GH2 official discussion thread

Ok, another Version yet with a little movement. But please download the originalfile.

Looking great regarding resolution, but why are the blacks so noisy? Is that ISO 160?

 

[pilpop]

I dont know, yes, iso 160. NR 0.

Used the GH2 on a shoot today. Hit record at 24P HD and it stopped at 17 minutes 20 seconds. Do the math...!

Thank you.

Max 29 min 59 sec. in PAL version. Confirmed here.

 

[Daniel Krnac]

Thank you.
I could not find anything at our local Panasonic page so I wanted to be shure.

I asked panasonic Switzerland today, if they sell the body only. Guess what? They did say no. Due to low request. Wrote them back, that this is no wonder by crippling 25p.

i made this just for fun.
no real testing or quality check intended !
for more fun - watch with lights off, and use headphones if you can

 

[pilpop]

Haha, cool.

TOUCH-AF on the GH2 - yes it can be done.

Hi all, hi pilpop - just seen your name there and still love your video of the cinema projector!!

Just found out how to do touch-AF on the GH2 during video, so it stays locked where you put it. If you don't already know how to do this (and there seems to be a rumour that you can't, but that's untrue) see the proof here: http://vimeo.com/17878422

No, not touch to focus was never the problem.
AF-Tracking it the one, that is not functioning..
And this is not a rumor but confirmed by Panasonic Japan.
All the other Auto Focus version possibilities, like Touch AF, Follow AF, Face detect etc work fine, also in video mode.

NEX-VG10 actually is cheaper than GH2 14-42 and 20mm pancake.

Cute little girls. Might want to look into Neat Video or Laser Hair Removal to clean up that beard.

What exactly is the difference between follow AF and tracking AF? Sounds like the same thing.
