The same shooting mode also allows for in-camera focus stacking, for sharper photos. Panasonic has already announced one major firmware update for the GH5, and others will likely arrive throughout its lifespan. RAW files have plenty of wiggle room to adjust color to match a specific style as well.As for photos, the GH5 uses a 20.3-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor (up from 16.4MP in the GH4) that creates excellent detail, enough to pick out more stars in the night sky than you can see with your own eyes. The camera has a nice, solid feel to it and it simply feels well-balanced in the hand. The full-size HDMI port outputs clean, uncompressed video at 10-bit 4:2:2 quality, so you can monitor in real time with a pro-grade display or utilize a dedicated external recorder with ProRes support. The 4K lends more detail to the scene and also allows for more flexibility to zoom or stabilize in post. You also get access to all Q.Menu settings—it's one of the best, fully featured remote control experiences you'll find.Other rear options include a control dial (at the top right), Display, Fn2 (Q.Menu), Fn3 (Focus Area), Fn4 (Delete), and Menu/Set buttons, as well well as a flat command dial that spins to navigate through menus and also sports four-way directional control. If the subject (or the camera) moved, the autofocus didn’t always pick up on the right spot, requiring a half-press of the shutter release to refocus.After five generations of perfecting the formula, Panasonic has succeeded in not stretching the GH5 too thin by trying to be both a video camera and a still camera — performance is right on track in both areas. It shows you the depth of field for the set f-stop, which is a function photographers are used to, but an additional press also adds shutter speed preview. Likewise, there’s a dial for burst mode, the timer, post focus, and 6K photo modes as well.Panasonic incorporated various focus controls to the right of the viewfinder. This also means that framing won’t be cropped, and you’ll be able to use your lenses as if you’re shooting stills.Before we get into the nitty gritty of the Panasonic GH5’s video capabilities, it’s worth noting that its specs offer some advantages for stills photographers too. The Lumix GH5 is the latest in the line of Panasonic's top-of-the-range GH series of mirrorless cameras, which over the years have carved out a niche for themselves among videographers thanks to their breadth of movie-making features.As we've seen on some other recent Micro Four Third cameras, the Panasonic Lumix GH5 features a 20.3MP sensor that forgoes a low pass filter, which should see even more detail squeezed out from the chip.Currently the Lumix GH5 allows you to shoot Cinema 4K (4096 x 2160) at 60p with a bit rate of 150Mbps, while Full HD video is obviously also possible, up to a very impressive 180p.©Future US, Inc. 11 West 42nd Street, 15th Floor,New York,NY 10036.The GH5 gets Panasonic’s Axis Dual IS II anti-shake system.
