How To Hack Panasonic GH1 to Shoot Super High-Quality 24p Video and More
Canon isn’t the only game in town when it comes to hacking camera firmware. The famous CHDK firmware hacks now have a rival, at least if you are shooting with a Panasonic GH1, and especially if you are using the Micro Four Thirds camera to shoot video. The hack, called PTool, doesn’t add nearly as […]
The hack, called PTool, doesn’t add nearly as many features as the Canon hacks, but what it does is startling. With PTool, you can up the video bitrate of the GH1 from a pedestrian 20Mbit to 32MBit in AVCHD. If you opt for Motion JPEG (MJPEG), you can shoot at an astonishing 50 Mbit/sec at a full 1080p. This, according to testers, offers better quality footage than you get from the EOS 5D MkII. Above you can see an example. To view it in its full HD glory, click through to the Vimeo page

Rob Galbraith DPI: Mac OS X 10.6.5 improves Aperture processing, extends RAW format support
the newspaper industry is in crisis, and it’s unrealistic to expect that a staff photographer job is out there waiting for you — even if you’ve got the world’s best portfolio. Goals have changed – you have to take care of yourself.

People graduating today find themselves swimming in a vast pool of freelancers, and a good photo education is one that teaches photographers a lot more than how to shoot pictures.
