Thanks for that. Concert footage looks good. What lens? I spoke with one of the Panasonic developer engineers who said that part of the problem might be inferior optics in the 1/3″ to 2/3″ adapter. Also said that the tiny 1/3″ chip just gets a little overworked in harsh conditions and there’s nothing to be done about it except, as you say, crank in the ND filter to let less light in. He said the CMOS chip performs best at 2.8 or so. Also I asked about the Chromatic Aberation Correction circuit and he said that when you put an older lens on it that doesn’t read the circuitry, it turns itself off.
Thanks for your help.
