A unique system designed specifically for professional image quality in low light
With a body identical to that of the GH5, the GH5S is equipped with the GH5S's 10.2-megapixel Live MOS sensor, combined with Dual Native ISO Technology from VariCam and the GH5's Venus Engine processor. It delivers an image as close to reality as possible, particularly in the darkest areas, for high-sensitivity recording up to ISO 51200. The magnesium-alloy body is fully weatherproof for working in adverse conditions, and the physical controls have been improved for easier tactile control.
Incredible detail in extreme low-light conditions
The GH5S features new Dual Native ISO technology. It uses a dual noise processing circuit, with two different native ISO levels. At high ISOs, the GH5S switches to the second circuit, perfectly adapted to their processing, to obtain ultra-clean, detailed sequences in low light.
Highlights:
10.28MP Live digital MOS sensor and Venus processor
The camera is specifically designed for low-light shooting and high-resolution video recording. It features a 10.28-megapixel MOS Live Digital sensor and Venus processor, ideal for capturing the finest details, maximizing sharpness and detail, whatever the difficult lighting conditions. Its design preserves the native angle of view of a lens despite changes in image format. What's more, the combination of sensors and processors uses high playback speeds and eliminates shutter distortion, when recording video or working with the electronic shutter. Dual Native ISO technology uses ISO 400 and ISO 2500 as the base sensitivity for low noise levels. The global native sensitivity range extends from ISO 160-51200 and can be extended to ISO 80-204800.
DCI and UHD 4K video recording
The GH5S can record DCI 4K at up to 60 fps and 150 Mbp. UHD 4K recording is also supported, with Full HD up to 240 fps for slow-motion playback. A full-size HDMI port is present on the camera for high-quality 4: 2: 2 10-bit output. In addition, the GH5S offers gamma settings suitable for capturing a wide dynamic range. V-Log L (pre-installed) captures a flat, neutral gamma curve.
Three video control modes can also be used: shutter time / ISO, shutter angle / ISO or shutter time / dB to meet production needs worldwide.
Still image recording and depth-of-focus AF system
Low-light capabilities and fast readout speeds make it ideal for working in difficult lighting conditions or photographing fast-moving subjects. For shooting in 12-bit mode, and working with AF-S, it is possible to shoot continuously at up to 12 fps, as well as a frame rate of 8 fps with AF-C. For accelerated autofocus performance, advanced DFD (Depth-From-Defocus) technology is used to quickly calculate the distance to subjects and adjust the focus position in as little as 0.05 seconds.
Sensitivity and speed can be adjusted to further enhance performance. It also features 225 autofocus zones.
4K PHOTO modes
The camera features 3 still shooting modes, ideal for recording continuous 8MP still images at a frame rate of 60 or 30 fps. ("Burst" mode, "Pre-Burst" mode and "Burst (S / S)" mode).
Integrated functions and Wi-Fi
The 3.2" rear RGBW LCD with 1.62 m viewing angle, features a higher tilt and swivel angle to manage different viewing angles. Its touch screen offers intuitive menu navigation.
Optimized for night shooting, the viewfinder and rear screen can be adjusted to benefit from working in low-light conditions. A night mode lets you manage the brightness of the screen and viewfinder, and brightness can be increased by lowering the frame rate and increasing the live view gain for working in extremely dark conditions. The camera is equipped with two UHS-II SD card slots. A joystick on the rear of the camera lets you manage the many parameters and settings. Several assignable function buttons are also available, as well as a dedicated exposure compensation selector.5 GHz built-in Wi-Fi connectivity with NFC and Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy enables wireless image sharing and remote control of the camera from connected smartphones and tablets. Bluetooth LE also provides a constant connection to your mobile device, enabling functions such as geolocation and automatic image transfer.
