Panasonic GH5 offers 6K photo function

Panasonic GH5 offers 6K photo functionMark Peters : January 13th 2017 - 09:00 CET Panasonic mirrorless camera with advanced Depth from Defocus technologyThe Panasonic Lumix GH5 comes with a newly improved Depth from Defocus and Contrast autofocus technology, which not only calculates the distance to the subject by evaluating two images with different sharpness levels, but also analyses the form, size and even motion of the subject comprehensively. Thanks to the new Venus Engine, the time for measuring the distance to the subject is 6x faster, while factorising the distance into in-plane or in-depth is 2x faster. The speed of sensor drive during auto focusing in photo shooting mode has been increased to 480 fps, which is 2x faster than that of the Panasonic Lumix GH4. Consequently, the Lumix GH5 realises ultra-high-speed AF of approximately 0.05 sec and 12 (AFS) / 9 (AFC) fps high-speed burst shooting using a mechanical shutter in full resolution. By analysing every single frame precisely, it achieves a maximum 200% higher precision frame detection with minimum mot ion detection error for higher tracking tolerance against moving subjects. Panasonic GH5 accessoriesThe Panasonic Lumix GH5 system camera is compatible with the new DMW-BGGH5 battery grip. By using two batteries, one in the camera and the other in the grip, the Panasonic DMW-BGGH5 extends the battery life for longer time shooting. The optionally available Panasonic DMW-XLR1 microphone adaptor is a plug-in type adaptor for XLR microphone to record high quality stereo sound. The Lumix GH5 integrates Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi 5GHz (IEEE 802.11ac) connectivity to offer a more flexible shooting experience and instant image sharing with easy operation.

Panasonic Post Focus functionFor even more precise focusing, the number of focus areas has been increased from 49 to 225. Users can create a group of focus areas depending on the composition and can control it easily with a new joystick located on the thumb position, without taking your eyes off the subject. This is possible even when using the LVF or releasing the finger off the shutter button. If focus is not exactly as the user intended when the shutter is pressed, the Lumix GH5's Post Focus function enables users to select the specific focus point even after shooting - particularly helpful in situations like macro shooting where severe focusing is required. In addition, the camera also features a Focus Stacking function. As taking a single macro photo with specific areas in focus can sometimes be difficult, Focus Stacking enables users to take multiple images of the same frame with different focus points. You can then combine them into one image with the defocus as you like. Panasonic 6K PhotoThe Lumix GH5's new 6K Photo function makes it possible to capture unmissable moments at 30fps by extracting the frame with the best timing out of the 6K burst file (in 3:2 or 4:3 aspect) to save as an approximately 18-megapixel equivalent high resolution photo. 4K Photo has also been upgraded enabling 60fps high speed capture in approximately 8-megapixel equivalent resolution. In 6K/4K Photo, three exclusive modes are available to choose from depending on the situation; 6K/4K Burst, 6K/4K Burst (Start/Stop) and 6K/4K Pre-burst. By compensating the signal information between the frames, the Venus Engine makes it possible to apply Post Recording Refinement over the pictures to correct distortion and reduce noise when playing back or cutting images out of the 6K/4K burst file. As a result, the picture quality of 6K/4K Photo shot at high shutter speed in high sensitivity or those shot in panning are dramatically improved.
