MIRRORLESS: GH2 and Flowmotion in 2026

[kcomedy]

Hi, I purchased a GH2 to film my stand-up gigs and it does a great job, plus it’s cheap enough that I don’t mind leaving it unattended.

I’d really like to try one of the firmware hacks but I can’t find the v1.1 firmware (v1.2 doesn’t work as Ptool considers it already hacked). Does anyone know if Panasonic hosts older firmware?

Plus the personal view website has been in maintenance mode for a while So it’s not going smoothly so far!

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Your best bet is to just keep searching forums like this and even maybe reaching out to random individuals from Vimeo/YT, etc.

Sometimes people would buy different camera bodies with FW if you couldn't roll back to an earlier version (or the camera company blocked any type of hacks/modifications).

It's been so long, don't remember anything, but that was a special time!

According to this (av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/download/fts/dl/gh2.html) on Panasonic's update page, there is only one difference between v1.1 and v1.2 of the GH2's firmware: v1.2 has better compatibility with batteries. You can't get v1.2 to load in your camera? What firmware version does your camera have?
