Drill a hole. Install a hotshoe adapter through the cap. That's basically a water bottle mount cap for my GH2. A poor man's image stabilizer. Haha
I will post up a pic tonight.
Mine got really bad in-lens dust... or that's what it seemed until I disassembled it.
It wasn't dust. It might have been a water drop leaked into the lens after a lot of inner lens dirt. The lens has front element sucking the dirt. Light reflection on the rear element made it look like...
my minimalistic run-n-gun style. it's 10 years old compact camera bag. the strap has a connector from blackrapid r-strap. let the camera hang on the strap. carabiner keychain on the side. it's big enough to hold two lenses, a flash, and a filter case. not shown here is a lens case w/ carabiner...
I got a really cheap backdrop kit. It came w/ white, black, and green backdrops. Around $110. But too much wrinkles. How to get rid of them? I don't wanna pay $50 for dry cleaning. Start ironing out by hands?
Click on Codec Settings button to choose specific DNxHD.
Kinda hard to see it. QuickTime Format. Video tab -> Video Codec: Avid DNxHD Codec. Click Codec Settings button.
I really want this feature.
Usually I know Aperture and SS setting. e.g. 2.0 and 50. Then ISO becomes the only variable.
Can the creative manual mode have auto ISO? When it began recording, ISO will be automatically selected and LOCKED. Or AEL button to lock the exposure.
More extreme case. -3 EV. I used Vibrant mode -2, -2, -2, 0. Mine is unhackable GH1. WE0L.

Boosted mid-tone
Little more tweaking
WooHoo... early X-mas treat?
Can someone please please hack the firmware 1.34 for GH1?
I refined emory's setting to the next level. Instead of P, I used S priority and saved into another custom mode. Plugged FD 50mm 1.4.
At EV 0, I set the SS to 60. Used the front wheel to set EV to -2. The LCD increased SS to 250, but it showed 60 in red color when the shutter button was...
I gotta do more testing, but I didn't see the horizontal band from my recently acquired GH2 with WE1C serial. "1C" implies March 2011. 24p, 3200 ISO, 160 SS, -1.5EV looked clean.
Can those with the same serial batch confirm it?
If the issue is gone, I guess those older batch units could be...
