What's the manual way you're referring to, and how easy do you want? You can always use Lightroom to import, apply some basic settings and export (convert to Jpeg) in batch - not sure if that's "auto" or "manual" for you.

Anyway, for GF1 users I've found a guide to tune the white balance and film mode to make the out-of-camera Jpeg output to be closer to the punchier output from Olympus Pen series.

That's right, the main purpose is to improve the output from GF1 to look more natural, and in some way, contrasty.

First is the white balance thing, after adjusting the AWB it gives you a warmer feel which is to counter-act the cooler feel (which makes the photo looks flat) that GF1 gives by default. Second is the film mode, the author changed the default to Vibrant (high contrast and saturation), but reducing contrast and saturation value by 1. However it still makes the photo looks punchier than the Std more

Guys, need your help. My flickr appear in chinese character, which I can't understand. anyone knows how to rectify this?

Thanks a lot in advance ya

new toy

During the weekends.. I went to molest cameras... 550D, GF1 and E-PL1. Already using a S90 and FZ28... so a bit hesitant as to whether it's the right route.

no regret..getting m43 especially with the latest firmware it improve AF

must get a matching netbook to go together with my ep2..alienware m11x is the perfect match

Don't get me wrong... I love my S90 to death but both my cameras lacking a narrow DoF and a dslr is too much of a commitment. *sigh*

If kena lottery.. then problem solved --> M9

Hi,
Few questions.

1. Can I use olympus PEN compatible flashes with the GF1?
2. Can I use the EP-2 EVF on the GF1?
3. Has anyone tried the Voigtlander 40mm viewfinder with the 20mm pancake? How was it?

thanks

With the panny 20mm pancake lens widest aperture (f/1.7) and excessive neon lighting, there's no problem shooting with 1/100s shutter speed and ISO 100

Camera:  Panasonic DMC-GF1
Exposure:  0.01 sec (1/100)
Aperture:  f/1.7
Focal Length:  20 mm
ISO Speed:  100


It's a photo of Tokyo red light district by the way

actually based on experience, do you guys recommend GF1 or EPL-1? function n performance wise...

and since it's micro four thirds, does it mean it has the same mount? Olympus can use Pana 20mm 1.7?

100-300mm f/4-5.6 Mega O.I.S. 

why not swtch one with a 7-14mm for landscape? hehe. anyone owns that? looks promising

guys heard about the mirror adapter for GF1 cameras? oh man, if they make that i'll surely buy it. dream item!!
