Video users will be impressed with the improved performance in perceptual dynamic range at high ISO sensitivity settings.
Got the Shakes? Eliminate blur at any setting
Its 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-end.
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 lens 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.]
World 1st* 4K 60p/50p Smooth Quality Video
The LUMIX GH5 takes professional shooting performance
to another level with high-precision, silky smooth 4K
60p/50p (QFHD 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. You
also achieve perfect panning control and a suppression of
the rolling shutter effect as seen in lesser frame rates.
High-resolution images and perfect focal length can also
be achieved as the LUMIX GH5 features pixel for pixel, no
sensor cropping recording. 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.
** Available Summer 2017.
World 1st* 4:2:2 10-bit Internal Recording
The LUMIX GH5 brings game changing internal 4:2:2
10-bit 4K video recording. For example, 10-bit will render
all the subtleties of graduated skies and sunsets without
the banding so prone to 8-bit. The power of having film
creation capabilities inside the camera sets a new
precedent in guerilla style filmmaking. And you can record
4:2:2 10-bit to SD card whilst simultaneously feeding the
live signal thru a full-size HDMI port* connected to an
external monitor or recorder. 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 to match
professional intent.
A mind-blowing 400Mbps (ALL-Intra) high bitrate recording
mode will be available by firmware update**.
* For an interchangeable lens system camera as of 4 January, 2017.
4K 4:2:2 10 bit 60p/50p video is output only.
** Available Summer 2017.
Professional Versatility All Around The World
A plethora of video formats and bit rates prepare the LUMIX GH5 for use in a wide range of professional applications such as web, TV, DVD/Blu Ray and digital cinema production. You
can select from four recording formats such as AVCHD and MP4 for playback ease, or MP4 (LPCM) and MOV for professional editing ease. Bit rates can be extended to a maximum of
400 Mbps* (ALL-Intra) or 150 Mbps (Long GOP (IPB Compression)), with no recording duration limit.
The LUMIX GH5 is worldwide compatible as the system frequency can be selected from 59.94 Hz (NTSC), 50.00 Hz (PAL), or 24.00 Hz (CINEMA).
* Firmware update in summer 2017.
Live Output & HDMI Type A with Cable Lock Holder
The LUMIX GH5 is capable of 4:2:2 10-bit real-time image output to an external monitor or
recorder via an optional HDMI cable (full size Type A), while simultaneously providing an
internal 4:2:2 10-bit recording*. It is suitable for professional video making that requires
accurate monitoring of the imagery or high quality recording to external codec devices
(such as Pro Res).
* 4K 60p/50p is output only.
Built-in Microphone with NR Structure
The LUMIX GH5 is equipped with a dedicated microphone in the camera body enabling clear sound quality.
VFR (Variable Frame Rate)
The VFR lets you record videos with dramatic slow motion or unique quick motion in 4K
(60fps max.2.5x slower) or Full HD (180fps max.7.5x slower) quality, such as 180 fps /
7.5x*.
* In full HD, 24p playback.
Focus Transition
The Focus Transition function automatically shifts the focus point at a constant speed for precise in-focus to out-focus points - for example background to foreground - to give you an impressive 'rack focus' motion picture effect.
Ultra Fast Motion Detection & Focus
Panasonic's innovative DFD (Depth From Defocus)
technology is constantly evolving and its just got even
better. DFD allows the LUMIX GH5 to calculate focal lens
movement by comparing depth of field values of two
images at incredibly high speed. By combining the AF
drive with a maximum read speed of 480 fps, the LUMIX
GH5 can achieve ultra-high-speed Auto Focus in up to
0.05 seconds* and 9 fps burst shooting with AFC (** 12
fps burst shooting with AFS). A newly adopted motion
detector accurately tracks fast moving subjects, and
enables smooth 4K PHOTO/VIDEO & 6K PHOTO
recording.
** In AFS, at wide-end with H-ES12060 (CIPA).
Never Miss A Shot with 6K/4K Burst
Shoot with unlimited burst, then choose and extract the
exact frames you want to keep. The new 6K PHOTO*
mode at 30fps allows you to capture the perfect moments
at a stunning approx.18-megapixel high-resolution. The
Ultra-high-speed 4K PHOTO mode at 60fps freezes even
faster motion which is simply not possible in conventional
cameras. The LUMIX GH5 truly does make moments
unmissable.
* 6K PHOTO is a high speed burst shooting function that cuts a still
image out of a 4:3 or 3:2 video footage with approx.18-megapixel
(approx. 6000 x 3000 effective pixel count) that the 6K image
manages.
Improved Focus Detect & Selective AF
A Joystick Controller is now found on the back of the LUMIX GH5 just below the AF/AE lock button. You can use this to smoothly and intuitively select focus blocks inside the focusing area overlay.
225-Area AF
The focus detect area is massively increased from 49 (LUMIX GH4) to 225 points for more flexible composition.
Custom Multi AF
The Custom Multi AF mode allows you to freely select an array of blocks inside the 225 focusing area.
AF Zone Selectable
The focus area group size and position can be customized for Multi AF / Custom Multi AF.
AF Customise
With more customised AF settings, it is now possible to adjust AF directionality depending on the shooting scene.
Post Focus - Shoot now, Focus Later
A fantastic Post Focus function gives you the power to focus after you've taken the shot!
Simply capture the scene, review the image and touch the part of the photo you'd like pin
sharp. Set and save. It's simple, stunning and all this advanced processing happens
inside the camera.

Focus Stacking - Adjust The Focus Area After Shooting
The Focus Stacking function enables you to adjust the focus area after shooting by blending multiple images taken at different focus distances to create an amazing image depth of field. You can make your images with exactly the kind of de-focus you want or pan-focus the image by simply selecting the focus area after shooting. This is brilliantly useful when shooting with fast apertures, close ups or macro photography.
Splash/Dust/Freezeproof Rugged Design
The LUMIX GH5 is built like a tank to withstand even heavy use out in the field. It is freezeproof down to -10-degrees in addition to splash / dustproof construction thanks to weather sealing on every joint, dial, and button. A magnesium alloy full diecast armour frame makes the body lightweight yet durable while bringing ruggedness to the compact size. This camera can go everywhere you can.
High Performance Shutter Unit
The shutter unit is durable for approx. 200,000 times
release*. Not only does it offer the highest shutter speed
at max. 1/8000 to capture fast-moving
'spur-of-the-moment' shots but when used with fast
aperture lenses - even outdoors - it gives impressive
de-focus.
* Panasonic LUMIX in-house examination.
Optimum Control Components Layout
The LUMIX GH5 offers you more intuitive control with the addition of a joystick over the conventional front /rear dials operation. A dedicated button allows direct reach to exposure compensation, white balance adjustment or ISO setting and a maximum of 5 settings can be assigned to the Fn buttons. All these components are designed to be operated easily and without taking your eyes away from the viewfinder.
Never Miss A Recording - Dual SD Card Slot
LUMIX GH5 is equipped with dual SD card slot for larger capacity recording and efficient file arrangement. The dual SD card slots allow you to record in relay, backup, and simultaneous modes. Relay allows you to swap a full card out for an empty card so you can record virtually endlessly. The backup mode allows you to record continuously on one card, while you start and stop recording on the other card. Simultaneous record duplicates your recording on both cards.
3,680k-dot,
Large OLED LVF
A super high-resolution 3,680k-dot OLED LVF (Live View Finder) brings gorgeous visibility and makes for perfect framing even under direct sunlight.

Best of all, the OLED LVF ensures your pictures match up to exactly how you intended them.
A Large High-Resolution Rear Monitor
A huge 3.2-inch LCD monitor with a resolution of
1,620k-dot approx. gives you a crisp live view and high
visibility even in sunny shooting conditions. It adopts
RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White) pixel structure to feature
even higher visibility in sunny outdoors.
The tilt/swivel capability gives you the freedom to find
unusual perspectives while maintaining easy operation
and full image control. The monitor has Touch Focus
control to allow instant focus by simply touching the
subject on the screen. Plus, with Touch Shutter control
you can point your finger at where you want the focus to
be and it will release the shutter automatically.
Bluetooth 4.2 & Wi-Fi® 5GHz - A Pleasant Remote Control
The Bluetooth 4.2 (Low Energy) enables full-time connection between camera and
smartphone with low energy consumption. After shooting, it automatically switches to Wi-Fi
connection, transferring data to your smartphone. Backing up your photos is a breeze. Your
smartphone detects your location at home, then the camera automatically connects to a
Wi-Fi router and starts to copy photos to Google Drive. The Wi-Fi 5GHz (IEEE802.11ac)
makes the transfers incredibly fast. You can use Panasonic's Lumix Image App for Android /
iOS to control shutter and other settings, plus, video record Start / Stop without pysically
touching the camera!
