Yesterday I posted the FZ2500 videos from our contributor. Today we have new videos of the Panasonic G85 and LX10 PAL cameras and how they can be hacked to allow NTSC frame rates. The instructions below should work with all the latest Lumix camera so give it a try if you need a world camera. You can also download G85 sample videos from here or the LX10 sample videos from here to try for yourself.
