GH2 Newbie resource?

F

Foggy

Hi folks,

I am just setting out in the world of film making and have recently got a GH2.I am trying to read everything I can on it but can't seem to find one definitive resource on it that offers a beginners guide to starting out with it.I know personal view has a lot of the hacking stuff but its not the most user friendly of sites.

I want to hack the camera but I know you need cards of a certain memory for certain patches and finding this sort of information when the whole hacking scene seems to move so quickly is proving difficult.

Cheers,

Luke.

EDIT:Just found this which is extremely helpful...http://osgfilms.com/category/filmmaking/the-panasonic-gh2/

take a breath.

You don't need the hack if your just starting out..

All the menus and what not work the same after the hack so its good to be very familiar with the cam before you hack.

So take your cam and go shoot some footage!

Hacking is interesting, but its a "winter" type thing.. right now, its the beginning of summer shooting season! production time!

when your stuck indoors with nothing to film, then sit back and hack.. test in your living room etc.

That said there is one VITAL thing. USE ONLY A FULLY CHARGED STOCK BATTERY DURING THE FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCESS. Using a wall cord or after market battery is sighted in the few HACK camera bricking episodes.
