Hello everyone,

My name is Eric, I live in central Florida and I'm really into videography. I recently bought a Panasonic GH1 from a guy online who said the camera was already preloaded with the hack and it looks great! This things quality of video is just blowing me out of the water so to speak, but I'm not sure that it is recording to its full potential. The serial number is WEOCDOO1O51, and from what I have been reading, is capable of being hacked. The thing is that I'm new to this camera(not new to photography) and I'm not sure if this camera is even hacked yet... when I go into the record quality menu, I can select FHD... but I'm not even sure if this means anything! I also have a "c1" floating over my movie icon in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, not sure if thats the hack or not... as you can probably tell, I have no clue what the heck is going on. I thought that I'd be able to select 720p and 1080p with varying FPS ratio's but I cant find anywhere to do so... Please help me out! I'm trying to read other posts to get a better footing, but all of them sort of start in the middle of the whole equation if you get what I mean... Thanks!
 
also, how do you calculate the video's mbps? I see people posting their mbps and I was just wondering how they know they're actually getting that quality...?
 
The search function is your friend;

There is also a 200+ page thread on the hack...just search for GH13, and start reading. Take your time, and get to know the people, and who does what, etc.
And, no, I don't have a GH1 or 2, yet. Still trying to decide if it's right for me, or go with the TM700. Plus, I don't need to shoot anything til late February, 2011, so I'm just hanging out, and watching others do the testing for me.
