Administrators Andrew Reid 10,383 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted September 25, 2014 Is someone ready to try this hack? http://lightsnowdev.blogspot.com Try it guys. I will do once I have some time tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
Administrators Andrew Reid 10,383 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted September 25, 2014 Just tried the firmware update. Works but didn't see the claimed improvement in video quality. Hack project seems pretty real though. Link to post Share on other sites
xenogears 29 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 The two posted samples videos, do not bring confidence either, looks like gh4 video with premiere warp stabilised applied. I have hope that Andrew can establish some kind of communication with the hacker. Link to post Share on other sites
Brellivids 20 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Sounds good. It's good to remember that this kind of hack project might be clever scam that tries to get donations. It's best to wait patiently for good proofs from testers that it actually does something etc. I have zero doubt in relation wheter is doable or not. Link to post Share on other sites
Cinegain 2,169 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Sounds good. It's good to remember that this kind of hack project might be clever scam that tries to get donations. It's best to wait patiently for good proofs from testers that it actually does something etc. I have zero doubt in relation wheter is doable or not. I was thinking the exact same thing. But if it's legit, then it could be pretty cool. Link to post Share on other sites
Don Kotlos 912 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Just tried the firmware update. Works but didn't see the claimed improvement in video quality. Hack project seems pretty real though. They have uploaded a comparison and the difference should be there. I wonder why you couldn't see a difference. They have two versions. I ll give it a try later today too. If this ends up being the ML alternative for the EM1, then Olympus might get the wrong impression for their 2.0 firmware when the sales suddenly increase and keep on improving their art filters. I don't have a problem with hacked firmware but at least I expect companies not to lie about the technical limitations of their cameras. Link to post Share on other sites
JohnVid 18 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 You know what they say, Never Eat Yellow Snow... I'm really interested in returning to Olympus and 4k with their IS is something I want to see then it will be time to choose. Link to post Share on other sites

Ok like Andrew many other people report no difference in video mode, so there is something wrong either with this firmware, or the video comparison that they published or the guys doing the hack.

Nikkor 895 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 On 43rds rumors I read that with the hack you loose the crop in videomode, maybe you could check that out. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammy 32 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Whatever happened to this? Was it all just a big prank and a joke?Because if Olympus release a 4K now they'd win! Link to post Share on other sites
