How to Use the Hacked Panasonic GH2

Brought to you by http://www.cavootle.com

First in a series of videos showing the proper usage of the GH2 and the process of loading modified (hacked) firmware onto the camera and testing those settings. 

The second video shows the process of loading the firmware onto the camera.

Now that 1.1 firmware update is out, and we have some solid settings. We can get to the very best image the camera can offer. While I don't have a magic ball, I don't think we'll have better still camera video performance until we get a hacked GH3. I don't even think the unhacked GH3 will close the gap between the 154mb GOP1 intraframe 24fps codec that this camera offers. Sure other cameras will have better lowlight - but when it comes to a well exposed image under 800ISO the hacked GH2 is king.

This second video shows the process of not only loading the firmware onto the camera, but where to download the patches, firmware, and basic instruction on how to use Ptool to save a modified firmware file.
