a 4K HDR recording mode using the new Hybrid Log Gamma Mode (HLG) which can be selected in the Photo Style function. In addition, 4K HLG content can be recorded at a low bit rate for playback on HEVC-compatible devices such as Panasonic 4K HDR TVs higher resolution (effectively 18 megapixels) when capturing 4:3 video using anamorphic lenses. In addition, the new Anamorphic Desqueeze Display mode allows you to view a magnified image while recording with 2.0x and 1.33x anamorphic lenses. The Video Guide Line mode allows you to display images during recording in different formats such as Cinescope, 16:9 and 1:1. This mode can be used not only for anamorphic images, but also in other Shooting modes. ![]() The extra features in detail: In video mode, AF tracking has been optimized -- for example, the starting point of a self-defined focus can be selected on the live screen of the camera prior to AF tracking. In general, autofocus should work more precisely with low-contrast subjects. There are also improvements to the image stabilization, it is supposed to support 2.0x and 1.33x anamorphic lenses in line with the new shooting mode. A new I. S. Lock mode informs the camera that any horizontal movements of the camera are not intended and should be compensated if possible. A new feature is the possibility to control the GH5 via USB via a free Tethering Windows/OS X software - for this purpose all control elements and recording options of the GH5 can be operated on the computer and there is a full screen preview (at least in Photo mode) with the possibility to save the pictures directly on the PC. The GH5 increases performance in 4K and 6K photo mode: the waiting time from one burst to the next is halved;[Loop Rec] in[6K Photo] (Panasonic recommends the use of Panasonic Video Speed Class 90 SD cards for this purpose) In addition to some minor improvements in operation, a bug in Relay Recording / Backup Recording is also fixed, so that the file numbering should now be reliable and error-free. The image quality should also be improved when using some settings (Extended low ISO, Intelligent D-range Control and Highlight Shadow). ![]() ALL-Intra 4:2:2 10bit recording mode ![]() Optimization of anamorphic video recordings ![]() deutsche Version dieser Seite: GH5 Firmwareupdate 2.0 bringt ALL-Intra mit 400 Mbps, 4K HLG HDR Video und mehr // IFA 2017 |
