Magic Lumix - Panasonic S9 and GX80 officially hacked

[Andrew - EOSHD]

With the help of our AI friends, the first Panasonic hack since the GH2 has arrived.

So far the S9 and GX80 have the hack.

It auto-executes code from the card at boot, enabling the same kind of range of mods Magic Lantern does but on Lumix cameras for the first time. It takes compiled C code binaries and Arm64 code.

The CPU is extremely powerful... 64bit vs the 32bit EOS R5.

More info soon.

GM5 and GX9 to follow

Are you just testing the ability to hack and moving on, or will you eventually add features like raw video, log profiles, etc... where possible?

Holy crap, that's awesome. Thanks a lot, Andrew! @Andrew - EOSHD I love the raw files out of my GX85. S16 crop, downsampled HD or cine 2K, 10bit or 12bit 3:1 CDNG would be perfect. Battery life is so much better than on my bmpcc. EVF, nice ergonomy, solid layout, buttons and wheels are great to have. But you all already know that of course. 🙂

Incredible stuff!

I spent a bit of time asking ChatGPT if the GX85 could be hacked and it said that there were serious limitations, but like all mid-capability intelligences, if it hasn't been done then they erroneously overstep and assume it can't be done.

Are / will these be shared somewhere?
