Camera Calibration Panasonic Lumix GH-1/2?

Question

I love LR 3.2! I use a Panasonic GH-1 (and soon a GH-2). I read that 3.3 will support the Lumix GH-2. The GH-1 has a great camera setting called Dynamic B&W. Beautiful. But I don't see that the "Camera Calibration" is supported in 3.2? Hopefully in 3.3? My Dynamic B&W JPGs look wonderful, but, I would prefer, to have a Camera Calibration with a match for this setting. Any chance this feature will be supported in 3.3?
If not,
Is there a method to duplicate the in camera style as a preset in LR?
I don't know where to start other than trial and error.
Thanks!

Answer 1

The styles in Lumix cameras are rather good...I use them for video and sometimes for the screen when shooting RAW. However styles and calibration are different beasts and therefore don't expect these styles to ever be in the calibration part of the work flow. They are processing parameters rather than differing ways of interpreting colour data and it is the later that calibration applies to.
However you can achieve much better B&W processing yourself by use of all the options in LR, any of these can be saved as a preset. You will find matching the Dynamic B&W look of Lumix cameras not to difficult, but I am sure you will be able to do better yourself. If you want a starting point, then shoot RAW + jpg and import them as separate files (selected in preferences), you can then match your chosen settings in LR.
If you are really into B&W shooting you may want to try the Silver Efex plug in, just google it.
