Released in June 2021 *Lens kit included with (LUMIX G VARIO 12-60mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH./POWER O.I.S.) (H-FS12060) Professional video performance inherited from the GH series and connection to 5G-compatible devices enables wireless live streaming Improved basic performance that broadens the scope of creators' expression Video shooting performance that meets professional use / [DCGH5M2M] DCGH5M2M Released in June 2021 *Lens kit included with "LUMIX G VARIO 12-60mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH./POWER O.I.S." (H-FS12060) Introducing the GH5 successor, the "GH5II" The high-end Micro Four Thirds SLR camera LUMIX GH5 combines the basic performance of the full-frame SLR camera LUMIX This new model features the latest performance gained through the development of the S series. The wireless live streaming function, a first for LUMIX, further expands the scope of the GH, a camera that has earned enthusiastic support from professional photographers and filmmakers. While maintaining the GH series' legendary imaging performance and reliability, the buttons and menus have been further refined for greater intuitiveness, providing ease of use and functionality for both advanced amateurs and professionals. From video recording, live streaming, and still photography, the new GH series of Micro Four Thirds cameras is dedicated to all creators seeking diverse and sophisticated expression. Unlimited video recording time (recording and live streaming) and an excellent heat dissipation design prevent camera overheating. Not only is it ideal for long-form video recording for events and documentaries, but the wireless live streaming function, a first for this camera, allows unlimited recording time*. Streaming is possible to streaming sites that support the RTMP/RTMPS standard. Compatibility with all streaming sites is not guaranteed. The live streaming function may become unavailable due to changes on the streaming service. For details, please refer to the streaming service's terms and conditions. Easily connect to your smart device for high-quality live streaming. This wireless live streaming function is a first for this camera. Live streaming is now possible anytime, anywhere, indoors or outdoors. RTMP/RTMPS connectivity also allows you to use a wide range of video streaming services depending on your needs. 20.3M Pixel Live MOS Sensor: The Live MOS sensor boasts an effective pixel count of 20.3M and a low-pass filter-less design for stunning resolution. It enables C4K/60p video recording and minimizes rolling shutter distortion, which can occur with electronic shutters or video recording, for faithful image quality. The new AR (Anti-Reflection) coating on the Live MOS sensor effectively suppresses unwanted reflections and flare, often occurring on the sensor surface in backlit shooting environments. Capture the natural beauty of light, even in harsh, brightly lit environments. Venus Engine: The latest "Venus Engine" boasts high performance in resolution, high sensitivity, and color reproduction. High resolution achieved through multi-pixel brightness generation and intelligent detail processing delivers high-definition, natural texture depiction while also improving color moiré suppression. New 3D color control improves color reproduction across brightness, saturation, and hue, enabling richer, more faithful color expression. Improved recognition function delivers improved tracking accuracy with the new Real-Time Recognition AF. In addition to standard Face and Eye Recognition, the camera now supports Head Recognition, which captures the head of a person facing away from you, and Body Recognition, which captures the entire body of a small, distant subject. The camera automatically determines the intended subject based on the angle of view and maintains focus while minimizing background blur. Advances in deep learning and faster recognition processing significantly improve the tracking and speed of Face, Eye, and Body Recognition. Animal Recognition* also delivers superior focusing performance for animals. *Recognition is limited to birds, canines (including wolves), and felines (including lions). Powerful Image Stabilization System Supports Handheld Shooting: The camera's built-in In-Body Image Stabilization (B.I.S.) utilizes a newly developed algorithm to calculate camera shake information based on signals from the high-precision gyro sensor, as well as information from the image sensor and accelerometer. The result is image stabilization performance equivalent to 6.5 shutter stops, significantly more effective than previous models (5 shutter stops). This provides even greater support for shooting in previously challenging environments, such as low light, enabling greater mobility and expanding the scope of creative expression. The camera also incorporates the latest video image stabilization algorithm, newly adopted in the full-frame mirrorless camera "DC-S1H," for natural, seamless image stabilization during video capture. Various Features for Live Streaming: Wireless IP streaming using high-speed, high-capacity, low-latency 5G communications enables high-quality live streaming anytime, anywhere. Furthermore, by installing "LUMIX Sync" on a smart device connected to the GH5II, the previously complicated live streaming process is simplified, allowing for effortless live streaming. Additionally, using "LUMIX Network Setting Software," you can export streaming service stream keys and streaming settings from your PC to an SD memory card. By loading streaming settings from the SD memory card to the GH5II in advance, you can stream wirelessly without a smart device.
Built-in noise reference microphone suppresses recording of internal camera operation sounds. In addition to the L/R channels for stereo audio recording, the camera is equipped with a built-in noise reference microphone that monitors and suppresses the drive noise of interchangeable lenses and other noise transmitted within the camera. By suppressing operation sounds that can be noticeable when shooting video in quiet environments, you can record video with reduced noise both inside and outside the camera. Even in scenes that require high-quality audio, such as LPCM and high-resolution audio, unnecessary noise can be suppressed and preserved beautifully.
