LUMIX DC-GH5 SPECIAL GALLERY
STORY BEHIND
“Inspired by beautiful ice blocks used by New York City bartenders, I wanted to understand how crystal clear cocktail ice cubes are created. Shooting in 4K, the LUMIX GH5 perfectly captures the gorgeous close-up details of carved ice. But this story also features chisels and chainsaws—ice flakes spraying through the air.”
“To capture all of this fine detail with minimal motion blur, I need a higher framerate. 60p recording captures twice as much information, reducing judder in my pans and jib shots. And with double the shutter speed, each frame is clearer. Whether played back at full speed or in slow motion, 4K 60p lets me immerse my audience in much more visual detail. The LUMIX GH5 is the perfect camera for this film.”
4K 60P VIDEO “HAND-CUT”
GH5 HANDS-ON IMPRESSION
“Keeping all the great features I’ve relied on with my LUMIX GH4—like focus peaking and time lapse—the addition of in-body image stabilization 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 to the LUMIX GH5 a game changer. My favorite prime lenses without O.I.S. no longer jitter in handheld shots!”
“I’m really pleased with the image detail off the camera, using the built-in color profiles, especially in 4K 60p. And because I prefer wide shots, I love that 4K now captures the full sensor size. As a documentary filmmaker, I appreciate that the LUMIX GH5 retains an unobtrusive, compact size, while managing to add full-size HDMI and dual SD card slots.”
