Richard, I think you will find this interesting. By changing a setting slightly auto focus improves immensely with the GH5 and GH5s for video. It is even more noticeable with Canon and AF adapted lenses. Hunting mostly goes away. There is a good explanation as to why this improves focusing too. Panasonic Lumix GH5 is a high-sensitivity 20.3-megapixel Live MOS Micro Four Thirds sensor without a low-pass filter. GH5 is combined with the new Venus Engine that allows you to achieve the highest picture quality in colour, reproduction, and resolution. Really, you did good Panasonic!

The DMW-BLF19 battery for the GH5 camera lasts for approximately 120 minutes when shooting in AVCHD format for video.It's also worth pointing out that video editors like Final Cut Pro and even the humble iMovie have software based stabilization that is very often way more effective than any in-camera e-stabilization. Lab results The Lumix GH5 focuses at 0.05 secs, an improvement from the GH4, which focused at 0.07 seconds. The new with the Venus Engine now processes information at 480fps.

Panasonic describes the GH5S as having 'Dual Native ISO,' which is standard video terminology for a dual gain sensor design. Such chips have two read-out modes, one that maximises dynamic range at low sensitivity settings and a second designed to minimize noise but at the cost of dynamic range, at higher settings (the second mode changes the 'conversion gain': essentially increasing the pixel's voltage output). It's something we first encountered in Nikon's 1 Series cameras but that's become increasingly common over the past few years, resulting in visible improvements at high ISO settings.Yes, there's a pixel level benefit to large pixels that appears at very high ISOs, but nothing about this camera or the surrounding marketing suggests that this camera was developed with that in mind. It We are still waiting for software updates to camera raw conversion tools to work with the GH5 II’s raw files, but its JPEGs are clean, crisp and sharp. The Leica-branded 12-60mm f/2.8-4 we used for our tests is not cheap, but it’s a pretty stellar performer, offering edge to edge sharpness and consistent performance across its wide 5x 24-120mm equivalent zoom range. axis Dual I.S. 2 works when attaching the lens that are compatible with it. Firmware update of the lens is also required.

As you take this camera for a spin (trust me, you want to take this one for a spin) you’ll experience its stand-out features. Allow me to introduce you to your next camera rental! A new handshake correction mode is added, which provides optimum correction when using 2.0x and 1.33x Anamorphic lens.

Hey Richard, thanks for the reply. Looks like Phillip Bloom did a low light comparison GH5s vs A7r3 (s35 crop). When viewed on a large monitor, it appears the GH5s begins to fall apart at ISO 6400. for external microphone/Stereo/Lens Auto/Shotgun/Super Shotgun/Manual is selectable when attaching DMW-MS2 (sold separately).

Its difficult to handhold a camera at the best of times. Thanks to the 5-Axis Dual 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 shakes 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. The GH5 II's multi-pattern metering proved hard to fault in our tests, and the i.Dynamic option for in-camera JPEGs has kept the shadows light here while holding on to the bright sky beyond.

You taught me several things I didn't know about Resolve and also tested a few things in ways I hadn't thought of. Excellent job with this review. Keep up the great work. Interestingly (or even disappointingly), Panasonic has swapped the rear screen from the 3.2-inch display on the GH5 to a smaller 3-inch screen on the GH5 II, though it does have a higher resolution and Panasonic says its luminosity and color rendition are improved for outdoor daylight use.

It appears that ISO 160 is the base ISO for CineD Low with ISO 1600 being the base ISO for CineD High. Just as we expect to see better pixel-level noise from larger pixels, logic would also lead you to expect greater pixel-level dynamic range (even though again, this advantage tends to disappear when you compare images at the same size). This additional pixel-level dynamic range is the reason the GH5S needs to offer 14-bit Raw files: because you need the extra bit-depth to provide room for that additional dynamic range.
