You may have got GF3/GF2 as a backup of your DSLR, the same like me. What attracted me most is GF3’s high-definition recording feature; I often use my GF3 to record 1080p videos. But, GF3 and GF2 recorded video is in AVCHD MTS or MOV format, it’s not compatible with Final Cut Pro on Mac, we can’t import GF3/GF2 AVCHD MTS to FCP for editing directly, we need to convert GF3/GF2 AVCHD to FCP compatible format.
