Product Information

Hello all,

I’ve gotten a couple emails lately about monitoring with the GH1. In the 25-35 hours of data recorded on REJOUER, something we did probably 6-7 times was to shoot a quick test shot and play back via a HDMI-mini adapter to HDMI to DVI cable, and hook that cable up to a decent DVI PC monitor and we would get a fair understanding of what the 8-bit 4:2:0 YUV is looking like straight from the camera. I would not use this to judge critically, but you definitely get an idea of your ballpark. After a while, you’ll start to learn how the camera will respond- like a film stock. The on-board LCD of VF (plus the histogram both Y and RGB) should give you a good idea of what the shot will look like.

Hope this helps,

I.

BTW, I’ve had really good luck with the products from Monoprice, and the orders usually arrive at my door (in California) the next day with standard shipping- really impressive!
