Using GH2 as B-roll for AF-100

I first posted this in the GH2 forums but I'm not getting very much help so I'm posting here. I imported the UK version of the GH2 as a B-roll cam for the AF-100 (We're based in California) because I assumed the camera was PAL/NTSC switchable like the AF-100. Well, this does not seem to be the case since 1080i 25 and 720p 50 modes shoot with PAL frame rates.

... BUT in "24p cinema mode" (which I'm assuming is different than the normal 'rec' mode) it appears to be 1080p at 23.976fps... so can someone confirm this is indeed the correct format to be used with the AF-100 1080/24p footage?

If so, I can just strictly use this mode for my b-roll (wouldnt want to use 1080i or 720p anyway). If it's not, I have to return this thinig ASAP. TY!
 
Just wanted to make sure there wasn't something odd going on in the PAL version since I have zero expereince editing PAL footage. So to clearify, the "24p cinema" setting on the PAL and NTSC versions of the GH2 would be identicial?
 
Does the GH2 exhibit aliasing and moire patterning?

If not, could be a great little B cam.
 
Just used GH2 as a car rig cam for AF100 shoot. looked great and worked like a charm.

The gh2 is a diamond in the rough, the more I use it the more I like it.

I had both working this weekend on a BTS job and was so glad to have that GH2. I keep it with me almost all the time. It's a great compliment to the AF100.
 
Hi !
yes i'm very interested too to mix GH2 and AF101 for interview in 25P (i'm in a PAL country) !

So... how convert 24P (23,976) to 25P and match it with the AF101 picture and sound ???

thanks !

Method 1: increase the speed of footage - video and audio
Method 2: transcode - slow, painful and less than perfect. Actually, not recommended.

Hi Mr Danap,
what the speed to increase from 24P (23,976) to 25P ?
104,27 % in Final Cut Pro ?

how edit it in a 25P Time line ?
i need to use a 24P (23,976) sequence and apply a 104,27 % on it to change the speed, export it and reintroduce the export to edit it easily with a new 25P timeline ?

Thanks !

Vincent

PS : if anyone have info about the scene file to match GH2 and AF101 !!!
 
I like the image of the GH2 better than that of the AF100 so I would rather match AF100 image to GH2 image than visa versa. What settings would you guys use to make the AF100 look like the GH2 in "cinema mode"?
