It's capable of UHD 4K video at up to 60p, along with the ability to record 4:2:2 10-bit files at resolutions up to DCI and UHD 4K at 24/30p – a full-size HDMI port is present on the camera for high-quality output at 4:2:2 10-bit in all settings for use with external monitors and recorders.
For more advanced users, multiple picture styles are available to provide a more gradable image, such as Cinelike V and Cinelike D, as well as an in-camera LUT to make monitoring easier. A 4K Anamorphic mode is also available, which will enable you to record in a proper 4:3 ratio for adjustment in post-production.
The GH5 is designed to be an expandable system, with multiple options available to help improve video recording capabilities. Examples of this are an optional V-Log L upgrade and separately available accessories such as the XLR Microphone Adapter, that provides XLR inputs and physical controls through a hot shoe connection. Users can also use standard microphones and headphones via the 3.5mm input and output jacks.
All this paired with a choice of two lenses. First is the f/2.8 12-35mm, which gives you a versatile 24-70mm full frame equivalent, with constant f/2.8 aperture thought the zoom range – and is also compatible with Dual I.S. for enhanced stabilization.
