GH13 NEED HELP!!! GH13 Crashes in SH mode!'

[Lukas Lehner]

Hello,
for a few dazs now my GH13 crashes (Black Powell 100mbs Max Latitude Hach) every time I switch from FHD to SH. I can still see everything I point the camera at on viewfinder & screen, but I cant record, open any menus, adjust the shutter speed/size, nothing works. I cant even turn the camera off!) The only way to switch off is to take out the battery.
if anyone here has experienced the same, or has some tips on how to fix it please help!
ps: I have reinstalled the firmware several times with no succes.
thanks for your replies.
Lukas

I've honestly never tried shooting 720 with that patch. You know it won't be 60p, right? You'll want to carry a different hack on a SDHC card to switch hacks for slowmo.

I know that doesn't solve your problem exactly, but if you're wanting to try to do 60p with that patch, then maybe I saved you time...

From what I understand, FHD and SH both use the same bitrate that you set in the ptool. That bitrate, which works well in the 24fps FHD mode, is too high bandwidth for the 60p SH mode. I think its been recommended to use the H mode where you can (and should) set a lower bitrate. The default 720p bitrate is 16000000, so you might want to try incrementally increasing bitrate from that point until you hit the shutdown wall.
