Panasonic Lumix GH5S Puts The Focus On Video

Panasonic has announced its latest video-focused mirrorless camera, the Lumix GH5S.Designed primarily for professional filmmakers, Panasonic believes that the GH5S will deliver the highest-ever video image quality seen in a Lumix camera.

Panasonic has ditched the 20.3MP Micro Four thirds Live Mos sensor found in the GH5 and replaced it with an all-new 10.2MP sensor. this has allowed Panasonic to improve on the maximum Iso of 25,600 on the GH5, with an Iso ceiling of 51,200 in the GH5S. to reduce the risk of background image noise in low-light conditions, Panasonic has also included its Dual native ISO Technology.

The Lumix GH5S also gives those shooting stills the option to shoot 14-bit raw files, while the newly developed multi-aspect sensor provides sufficient margin to get the same angle of view in 4:3, 17:9, 16:9, and 3:2 aspect ratios.

Cinema 4K at 60/50p

While the Lumix GH5 was the first mirrorless camera capable of shooting 4K footage at up to 60/50p, the Lumix GH5S takes this one step further and shoots at a world-first 4K 60/50precording in Cinema 4K (4096 x 2160).

That’s just part of the story, as the GH5S is capable of internal 4:2:2 10-bit recording, which should deliver even stronger color reproduction, while V-Log now comes pre-installed on the camera – something that was an additional cost on the GH5.
