Launch PTool and load the firmware for either GF1 v1.22 or G2 v1.1. To use, unzip the INI file into the same folder as the PTool application. These zipped INI files can be used to apply complete patch settings to firmware loaded into PTool 3.56d. VGA mode: 1920x720 videos optimized for 2X anamorphic adapters, with peak bitrates up to around 50Mbps.įast Action 3-Frame GOP Patch Settings Files: HD mode: 1920x810 videos optimized for 1.33X anamorphic adapters, with peak bitrates up to around 60Mbps. * For use with anamorphic lenses, the anamorphic patch supports two different squeeze ratios: VGA mode: 960x720 iPad-compatible videos, with peak bitrates up to 30Mbps.

HD mode: 1280x720 HD videos with peak bitrates up to around 60Mbps (in 4:2:2 color on the GF1). * For use with standard lenses, the standard patch will produce two types of MJPEG videos: This patch also enables Manual-exposure video modes, third party batteries, and eliminates 30-minute recording limits in AVCHD modes.įor version 2 of the Fast Action 3-Frame GOP Patch, I've prepared a choice of two INI settings files that differ only in the settings for the MJPEG 30p modes: In addition, all GF1 and G2 cameras may now be freely switched between NTSC and PAL video modes, and all available user interface languages.

(This 3-frame GOP is used in PAL AVCHD SH mode as well, recording at 720p25.) Using such a high density of key frames enables the Fast Action 3-Frame GOP Patch to maintain excellent image quality while tracking rapid moving objects. This patch boosts the peak bitrate of both video modes to over 50Mbps and in SH mode uses a remarkably short 3-frame GOP-size, recording 10 key frames per second.

The NTSC version of these cameras produces native 720p30 video streams in both AVCHD SH mode and in MJPEG HD mode. The Fast Action 3-Frame GOP Patch is ideally suited for the GF1 and G2 cameras' hardware capabilities. To make use of these new features, download the latest version of PTool from the following link: In addition, it provides a variety of new patches that I've been able to incorporate into the Fast Action 3-Frame GOP Patch, making it more versatile than ever. UPDATED to Version 2! INI files for the latest version of PTool ready for downloadĪs you may have heard, the latest version of PTool 3.56d and higher have liberated all previously unhackable versions of not only the GH1, but the GF1 and G2 cameras as well.
