How-to install the Panasonic GH1 firmware hack (EosHD)
EosHD just made a wiki entry where he explains how to install the Panasonic GH1 firmware hack.
List of major improvements:
- 24p native footage, no need to unwrap from 60i or use pulldown on NTSC models
- Increase in image quality
- Higher bitrates in AVCHD mode
- Interface language can be selected from large range of international options
Sounds awesome. Let me know if the firmware hack works without any flaw. And please keep in mind that this is a hack soyou have to be aware of the risks!

2 years ago |To BA, you are saying this works with a GF1 too? Can you now shoot 1080/24p on your GF1 with a higher bitrate AVCHD? I’m buying one today if that is the case.

the only options i got on hacking the firmware were to update the version and change the language.
obviously something common in the firmware on both cameras but not in the video format
