Its only available in the std mode, see pg 103-104 of the manual or the icon below the red IA icon above the face.
It offers a pure setting which is very interesting amonst others plus a very wide custom option, 11 steps colour, brightness, saturation! now the downside, you cant lock exposure...
Just a short video at night of a ride at the fair, all GH13 720p50 and 20mm 1.7 Manual Focus incl the initial OOF to inFocus. I am complete amateur, as you can see LOL, comments welcome.

Hi, I dont post many video, mostly they are home stuff but I thought this may be of interest for a few amateurs like myself to show what can be done with just the 20mm with right footage, at night at "the fair". All 720p,50, all MF'd incl. the initial OOF to in-Focus all hand-held, not...
This should make people sit-up and think, by the time you've bolted the evf to your dslr, 7d/d7000 etc the true cost of adding an evf like the new redrock will be near to $1000, the GH2 body is less than that all in. Plus it weighs nearly half of a GH1/2 body.
In any event though nice product...
Just noticed how much less "posterizing" there is too on native 25p! No matter what settings I tried on flat black surfaces it seemed very noticeable in the wrapper, but in native all but gone IMO, cool.
On the downside RS at long focal lengths is worse:undecided but the footage has a real...
Dont know whats going on but I noticed that if I take a video, it times stamps it as xxxx, but then then 2 mins later the next video has the same timestamp? what, in fact some had 3 or 4 similar timestamps!
Also had an isse of a file stopped recording after about 2 mins or so and 1.06gb, guess...
If sharpness is an issue, we are dialling sharpness out, -2, but to smooth and roll-off the corners why wouldnt you turn the NR to +2, will this help to get the smoother less edgy baked-in look people are saying they are seeing with GH1? agreed it may smudge finer detail too and it may be better...
1)My HD af seems super charged in the new 1080-50i setting
2)My camera seems to have zero rolling shutter in 1080-50i setting
Could it be possible the improved bit rates effect these settings too?
Seriously, there is no way mjpeg is now comparing with AVC for many reasons;
30p, hmm, do you want 30p!
massive file size, do you want massive file size
1080p is pushing the bit rate envelope, plus invokes huge overhead
720p, no we want 1080p.
Personally, everything I see in mjpeg am now...
OK, have used the latest tool and it works great, but I want to move to test other settings, I went backwards to a previous version cool, but want to make a new bin, what do I tick now?
Version increment, tick, yes or no and do I put a number (0) in here
Version compare, tick, yes or no
Now...
and the GF1.
But all the lenses seem to of been givena tweak too, the 14-140, wonder if this solves some of the mud? the kit 14-45 and 45-200 now support af in fulL hd, cool.
Out of interest I have just ordered the 45-200, figured an f4 45(90 equiv) at F4 with af, in all modes now(yes) with...
Why oh why cant the output be mjpg 1080p and 24/25p and 720p/30/50/60 selectable, all the issues with the codec would go away? OK the file sizes may be an issue but at least we'd be allowed a little more lattitude with movement!
Panasonic have pulled the gh1 v1.2 s/w initial release and uploaded a new v1.2 for download, allegedly the first release didnt have the battery recognition? Anyway, if you need v1.2(why not) and you need 3rd party batteries(why not/cheaper) go here for the windows download, sorry that the mac...
