video sample has been posted on vimeo:
Tester13’s Firmware Hack test, before – after comparison from Gunther Machu on Vimeo.
Shot with kitlens at f8, 1/160 shutter, iso 100, manual in creative movie mode at 5300K. For MJPEG, the settings of Pappas (see thread MJPEG 70Mbits+ 1080p settings) were used, for AVCHD the “safe” settings indicated at the end were used (from jobless, see thread AVCHD high bitrate tests, mud free footage).
I tried to keep the pans at the same pace, but thats difficult. What is incredible, the MJPEG clearly shows a better resolution (I used just the 1440x1080p settings as my card is only class6), plus the AVCHD shows no mud and increased resolution (before, on low contrast scenes islands of unsharp areas could be seen), as can be clearly seen in the comparison (e.g. look at the shadow area right to the gardenhouse).

What’s ‘GF1 1080p’ ?!
Can I use the hack for my GF1?
Is this a GH1 hack or a GF1 hack?
The links have other names…
Answering my own question…
Apparently the GH1 hack works on the GF1 !!!!!!!!!
It’s incredible how one single man (with the help of the community) can reposition Panasonics line of m43 cameras as far as video is concearned…
My mistake. Didn’t read well…yes it is the GF1!!!!
possibility about E-P1 ??? 🙂
Just think of that maybe there is a reason for the lower resolution used.
As if the sensor and processor can do it but the sensor get too hot or something such, smaller package, may suck to ruin the camera.
Or maybe it’s just to sell more expensive cameras, who knows..
Waiting for G2 hack!
:)}
I think this is even bigger news than the GH1 patch. Awesome.
Huge news, going out to buy a GF-1…
>As if the sensor and processor can do it but the sensor get too hot or something
Video resolution doesn’t affect sensor temperature.
Great news for m4/3 as a whole. Hopeffully, all other cameras get these kind of updates, not only for video. Maybe someone could hack 1/2000 s E-PL1 shutter speed limit and its 3-stop IS.
Damned VIMEO links aren’t working at all. Totally stuck.
I even heard that because there is less compression going on, the DSP has to work less to compress the data, so there is actually less heat produced – not sure if it is true or not, but remember reading that somewhere on the DVXUser thread. The sensor is capturing the same info no matter what happens downstream, so it is not working “harder”.
…and just to confirm, the hack does support 24p for the GF-1 too?
This is huge. Seriously.
Hello
I havé but a lumix g10
Do you think thaï thés hack CAN worjs on it
Thank you
Hello
What about a lumix g10
Do you think that this hack CAN works on it
Thank you
I am truly delighted to read this blog posts which consists of lots of useful data, thanks for providing these statistics.
I’m not sure exactly why but this site is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back
later and see if the problem still exists.
