Took some outside shots with GH2 and noticed these things while masking in Premiere Pro. I suppose those are the results of 8bit footage and codec compression?
The GH2 has a tendency to band colors across a subtle gradient. Not sure if it will assist whatever you're masking, but the colors get a bit better as you increase the ISO towards 640. I've shot skies at 160 and there are rainbow-esque color bands. Shoot at 640 and they'll blend a lot better across the nice textured noise.
