Guys!!! Just received my GH3 and i'm panicking! It has a 29 min limit for video! Firmware is v1.1. Have a wedding tomorrow, help!

I believe there is a hack to fix this. The u.s version has no recording limit.

Wedding Videography is a type of film-making, lets not be snobby;).

And yes the 30 min thing is a UK restriction, its a tax thing. If the camera can do more than 30 mins it falls into a higher tax braket as camcorders are taxed higher than still cameras (apparently, seems daft to me).

Sure you can work round this, it tells you how much you have left, when you are getting near 30 mins simply stop/start at a convenient time.

Read post #22. There was no snobbery here. There was however a high potential for another hijack.
