The "measured ISO" of the GH3: Surprise, surprise

Panasonic made a reasonable choice to expose to the right with the older sensors that had high read noise.  This was especially useful with the GH1 that was susceptible to banding within pushed shadows.

With a sensor that has cleaner shadows, it makes sense that they are exposing a bit more to the left to allow more highlight headroom.
