Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 (Body Only)

Code: GEC/DC-GH5GN-K
 NO LONGER AVAILABLE

World 1st* 4K 4:2:2 10-bit Internal Recording

The LUMIX GH5 brings game changing 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 25/30p video recording to the SD Card whilst simultaneously feeding the live signal through a full-size HDMI port connected to an external monitor or recorder. The 4:2:2 10-bit recording enables faithful colour and grading fidelity with over a billion colours and four times the tonality of 8-bit. The result is cinematic, subtle gradation and far more colour information. For the serious film maker, this provides significantly more editing flexibility in post-production. A 400Mbps (ALL-Intra) high bitrate recording mode will be available with a firmware update later in 2017.

* For an interchangeable lens system camera as of 4 January, 2017. 4K 4:2:2 10 bit 60p/50p video is output only.

World 1st* 4K 50/60p Smooth Quality Video

The LUMIX GH5 takes professional shooting performance to another level with high-precision, silky smooth 4K 50/60p (4K: 3840 x 2160 / MOV or MP4) video recording capability. Faster frame rates mean excellent motion compensation plus you can slow down footage inside your video editing timeline without losing detail. For those who require faster frame rates, the GH5 can record 1080p Full HD video at an incredible 180 frames per second.

The LUMIX GH5 can capture high quality stills and video while utilising the full sensor area, even when shooting in 4K 50/60p and 6K Photo modes. It captures maximum detail while maintaining the lens’ focal length and angle of view. There's also no recording duration limit so you can go beyond 30 minutes in all record settings.

* For a Digital Single Lens Mirrorless camera as of 4 January, 2017.

20.3MP Pixel-Perfect Shooter

The LUMIX GH5 packs a real punch with its high performance Digital Live MOS sensor sporting a whopping 20.3 megapixels to achieve the ultimate picture quality in the history of LUMIX G digital cameras. Together with the removal of the low-pass filter from the sensor, you can confidently capture the sharpest ever imagery with high dynamic range and artefact free. The LUMIX GH5 is a camera of beauty crafted by Panasonic engineering.

Venus Engine Beauty

The marriage of an advanced Digital Live MOS sensor with the beautiful new Venus Engine 10 reproduces extraordinary colour detail and natural texture expression. Multipixel Luminance Generation and Intelligent Detail Processing render intense brightness and contrast. The Three-Dimensional Colour Control zings with rich colours from dark to bright shades and high-precision Multi Process NR makes your images pop even at high ISO sensitivity settings. Video users will be impressed with the improved performance in perceptual dynamic range at high ISO sensitivity settings.

Eliminate Blur at Any Setting

It’s difficult to handhold a camera at the best of times but don't fret, with the 5-axis Dual I.S. (Image Stabiliser) 2* intelligent compensation comes to your aid. This is the equivalent to 5 doublings of exposure duration meaning you can use a 5-stop slower shutter speed up to tele-photo.

The LUMIX GH5 eliminates shake in both body and lens from wide-angle to tele-end**. It also works in both photo and video recording, including 4K video.

The astonishing power of the 5-axis Body I.S. corrects shake for all lenses, including classic lenses not equipped with O.I.S.

* 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 works when attaching the lenses that are compatible with it. Firmware update of the lens is also required.
** Based on the CIPA standard [Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=50-140mm (35mm film camera equivalent f=100-280mm), when H-FS14140 is used.]
