Progress continues on the new GH1 custom firmware by Vitaliy K or ‘tester13’ as he’s know in the community. The developer has succeeded in enabling native 24p 1080p recording to the SD card. However the native 24p files cannot be played back on the camera yet. Previously the GH1 recorded 24p 1080p in a 60i stream, which needed pulldown and reverse telecline to get the native 24p stream back out…

Above: Hello ultra detailed image. With the firmware programming tools now available, various GH1 owners have been tinkering with the camera. EOSHD has been keeping a close watch on early developments.
Every wondered how the Sony Alpha series delivers a live view image from a very small sensor in the viewfinder housing without cropping, mimicking the field of view of the main CMOS, while enabling super fast phase detect AF at the same time? (Deep breath). Well, it seems Panasonic did wonder this, and plan to bring such innovations to a range of lenses previously not fully compatible with mirror-less bodies.…
I’ve rounded up some juicy quotes from Panasonic’s broadcast / pro division product manager which you may find interesting. “This camera (the AF100) delivers an uncompressed HD output, if you want to by pass the AVCCAM codec, you may” That’s good news to say the least. This means you can record uncompressed RAW 1080p on Nanoflash via HD-SDI. The biggest gains in HDSLR video is not going to be from…
As mentioned in a recent blog I stopped by DCView’s HQ here in Taiwan last week to share some thoughts on HDSLRs for people new to video. This video interview is about the basics of using HDSLRs but I managed to fit in a bit about the Zacuto Z-Finder! Very pleased with the way it turned out, it’s the first time I’ve done something like this but it wasn’t a…
Amazingly the rumours were right once again, and somebody from NAB leaked the AF100 to 43rumors a day before the press release was due. The implications here are enormous.
(In the pic above, the 14-140mm lens seems to have some kind of adapter on the front of it – what is it?) Here are some to start it off. I’ll be seeking to ask Panasonic and to get some answers! The first interchangeable lens Micro 4/3rds camcorder is due to be released later this year and of course this is great news – so good to see Panasonic making…
