Panasonic announces the world's first high-end mirrorless "LUMIX DC-GH 5" capable of shooting 4K 60p movies

Panasonic's world's first mirror-less single-lens camera capable of shooting 4K 60p moviesLUMIX DC-GH 5Announced that it will be released on March 23, 2017. By using the newly developed image sensor and image processing Venus engine, GH 5 realizes the highest high quality picture quality in the history of LUMIX, and "4K 60p movie recording & 4: 2: 2" which can also be active in the field of video production 10-bit 4K 30p movie recording ", features new features such as" 6K Photo (around 6000 × 3000) "and evolved" Space Recognition AF ", etc., suitable for high-end machines.

The number of effective pixels of the camera of GH 5 is 20.33 million pixels, the number of recorded pixels of still images is 5184 × 3888 at the aspect ratio of 4: 3, MOV at the time of movie shooting and 4 K (3840 × 2160) 59.94 p at MP4 format It corresponds to shooting, ISO sensitivity is 100 (at extended ISO setting) to 25600, shutter speed is 60 to 1/8000 seconds at mechanical shutter, 1 to 1/16000 seconds at electronic shutter, continuous shooting at mechanical shutter Up to about 12 frames / sec, electronic shutter up to about 12 frames / sec, continuous shooting with RAW / RAW + JPEG 60 or more, continuous shooting with JPEG alone 600 or more. The number of still images shootable is about 410 at the time of monitoring, about 400 at the time of viewfinder, about 1000 when setting power saving viewfinder shooting, and about 120 minutes continuous shooting time possible.

The main body size is 138.5 mm in width × 98.1 mm in height × 87.4 mm in depth, the weight of the main body alone is about 645 g. Approximately 935 g when attaching a 12 - 60 mm lens.

The high-end mirrorless single-lens camera "LUMIX DC-GH5" is characterized by the highest high-quality photographic image quality of LUMIX history by the newly developed image sensor and image processing Venus engine. The newly developed image sensor is a "Live MOS sensor" with about 20.33 million effective pixels, realistic resolving power that details beautifully and faithfully by low pass filterless design, rolling shutter by high speed reading corresponding to 4K 60p movie recording By suppressing distortion phenomenon, high image quality and high speed are realized.

Similarly, the newly developed "Venus Engine" has advanced significantly in resolution, high-sensitivity image quality and color reproducibility, and the new technology "multipixel luminance generation" and "intelligent detail processing" enable the resolution performance of the interchangeable lens In addition to recreating without limit, "New 3-D color control" reproduces a faithful and rich color tone by lightness, saturation, hue separately. Furthermore, at high sensitivity, "high precision multiprocess NR" precisely divides noise and signal components, it is possible to describe the natural three-dimensional feeling and delicate details of the subject.

Besides, with the installation of a high precision gyro sensor and the evolution of the control algorithm, the in-body image stabilization (B.I.S.) realized the correction effect of 5 steps. "Dual IS" has also evolved into "Dual IS 2" which optimally controls camera shake compensation of both body and lens using information of the body-side high precision gyro sensor, and it is evolving from the middle telephoto to the telephoto The effect of correcting is realized.

Besides the world's first 4K 60p movie shooting, it is also possible to shoot 4K 30p movies with 4: 2: 2 10 bit recording. Since 4: 2: 2 10 bit recording has 2 times color information compared with 4: 2: 0 8 bits, overall it has 64 times information quantity, so subtle color adjustment at color grading, dynamic color conversion, CG synthesis It is ideal for professional use, such as high quality material record for use. In addition, 4: 2: 2 10bit 4K30p movie recording which had so far required an external recorder in GH5 can be recorded on the internal SD card.

The interface is also evolving, and the camera body is equipped with a versatile HDMI Type A terminal. In addition, since it has two SD card slots, it supports various recording methods using two SD cards.


The selling price of GH 5 is "open price", but for Yodobashi camera it is 250 thousand yen including tax for body only.

Simultaneously with the announcement of GH 5, the interchangeable lens "H - ES 12060" for the new micro Four Thirds system alsoAnnouncementIt is being done. It is a standard zoom lens of 24 - 120 mm in terms of 35 mm format, with an open F value of 2.8 to 4.0, making it possible to take advantage of beautiful blurring. The release hall is February 23, 2017, and the manufacturer suggested retail price is 125,000 yen without tax.


In addition, "H - FSA 45200", "H - FSA 100300", "H - HSA 1205" and "H - HSA 35100" of the interchangeable lens for the micro Four Thirds system are adapted to the appearance of GH 5renewalIt has also been announced.
