The Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S Mirrorless Digital Camera Body, step up to the professional grade Panasonic Lumix GH5s C4K mirrorless camera that offers over 29 Lumix and Leica compact lens options built on the next-generation (ILC) interchangeable lens camera standard [Micro Four Thirds] pioneered by Panasonic. Its "mirrorless" design enables the high performance, durability, mobility, and low light gathering needed for professional Cinematic and Anamorphic 4K video production.
The Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S Mirrorless Digital Camera Body includes cutting-edge C4K: 60p50p 4:2:0 8-bit, 30p25p24p 4:2:2 10-bit, 4K: 60p50p 4:2:0 8-bit, 30p25p24p 4:2:2 10-bit recording* with unlimited recording. The GH5s comes pre-installed with HDR Hybrid Log Gamma and Panasonic's V-LogL along with professional grade exposure tools like Time Code sync, Waveform, Vector Scopes, and programmable Zebra patters. The Lumix GH5s supports important recording features like 14bit RAW for stills, dual native IS0, Panasonic XLR mic Adaptor support, and the return of multi-aspect capture.
*Use of SD memory card with video speed class 60 or higher is recommended for 4K All-Intra video recording. Operation is confirmed with Panasonic SD memory card with video speed class 90.
4:2:2 10-bit Internal Recording
The Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S Mirrorless Digital Camera Body is capable of internal SD card capture of 4:2:2 10-bit C4K/4K video recording without the banding so prone to 8-bit. Plus simultaneously feed 4:2:2 10-bit real-time image output through its full-size HDMI port (Type A) to an external monitor or recorder*. It is suitable for professional video making that requires accurate monitoring of the imagery or high-quality recording to external codec devices (such as ProRes). 400Mbps (ALL-Intra) high bitrate recording mode is also available.
A cable lock holder for the HDMI cable is bundled with the Lumix GH5s to prevent cable disconnection problems.
*C4K/4K 4:2:2 10-bit 60p/50p video is output only.
3,680k-dot, Large OLED LVF
A super high-resolution 3,680k-dot OLED LVF (Live View Finder) provides improved visibility, even under direct sunlight. Plus a high 0.76x magnification (35mm camera equivalent) clarifies image detail, and a smooth display at 120-fps with minimal time lag.
Anamorphic Video Mode
Ideal for recording with 'squeezed' cinematic filmmaking lenses. In anamorphic desqueeze display mode, images are displayed in a cinemascope aspect ratio.
- Wave Form Monitor & Vectorscope: To check brightness, luminance or chroma colour balance.
- Like709 Gamma (ITU-R BT.709) & Knee Control: Luminance Level 64-1023 / 64-940 / 0-1023 (10-bit)
- Broadcast flexibility for post-production: For choice of video luma levels
Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi® 5GHz
Panasonic's LUMIX Image App for Android / iOS through Bluetooth 4.2 (Low Energy) enables remote shutter release, and video record Start / Stop. Plus this full-time connection between the camera and mobile device consumes less energy. After shooting, it automatically switches to a fast Wi-Fi 5GHz (IEEE802.11ac) connection to transfer data to your mobile device of JPEG and RAW files.
DMW-BGGH5 Battery Grip
By using two batteries one in the camera and the other in the grip* exclusively designed for the GH5 and GH5s, the optional DMW-BGGH5 doubles the battery life for extended shooting. It also makes gripping more comfortable during vertical shooting. Exclusively designed for the Lumix GH5s, the DMW-BGGH5 perfectly matches the camera, boasting splash/dust/freeze-proof rugged design with a joystick controller.
*A battery pack is not included in the DMW-BGGH5.
DMW-XLR1 Microphone
The optional DMW-XLR1 enables high-grade stereo recording with an attached XLR microphone (2 channels left and right) for professional video production. High-res sound recording* at 96kHz/24bit is also selectable. The DMW-XLR1 features an easy-to-use design with convenient physical switches/dials. The DC power is supplied via the cameras shoe connector.
*In MOV only.
"Lumix Tether" Camera Control PC Software
The Lumix GH5s allows tethered shooting via USB with "LUMIX Tether" PC software. It enables camera control and shooting while checking the image on a large PC screen. Plus it supports both video and 4K PHOTO, to greatly assists professional workflows in commercial photoshoots.
Multiple Aspect Ratios A Lumix GH5S Exclusive!
The Lumix GH5s sensor is capable of multiple aspect ratios; 4:3, 17:9, 16:9 and 3:2. Thanks to broad margins of effective pixels, focal length does not change in these aspect ratios. Available for still photography, 4K and C4K video, and in Anamorphic mode, this function allows you to fully leverage the angle of view of the lens for more creative options.
Also, even while using a larger sensor, high readout speeds are achieved. Rolling shutter distortion, compared to the Lumix GH5, is suppressed by approximately 1.3x with high readout speeds when recording video or using an electronic shutter.
Dual SD Card Slots
The Lumix GH5s is equipped with dual SD card slots for larger capacity recording and efficient file arrangement. Relay mode allows you to swap a full card out for an empty card so you can virtually record endlessly. The backup mode allows you to record continuously on one card, while you start and stop recording on the other card. Simultaneous record mode duplicates your recording on both cards. Both slots are compatible with high-speed, high-capacity UHS-II Video Speed Class 60 cards for high bitrate video recording.
4K 60-fps Burst
Shoot with extended burst, then choose and extract the exact frames you want to keep. The ultrahigh-speed 4K PHOTO mode at 60-fps with approximately 8-megapixels resolution freezes even faster motion which is simply not possible in conventional cameras. The Lumix GH5s truly does make moments unmissable.
Precise Focusing Even in -5EV Situations
Renowned LUMIX low-light AF performance has evolved to enable shooting down to the level of -5EV. This allows you to focus precisely even under the lighting of a starlit sky, ideal for shooting nighttime nature scenes and documentaries.
