Released in June 2021. Lens not included. Please purchase separately. Inheriting the GH series' professional video performance and connecting to 5G-compatible devices for wireless live streaming. Improved basic performance expands the creative possibilities of creators. Video shooting performance meets professional needs / [DCGH5M2] DCGH5M2 Released in June 2021. Introducing the GH5's successor, the GH5II. This high-end Micro Four Thirds SLR camera combines the fundamental performance of the LUMIX GH5 with the latest features developed through the full-frame S-series cameras. The wireless live streaming feature, 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 intuitive operation, providing ease of use and functionality for both advanced amateurs and professionals. The new GH Series of Micro Four Thirds cameras is dedicated to all creators seeking diverse and sophisticated expression, from video recording, live streaming, and still photography. Unlimited video recording time (recording and live streaming): The camera's excellent heat dissipation design prevents overheating. Not only is it ideal for long-form video recording for events and documentaries, but this camera's first wireless live streaming function also allows unlimited recording time. Streaming to streaming sites that support the RTMP/RTMPS standard is possible. Compatibility with all streaming sites is not guaranteed. The live streaming function may become unavailable due to changes on the streaming service. Please refer to the terms of the streaming service for details. Easily enjoy high-quality live streaming by connecting to a smart device: This camera is the first to feature wireless live streaming functionality. Live streaming is now easy, indoors or outdoors, anytime, anywhere. RTMP/RTMPS connectivity also allows you to use a wide range of video streaming services depending on your needs. 20.3-megapixel Live MOS Sensor: The Live MOS sensor delivers an effective pixel count of 20.3 megapixels and a low-pass filter-less design for stunning resolution. This camera enables C4K/60p video recording and delivers faithful images by suppressing rolling shutter distortion, which can occur with electronic shutters and video recording. The new AR (Anti-Reflection) coating applied to the Live MOS sensor surface effectively suppresses unwanted reflections that often occur on the sensor surface in backlit shooting environments, effectively suppressing flare. Even in harsh, brightly lit shooting environments, you can capture the natural expression of light.
Venus Engine: The latest "Venus Engine" boasts high performance in resolution, high sensitivity, and color reproduction. High resolution achieved through multi-pixel luminance generation and intelligent detail processing delivers high-definition, natural-looking textures, while also improving color moiré suppression processing performance. New 3D Color Control improves color reproduction by brightness, saturation, and hue, enabling more faithful and rich color expression.
Real-time Recognition AF: Improved tracking accuracy thanks to the new recognition function. In addition to standard "face and eye recognition," the camera supports "head recognition" to capture the head of a person facing away from you, and "body recognition" to capture the entire image of a small, distant subject. The camera automatically determines your shooting intent based on the angle of view and maintains focus while minimizing background blur. Advances in deep learning and faster recognition processing have significantly improved the tracking and speed of face, eye, and body recognition. Animal recognition* also provides excellent focus performance for animals. *Recognition is limited to birds, canines (including wolves), and felines (including lions). Powerful image stabilization system for 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, image sensor, and accelerometer. The result is image stabilization equivalent to 6.5 shutter stops, significantly more effective than previous models (5 shutter stops). It further supports shooting in previously difficult situations, such as low light, enabling more mobile shooting and further expanding the scope of expression. It also features the latest video image stabilization algorithm adopted in the new full-frame mirrorless camera "DC-S1H," providing natural, seamless image stabilization during video capture.
Various features enabling live streaming: The wireless IP streaming function uses high-speed, high-capacity, low-latency 5G communications to enable 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 easy live streaming. Furthermore, using "LUMIX Network Setting Software," you can export streaming service stream keys and various 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 enjoy smooth wireless live streaming without using a smart device.
Built-in noise reference microphone suppresses recording of internal camera operating sounds. In addition to the L/R channels for stereo audio recording, the camera is equipped with a noise reference microphone inside that monitors and suppresses the drive noise of interchangeable lenses and noise transmitted within the camera. By suppressing operating noise that can be noticeable when shooting video in quiet environments, the original sound of the scene can be recorded with greater emphasis. In addition, wind noise can be reduced, allowing video recording with reduced noise both inside and outside the camera. Even in scenes that require high-quality audio, such as LPCM or high-resolution audio, unnecessary noise can be suppressed to preserve beautiful footage.
