As the timing of ordering was delayed, it was recently that GH 4 arrived at the editorial department as a result of waiting in order. The box of GH 3 was silver, but the box of GH 4 was black.


Warranty letters and instruction manuals first appear when opening with a mistake. Punctuate these ... ...


Finally I face the main body. The appearance is a style common to the GH series.


On the back is a big eyepiece and below it the Bali Angle LCD familiar in the GH series.


The buttons are centrally arranged in a position that can be operated with the right hand.


Drive mode button (Single / Continuous / Auto Bracket / Self Timer / Interval / Scene Shot shooting switching) is on the left side of the top surface, and the mode dial is attached on the right side.


The mode dial lock is attached to the center of the mode dial, and lock / lock release is switched each time it is pressed.


The dial can not be turned unless you release the lock.


Battery grip contacts and interface unit contacts are hidden on the bottom.


Left is GH 4, right is GH 3. Although the attached lens is different, it is understood that it is almost the same shape except the mode dial lock.


Sample taken from here. I am not correcting for photos, but since the original file has a size of 3MB to 9MB, I resize it and save it with 90% quality JPEG. In shooting, basically we use intelligent auto mode, leaving ISO, shutter speed, diaphragm etc. to the camera.

It is as already reviewed that GH 3 and GH 4 have almost the same appearance, but the big change is that GH 4 corresponds to 4 K. So actually I took a 4K movie. Since it has been uploaded to YouTube, when you play, click the setting in the lower right (gear icon) and select "2160p 4K", it will play at 4K.

GH 4 can be said that GH 3 is a model that has evolved orthodox as you can see from its appearance. Above all, the GH series has not been able to use the GH 2 battery for GH 3 because the battery and charger are also becoming new each time a new model comes out, but GH 4 is common with GH 3 Because I am using a battery / charger, the point that the asset can be used. It's about a year and a half since GH3's launch, so the person who bought GH 3 does not have to change it right now, but since those with compatible accessories already available can be used, so if you are a person who does not adhere to genuine accessories, It is possible to arrange it cheaply except for it.

Currently, GH 4 is a Panasonic shopping sitePanasonic StoreSo we do not handle it. At the price .com, at the time of article writing, only the body was sold from 157,998 yen, and the high magnification zoom lens kit was sold from 20,5362 yen.
