Rolling Shutter
 

Someone films with the GH1 in an electronics store. The first pan makes me dizzy. Yet when you pause during the pan and check the still, rolling shutter is not so bad at all! Clearly visible, but who would do such a mad pan in real life anyway?

Sensor readout speed seems to be at least 1/48th of a sec. No Nikon-style wobble.

Downloaded the folder. How do you drop this onto a timeline or play it back. It seems to be a succession of folders, like it's P2 material.

I just dopred the file named 00024.mts (\PRIVATE\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM) and droped it on the DIXV player and it playes fine.

Never mind - used the AVCHD import function in Sony Vegas to check it out.

Footage looks nice, but obviously interlaced, and there does seem to be some vertical banding going on. A little disappointing; but of course it's very early footage.

For now, I am back waiting for the 5D MKII firmware update. Come on, Canon!

Love the night shot @f1.8 !

Yeah, so clean in the shadows. I wonder how controllable the NR will be in video mode?

I’ve posted under some of the YouTube videos to see if the person would be willing to upload an original file for people to download and here's one of them.

I'm going to see how many other people responded to my request.

That's a golden suggestion, Paulo.

This might be of interest also.
