Temp FAQ

Slow mo should be 60p shot with a 1/120 shutter.
60p to be converted to 24p later should be shot with a 1/60.
30p to converted to slow mo should be 1/160.
30p to be converted to 24p should be 1/48 (1/50).

You could put "or above" on any of the above speeds knowing that gives you a high speed shutter look, but to emulate film look most of the time you want your shutter to be double your frame rate. For stuff you are going to attempt to convert to 24p you double for 24p (the exception is don't go below 1/60 in 60p). For stuff you are going to convert to slow mo you double the actual rate you are shooting, because the film camera would also be shooting at this rate if you were overcranking for slow mow and a 180º shutter would be 1/60 on 30fps and 120th on 60fps.
 
Ahh! ok. Thanks guys. I can't wait to get home and shoot some real slowmo. :) :) The fake stuff was so unsatisfying.

Now, if it weren't for that SLOOOOOOW Voltaic transcode on my old G5 I'd be golden.
 
Man, if they'd only get uncompressed 4:2:2 1080p24 out the HDMI port I'd buy this camera in an instant. Hook it up to a NanoFlash or Ki Pro and it's golden.

See if you can borrow and HVX or 170 and film your Voltaic transcode at 12fps. When played back at 24ps it should make your Voltaic transcode go twice as fast ;)

That's a really really really really good idea. I'll do one better and use the GH1 and take 1 shot per minute, then it will make the transcode go... ummm Way faster than all you suckers with intel's. Let me try that..... brb





...... oh it WORKS! That's genius! :nads: :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG) Thanks!
 
At some point somebody talked about which ISO levels are the best to use...and now I am having great difficulty finding that, even with search. Anybody got a lead for me? That seems like info that would be good to have here.
 
Thanks alot for putting this FAQ together Jack! Very helpful. Appreciate your machete test as well!

I've got a question. Is it normal that you can slightly turn the stock lens when it properly attached? It moves a little when you turn it clock or anticlock wise.

For example when I zoom in and out and I reach the end points it sometimes rotates just a little. Is that normal?

Or is this just the hvx clunk sound question for the GH1? :D

Probably the most frequently asked question on the forum - yup, that's what it does, don't be concerned.
 
I know this has been mentioned a few places but should probably be added to the FAQ or some sticky that the camera cuts off the last few seconds of recording...as much as 3 whole seconds, when you cut, so always leave some extra post roll. Out and about shooting montages I can't tell you how much this has messed me up when I maybe got the shot I wanted setup, left it for 6 seconds, and then lost 3 seconds of it. I'm now getting used to it though.
 
instructions for GH1 hack

instructions for GH1 hack

where do I find step-by-step instructions for installing the firmware hack? I've tried it a few times now and I cna't get more than 17MB/s from AVCHD.

thanks

where can I download from yhe newest ver. of photofunstudio (my is only 3.2 as camera production date is 07/2009),
thx
 
Apologies if this is answered somewhere else, but I have a new GH1 serial # WE0B with firmware 1.2, so it should be hackable. Do I have to upgrade my firmware from 1.2 to 1.32 before hacking? Or can I hack right from 1.2? How do I revert to 1.2 if I want? What is the recommendations here?

Thanks!

Oh and if anyone is interested, if you act fast HENRY'S in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada has a brand spanking new GH1K (14-140mm kit), Serial # WE0B in stock. ONE ONLY. $999 Canadian. If you hurry you might get it. (http://maps.google.ca/maps/place?um...&hnear=Dartmouth,+NS&cid=13111700980310243745)
