Slo-Mo dissapointment
With much anticipation I loaded the V3 firmware but the sensor is cropped to 46% and 25p is limited to 100fps - not what I was hoping for.

Re: Slo-Mo dissapointment
Ah, so thats why they added 46%, how is the detail, is that holding up?

Re: Slo-Mo dissapointment
Have only done a couple of very quick tests - still a lot more to do.
The detail seems about the same as normal speed with the sensor set to 46% - if you set the sensor to 86% and zoom the lens in to match the framing there is a very noticeable difference in sharpness. Feeling a bit underwhelmed by this new feature - will probably stick to using the GH4 for slo-mo at the moment. |

I have rented a HM200 this weekend for testing.
I agree. The slow mo feature on the HM200 works the same way. It is a little soft and crops the image. |
Re: Slo-Mo dissapointment
Also, the slo-mo recording is limited to the 4:2:0 colour space codec. Better than nothing I guess...

Re: Slo-Mo dissapointment
A couple of other observations,
When you set the camera to Hi-Speed the shutter defaults to 360 degrees - not an ideal setting when trying to capture fast moving subjects. I assume they're trying to compensate for the loss of light that is inherent with hi speed shooting. Even with the shutter set to 180 I'm finding the softness/lack of detail annoying. Pre-record function is not available in conjunction with Hi-Speed - a shame as it can cut out a lot of useless footage. I do like the ability to assign variable gain to the iris wheel - something I hadn't really thought about but I can now see myself using quite a bit for fine tuning. Have set assign switch 9 to toggle between iris & gain, I use to have it set as a record button. |

I've always tried to shoot Hi-speed with 180 or less if light & camera allowed. |
