GH2 My new GH2 fast pans, things go diagonal

[LosVideo]

When performing a fast pan with the GH2, the footage seems to go diagonal on me and then once I settle the shot, it corrects itself. Almost as if the top portion of the shot is trying to catch up to the bottom.
This doesn't happen when I am following a subject on camera with a fast pan, but more on the instances when I pan quickly to get back into position for a new shot.
Right now it is not a huge deal to me, but I want to make sure I don't have a faulty cam.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I was shooting in daylight, 200 iso, shutter high, mostly around 1000, 1080 24p 24mbps.

Thanks or any help, or opinions.

I'll try to post footage.

Welcome to the world of rolling shutter From the sound of it, I'm pretty sure that's what you're referring too. There are tons of info about that out there. You have to be very careful with quick pans and handheld with dslrs since you can easily ruin shots that way. By the way, one of the advantages of the ETC crop mode is that the rolling shutter is significantly reduced. So it might be worth trying to use that for shots prone to rolling shutter/jitter etc

Thanks Stefanos! I figured that may have been happening. I wanted to make sure that was the case. I thought that maybe the high shutter speed was contributing, but now I know it's just the nature of the beast.
It's still a decent trade off for the quality image you get with this camera.

the sacrifices we make for DOF control.... anyway , the high shutter speed will contribute to the stuttering effect when panning in 24p with high contrast scenes that have overlapping motion, this is another issue of the GH2 that has caused frustration, but different from rolling shutter and not nearly as detrimental. I just finished shooting my first drama short film on the GH2 and I came across first hand all the nuisances. I used almost exclusively the pancake 20mm and a nikkor 50mm. needless to say forget about handheld with the 50mm. but even with the 20mm I got many ruined shots because of the micro jitter. there were some shots where I couldn't use a steadicam and used a simple frame with handles which I thought would have helped with the shakiness cause you're taking your hands off the tiny little body, but the shots were ruined. I can really appreciate the need for a shoulder rig more than ever right now. I've found it much more effective to push outwards with the camera with the neck strap around you're neck if have no alternative, and avoid walking with the camera. This is not really related to the rolling shutter exaclty, it's a side effect sort of thing, worsened by the lack of O.IS. just throwing it out there too since we're talking about motion characteristics.
