GH1 firmware research volunteers required

Hum you'll tell me once I show them witch is in about 5 mins.
And just by checking them i can tell you that they're pretty much the same.
 
We don't need video, only individual frames. Finer grid.
We need four frames shot for 1080p24, 1080p25 (just extract them)
and 720p50 and 720p60. All must be shot from exact same position.
As for 1080p24 and 1080p25 having same FOV it is good as we have vertical cropping on both and horizontal on 1080p25 (so start sensor position is the same).
We also need to compare 1080p24 and 720p60 FOV and FOV of both 720p rates.
 
OK thanks.
May be it is possible to make them JPG (they are some type of QuickType format?) and upsize 720 ones (to 1920x1080)?
 
And one more thing.
It'll be very good to have TZ5 body for experiments (as it is very cheap at arount 90-130 at ebay). MJPEG settings and MJPEG engine overall seems to be similar.
 
Interesting. Thanks.
Later we must shoot more precise versions with more markings and keeping center stready.
So, in 1080p25 we have slightly different RAW windows and cropping later. It is OK.
But different RAW windows for 720p must have effect.
Or they just sacrifice resolution in 720p mode.
Next time we must shoot good resolution test charts also.
And compare results.

I believe Barry has reso charts up on the web already. don't know what setting he shot it, if it was 720 or 1080.

regarding chart. if you point to exactly to the one you want, i will shoot (NTSC) for you. That way I'm not printing 5 different versions.

Camera is skedded to arrive on Tuesday. I was working today and missed delivery. Apparently fed-ex is closed till Tuesday. Lame.....

He did both but just NTSC. I haven't been following here too closely but wasn't there a thought that the PAL and NTSC versions resolved 720p differently because they used different parts of the sensor?

Do you have enough funds to buy a TZ5?

MISSED THE DELIVERY!!!!!:crybaby::crybaby:

C'mon Car3o you're killin us--work?? screw work, we've got serious code to crack and you're worried about paying bills??!!?

Sheesh- we're all handing you money!! just take a cut, pay your light bill and GET THE CAMERA TO TESTER13!!!!!!:2vrolijk_08::2vrolijk_08::2vrolijk_08:

Just playin-- tuesday it is:Drogar-Happy(DBG):

haha, yeah yeah......I'm off Tues so all is good there. Beside, we're still waiting on that adapter to be delivered, so no biggie. Which is ordered and on the way. As far as funds go. There is still $60.00 in the piggie and no sd card has been ordered yet. I'm looking locally first and then going to discuss whether or not to buy online. i'll keep everyone posted on what's going on.
 
I think to play it safe with all the testings, it's probably best to get a Sandisk Extreme III, class 6 card. B&H has an 8 gig for $45 and although it's slightly cheaper at Amazon, a lot of those cards are coming from 3rd party vendors unless you know which one is reliable.
 
Hey Guys, I'm sorry I'm so late to party, kept seeing the post title but didn't ever check into it, now I see so many pages and feel like something awesome is going on... anyone mind giving me a nutshell answer of what is exactly going on and where it stands?

I gather you're trying to develop an independent firmware update to include some of our wishlist wants for this camera?
 
Another camera of interest is the LX3 since it's MJPEG 720p runs at 24 frames per second although it's a bit more expansive that the TZ5.

I'll have to contribute a little something myself but I'll probably take a few days or more until I get some spare change.
