Doesn't seems to make any difference, my GH1 with kit lens behaves like Tarek's with or without this option turned on.

I know someone else mentioned that you have to have the focus dial set at "M" (manual) for slow shutter to work.
I think a lot of posters here are not getting it...it's not a "trick"...it's just using the exposure dial to crank up the gain to iso3200...regardless of what lenses you mount. It just displays 1/4 to throw people for a loop when using manual lenses...but you ain't gettin' that camera below 1/30th.
It just looks better when using manual lenses because the kit lens is horribly slow, so anything not in bright light will be underexposed...causing noise/streaks.
I've shot several weddings with the GH1 now. It wasn't "burn-in" that got rid of the streaks...it was the 20mm f1.7 and Olympus Zuiko OM 50mm f1.8.
rogar-Happy(DBG): Now I don't have to crank up the gain past iso1600 with the exposure comp wheel like this post suggests...the 20mm f1.7 exposes in auto-iso brighter than real life, actually. It's awesome. For narrow DOF detail shots I just put on the 50mm OM. But I can shoot an entire reception with just the 20mm...it blows away any video camera I've ever used in low light...except for the crappy codec.Hi,
I have read this thread with great interest, but like some others, it does not work with my GH1, PAL version, Firmware 1.2.
I have the Kit lens and I have the 20 mm 1.7 Pancake.
With both the same.
I can do it in SH, with the video camera mode set om manual and the manual focus on, and I can get down to 1/2 of a second with the motion blur. No problem with that.
When I go on FHD with the video camera mode on S I can turn the dial left to 30, than press it and the exposure goes up to +3. After that, nothing more.
If I press again, then I am again changing the shutter speed.
I have checked that with the manual setting of the video camera mode, and when I have an open apperture and the 30 as shutter speed, it shows the same brightness as before.
So the "enhanced" version is not brighter at all. Exactly the same.
What do I have to do to bring it to work?
Thanks for any advice.

OK, I have tested a little and it works.
I thougth, something must happen AFTER you have turned the dial to +3.
But this IS the enhancement.
It is the equivalent to 3200 ISO.
You can enhance the picture, btw, if you set the film mode to "Dynamic".
Even less noise in the picture then.
