For those of you who want to hack your GH1, but are a little worried about "bricking" your unit, I have put together this step by step video to help take the stress out of the process.

I have also come up with my own custom settings that I think offer the best quality and reliability for the independent filmmaker.

Pixelphile NTSC Indy Filmmaker Settings
Based on settings from LPowell & Vitaliy
Native 24p AVCHD 1920x1080 for Film Look
AVCHD 1280x720 60 fps for Slow Motion
YCC 4:2:2 MJPEG 1280x720 for Green Screen
Third Party Battery Support
Class 10 SD (SanDisk Extreme 30MB/s Recommended)
Manual Focus Lenses Recommended

You can download my "F" settings and GH1 firmware patch below:

Just bought a gh1, only opened it a few hours ago. When in FHD mode it automatically sets 25fps, how do I change to 24fps? Thanks
