[News] Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1

[ageha]

I remember so. It's on the silent (electronic shutter) mode and happens at fast shutter speeds, faster than 1/50s. So if get it, change back to mechanical shutter, will be gone.

Same for the GH4?

Same for the GH4?

Something I read about it:

Fredrik Glckner:

I have measured the readout speed of the GM1 electronic shutter. It is approx 1/25s, i.e., 2.5 times faster than that of the GH3, G5, and G6. This makes the electronic shutter a lot more useful.

See the test here:

Also, the mechanical shutter appears to move over the sensor in 1/100s, which is not too bad. You could get some rolling shutter artefacts with fast moving objects, but the risk is small.

The Lumix GH3, G5 and G6 all have the slower electronic shutter, reading the sensor at approx 1/10s.

Newer cameras like the Lumix GX7 (1/15s) and GM1 (1/25s) have the improved, faster electronic shutter. The GX7 also has a faster mechanical shutter unit, capable of 1/360s flash sync.

The upcoming Lumix GH4 is said in Panasonic marketing material to have an electronic shutter capable of "faster than 50ms readout", which corresponds to faster than 1/20s, i.e., consistent with my GM1 finding above. It could very well be that these cameras share electronic shutter technology.

Just upgraded

Now even If I can't shoot I also look good with this on my my neck ;p

By the way how is the paint job? Does it well scratch resistant?

will the screw be an obstruction to bigger diameter lenses?

View attachment 2368

It doesn't obstruct with the 2 bigger lenses i tried the gm1 with. The 75 1.8 and 42.5 f1.2

I was considering this but end up getting Richard Franiec grip instead. Battery compartment always accessible

I stumbled upon this blog from the other forum and I agree to what he writes

Is the Panasonic GM1 a "better" camera than the Sony A7r??

[maldito]

Ha quite cheap la. 20bucks. Look at what premium Leica charges for the dlux 6 over the panny lx7.

Strap from eBay. Like $5 bucks or so.
