compression works on each individual frame rather than on
groups of several frames at a time. Those who shoot in Full
HD will benefit from an additional 200Mbps mode, also with
the enhanced colour and compression characteristics.
In-Camera HDR recording (HLG)
Similar to what Sony did with their FS5 and Z150 pro
camcorders, Panasonic is also adding Hybrid Log Gamma to
the Panasonic GH5 for quick HDR delivery for either the web
or HDR capable TVs. The Gh5 is of course a “hybrid” mirrorless
camera and not a camcorder (official ly), making it the first
mirrorless camera to be able to record in HLG.
New “Full Size” Anamorphic Mode
Firmware Version 2.0 enhances the DC-GH5’s ability to record
anamorphic content with new 6K resolution settings, as
well as giving 4K anamorphic formats the extra bit rates and
colour depth introduced to normal video shooting modes.
Anamorphic shooting is assisted by a new de-squeeze
display mode that compensates for the squeezing effect of
the lens to show what the letterbox-shaped footage will look
like after stretching in post-processing. Guide line options
allow users to preview the area that will be used as well, with
guides selectable for 1:1, 16:9, 2.35:1 and 2.39:1 formats.
