Inazuma Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 So I just tried the "hack" with the two G80's I recently received (from a UK seller). I couldn't get unlimited recording working on either of them sadly. Thanks for the tip about pressing the DISP button though. The video I saw didn't mention it and I was left unable to restore the original recording framerates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hi, Also bought my G80 from UK and still not find solution for the 30 mn time limit. To restore initial settings, you have to use the right button. You can see this service manual who explain all (same as gx80), page 20 : http://www.panasonic.com/content/dam/pim/au/en/DM/DMC-GX/DMC-GX85GN/LUMIX GX85 Operation Manual.pdf The click on this link strangly doesn't work, so you have to copy and paste it directly in your web browser.

Serafí Lliteres ? Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 No solution here for the 30 minutes limit. Seems there's no way for the moment to unlock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
your real name Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 On 7/23/2017 at 11:13 AM, jonpais said: Thanks, Grimor. The screen grab above is from the BMD Video Assist, 1080p, ProRes 4:2:2. I shot at ISO 400, SOOC. I was shooting with the Olympus 75mm f/1.8. Below is a comparison between the 4K from the G85 (top) and the 1080p file from the Video Assist (bottom). Again, ISO 400, SOOC. Incidentally, I just made a split screen clip of the two files below on a 1080p timeline, exported it and uploaded it to YouTube. YT compression just kills 1080p, so if you're planning on using a video sharing website, I'd go with 4K. Edit: I send 4K to the Video Assist. Sorry, I didn't understand the question at first. This shows the problem of the BMVA (and the 4k version) which do not have master level settings. Set the camera to 16-255 and there shouldn't be a difference.

TurboRat Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I'm also curious about this. I still have my G80 even though I use GH5, GH5s, A6500 in paid shoots. I really like it, it's small and so versatile. I also envy friends and family who bring their lightweight g80 to trips and can just store it anywhere lol IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimor Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 In the quest to find vlog or any other high bit rate modes, i send thousand of html request to my camera. (Thanks BTM lord, you show us the way to your holy light) Only 2 weird hidden formats appeared with corrupts .mov file sistem and when we could recover the files, they were no high bitrates at the end. So no succes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's got the latest version of the firmware then see if you can find an older version and try and install that, then install the latest one over the top of it so you're back to the latest features. Often firmware upgrades can be triggered via having a file on the SD card and holding down a button on startup, so may not require the menus to work, see if you can get lucky with it. Otherwise, trying to get around the recording limit essentially voids the warranty, so if it's bricked, then it's bricked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flapman Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Sorry for pulling up this old topic, but I registered here just to say a big THANK YOU for this thread, specially to the user Grimor. I stumbled upon a Youtube video how to hack the recording time limitation but of course it didn't work out for my G81 (80/85) as well and I was very unhappy with the exclamation mark. This topic here seems to be the only source on the whole WWW for solving this problem. So, once again: thank you so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
