Odd and pretty much meaningless. Well, maybe it isn't meaningless for anyone setting the camera to put out JPG images. For raw shooters it seems to be a better idea to crop in PP. Why not 3000x3000 btw?As if it weren't already tempting enough, it seems that in addition to the 4:3 3:2 and 16:9 modes, the GH1 will also have a 1:1 still picture mode at 2992x2992.
I'm not sure what crop factor this works out to...
Ha! That sounds like cheating to me.Hehe it seems like cheating to me to crop to 1:1 afterwards. I think being able to compose with a 1:1 view would also be quite nice
Good point! Anyways, its another item on the list of improvements from the G1 to the GH1 that I likeThe plus for doing the crop in camera is that you meter for the cropped scene and not the full frame. Can be more accurate.

Terry ,you should be a politician(maybe you are),good answer . (...)
Pretty much meaningless. Do you really believe that removing 1/8 of the image to the left and the right will have an impact on the metering? Are you all into matrix auto don't know what the camera does metering?Good point! Anyways, its another item on the list of improvements from the G1 to the GH1 that I like
I'll tell you why it's good in general to be able to shoot roughly the same way you intend for the final image to look: shape, color/grayscale, etc. It's because of other people -- specifically, other people who might need to look at the image on the camera LCD or otherwise before it goes through post-production. That might be the subject, the customer, the art director, or whomever.Odd and pretty much meaningless. Well, maybe it isn't meaningless for anyone setting the camera to put out JPG images.

Hi photoworkplace,Hey folks (...)

First your questions!
The Histogram is just about useless

That was a Holy War
No offense ever taken when a question is involved
If you're shooting in raw format, the color is still there even when you've got the camera set to B&W mode. You get to view B&W in the camera to check for tonal mergers etc. -- but if you later decide a color image would have been better, you can re-process the raw file as color instead.Rather like shooting in B&W mode, there is no denying that there is some advantage in '''seeing in B&W''', of course it also means that you can never go back, and cannot offer a colour example...
