Finally, Live view on recording !

 

[MR Fanny]

i really want to see that 80% slow mo thing and how it works if it increases framerates and keeps res or downresses.

 

[terra1]

yeah the 80% slow motion would be a nice thing to have in-camera, i wonder if you shoot 720p 50/60fps and apply the 80% slow motion, then crank it down in post would you get 160%?
or what FANNY said about how it goes about making it happen.

the fact that the 3D lens only shoots still photos and not video is a bit crap, i never knew that until yest. is 3D just a gimmick or is it actually good? i've heard some people liken it to magic eye pictures, some people get it and some people don't.

live view? is that live view while recording? or live view pre recording? i'm never sure how these guys cleverly word things.

i like the paint job, its that sort of black shinny speckles stuff, i wasn't too keen on the GH1's matt finish, it looked nice but i didn't really like the feel of it... i know that doesn't really matter but hey.

looks cool but time to forget it and make do with my GH1 :smile:

Nothing much said on the audio front.

(Oops, haven't read enough of other threads, sorry!).

And its much questioned ability as a still picture camera:undecided in comparisson to its competitors.

Men, there was so much mud on that video. The complainers are going to have much to talk about!

Yeah, definately a mud-fest on the classic field of flowers pan at :30. GH13 can do better than that!

 

[Adventsam]

could be youtube compression?

need the original, bit early to jump to conclusions.

 

[MR Fanny]

that pan at 1:48 looked really odd to me. is it just me?

 

[Adventsam]

Yes, in 1080p I saw it

Yes, in 1080p I saw it

In other sizes didnt notice it

try wathcing it in 480p on 15.6 inch laptop at 10ft, it looks great.rogar-Thinking(DBG

Guys, remember the video is recompressed by youtube. You can't say if the original video file had that mud.

 

[The Stevesy]

Why do people wanna hate anyways? I mean eventually we can just fix all those problems with a GH23 hack, right?

maybe it is just me then...ha. i can't put my finger on it but it just looks odd. everything else looks great though.

+1 on that pan at 1:48 looking really weird - had to watch it several times and still can't put my finger on what's going on. It's like the fine horizontal striations of the rocks and the foliage are somehow blending together.
