New GH1 firmware... June 22nd.

You can do it without a card reader. Just remember to delete the update files after you have run them or you'll get a prompt to update every time you turn on the camera.
 
thank you but now i tried it,
but the sdhc card (which has been formatted with the gh1) appears on my mac as a "No Name" volume which is "read only" when i hit command-i
so i cannot copy anything on it,
am i stupid or what?

When you hit command-I change the ownership of it to your account, by entering admin password, and change to read/write. Not sure if that will solve your problem or not.
 
No, it doesn't work, i cannot change anything on the info window...
Do someone have a mac and manage to copy files on a sdhc card formatted with the gh1 directly using the gh1 as the card reader?
 
i know what you mean with the lock, it appears on any other folders or volume on my mac, but not on my sdhc card,
and i just checked on a usb flash drive formatted in fat 32 too, and there s no lock either but it says read and write...
 
Try reformatting the card to fat 32 using disk utility. Take any data off it first. The Gh1 should still read it just fine me thinks.
 
i could do that, but on the firmware update page, it is said that the sd card should be formatted by the gh1... don't know what to do...
 
no I skipped the FW update until I resolve my battery problem cause I bought some copies:(

I advise you to spend the 5-9 bucks for a SDHC card reader! Its really not expensive and they are sold all over the place....I have one which is like a USB memory stick only that the memory is a SDHC card. Very comfy and works perfectly with GH! formatted cards on all my macs.
 
thank you, but are you sure i'll be able to copy files on the card with a card reader?
i tried on windows xp (bootcamp on my mac) and i cannot copy either... (always with the gh1 as a card reader)
 
har, har, har, har ... I don't need an update ...

Key question that is :)

The first cheap third party batteries that work around the firmware update will sell very well...

SIDO... is it true??

man I have the exact same problem.
I cannot mount that little biest in read/write mode.
I will have to test that on another computer, but neither Mac OS X nor Windows will mount it as r/w.

hope anyone can help me?
Also mounted that card with my other DSLR and I could access it.
Futhermore I couldn't get read/wirte by mounting the exact same card with my Canon Printer.

It is so f**king strange - I hate it. but maybe that's worth an own thread.
 
Will the English 1.1 firmware update apply to the Japanese hardware and possibly give English menus?

Or is there only one firmware update package and it chooses the right language and NTSC/PAL based on hardware ID?

A bit offtopic - will 1080p video played directly via mini HDMI to my Pioneer Kuro KRP-500AW look good without choppiness? Or would 720p be better due to these 'mud' issues?
