First published Panasonic GH2 Hack

Vitaliy Kiselev, the hacker has the GH1, the first "P-tool" released Hack for GH2. The menu for end users selected had the following improvements are: free choice of interface languages, eliminating the (artificial restriction on the PAL version because of European customs regulations) of the recording time to 30 minutes, free choice of PAL (720p50 / 1080p25) and NTSC (720p60 / 1080p24) recording formats and the change of settings for MJPEG recording (size, compression quality), AVCHD (compression bitrate, fps, GOP length) and audio (AC3 encoding bitrate, microphone level indicators and AGC settings). There is the possibility in AVCHD 1080p50 and 1080p60 to compress, but then the camera seems to hang at startup - Vitaliy but points out that more tests are needed here - there is hope these modes to get started. The (even more experimental) choice for potential tester offers as options go even further, setting the AVCHD compression with respect to the bit rate and encoding settings. Attention when testing: the better compression levels (E1-better better than E2 and E3, etc.) use, or the direct setting possibility of higher bit successful, you need due to the high data rates, a fast SDHC card How's It requires www.mediafire.com/file/cwok7orwdegp2pg/GH2_V10E.zip one (unofficial firmware GH2) as a base to then use the P Tools to load that crosses "Increment version" and then decides what to tick the settings for end users and testers, in order to apply them (they are nicely explained by each pop-up) and enters numerical values ​​(with bit) . To apply the hack saves you the now patched firmware in an extra directory, copy it then launches into the main directory of SD card his GH2 new (with full battery) while pressing the Playback button to confirm and then looks to when loading the new firmware. Then you go for testing! Many questions and answers and the results of initial tests are found in discussion thread to hack - the explanations are very useful to Vitalys the various options that pop up a pop-up in the P tools. Caution! Some of these patches are still in the early experimental stage and are likely to initially wagemustigsten only from the GH2-owners are trying to damage then risk their cam the hacks and report on success, Vitaliy that can improve the hacks and then also other users can benefit from improvements to testing. So, get the second GH2s! (And as always, Vitaliy pleased with the support of his work by Pay-Pal donation. Thanks to Neel for the news report and to Angry_C for the description of the patch process!)  more infos at bei www.personal-view.com deutsche Version dieser Seite: Erster Panasonic GH2 Hack veröffentlicht!
