Panasonic develops world’s first DSLM camera Lumix GH5

PANASONIC has announced that it has developed a new Digital Single Lens Mirrorless (DSLM) Camera Lumix GH5 that is capable of recording smooth, high-precision 4K 60p/50p and faithful 4:2:2 10-bit 4K video*3 for the first time in the world. It also features ‘6K Photo’ which extracts approximately18- megapixel still images from ultra high-quality video with approximately 9 times the pixel count of Full-HD. The new Lumix GH5 is scheduled for commercialisation and introduction to the global market in early 2017.

Panasonic has been committed to the development of innovative digital cameras under the theme “Create a new photo culture in the digital era.” The world’s first Digital Single Lens Mirrorless camera DMC-G1 was introduced in 2008 and the subsequent DMC-GH1 achieved the world’s first Full HD video recording in 2009.

In 2014, Panasonic introduced the DMC-GH4, which realized 4K 30p/25p video recording for the first time in the industry. At the same time, Panasonic proposed a new and unique method of photography called ‘4K PHOTO’ which allows users to capture fleeting photographic moments that even the eyes cannot catch in 4K resolution at 30 fps to save as high-quality photos.
