I'm going to answer my own question here..... after being on hold with panasonic for the past hour....
apparently the electronic shutter is capable of 1/16000 sec, but there's no way to adjust the shutter past 1/4000 sec. why they mentioned the 1/16000 sec to dpreview is beyond me.... just a tease in the end..... guess it's just another example of how they limited the capabilities of the GH2.... wonder if Vitaly could do anything about this....:)
Just curious as 1/16000 sec is noted in the specifications (for video),
but I can't seem to get past 1/4000 sec in movie mode.
tried manual everything, S priority, still stops at 1/4000 sec.
(keep in mind this is with firmware 1.1)
has anyone else ever used this setting ?
If so I'd love to know how to do it.
thanks
