Hi Chris: I normally keep my GH2’s “Intelligent Resolution” feature turned off because I typically operate video cameras in full manual mode.
For folks unfamiliar with this feature, Panasonic describes it on their site:
https://panasonic.net/avc/lumix/systemcamera/gms/gh2/ia.html#adir
However, your question has prompted me to revisit this feature (actually, visit it for the first time). I’m now wondering if it might reduce the amount of 8-bit color gradient banding which sometimes appears in GH2 footage (such as in a clear blue sky, on an under-exposed light-colored wall). I haven’t tested this yet, but if I do I’ll report back — and post downloadable before & after footage on Vimeo.
Cheers.
