Video reviews

It would seem that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH5 mirrorless camera has almost reached the perfect camera for video recording in the serious amateur and professional segments. But the release of a modification with the designation “S” brings the capabilities of a mirrorless camera in video shooting to an even higher quality level.

cardinal changes

On the outside, the film and video version of the camera is flaunted by some red-coloured controls, notably the large REC button on the top of the model. All the cardinal differences from the classic GH5 lie inside. Firstly, the camera has a new image sensor with a resolution of 12 MP (even less — 10.2 MP is effectively used). Secondly, the physical dimensions of the camera's matrix have grown slightly, which is done in order to be able to use different aspect ratios (17:9, 16:9, 4:3 or 3:2) while maintaining the viewing angle. Such steps were also taken from the considerations that large pixels absorb more light, which improves camera performance at high ISOs.

Wide ISO Range

The standard matrix sensitivity range for the Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S ranges from 160 to 51200 ISO. In advanced mode, it rises to ISO 80-204800. Up to ISO 2500, noise in the image is effectively suppressed by Dual Native ISO technology without the slightest loss of quality. Interestingly, the camera sensor has lost the matrix stabilization system. On the one hand, its absence makes shooting handheld difficult, but the professional orientation of the model implies its use in tandem with mechanical devices for image stabilization.

Cinema 4K

The video capabilities of the camera are truly impressive. It can record movies in Cinema 4K resolution (4096x2160 pixels) at up to 60 fps(in 10-bit colour with 4:2:2 colour subsampling to an external recorder or with a frame rate of 30 fps straight to an SD memory card ). To expand the dynamic range, the operator has access to V-Log L, Rec.709 LUT profiles and HDR support when shooting 4K. All this together opens up the widest possibilities in the post-processing of the footage.

Arguments for"

Not only 4K is strong Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S — at a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, the camera shoots video at a frequency of up to 240 fps, allowing you to completely freeze motion in the frame. In turn, the camera body is not afraid of frost, in addition, it is protected from dust and moisture. Another indisputable argument in favor of the model is a wide range of interchangeable lenses for the Micro 4/3 system, which makes it possible to choose a lens for any shooting conditions, both among "native" lenses and in a number of solutions from third-party manufacturers.
