Panasonic will release the top model of Micro Four Thirds digital cameras "LUMIX GH6" on March 25th. The price is an open price, and the estimated retail price of the body only is around 263,000 yen. The lens kit that comes with "LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-60mm / F2.8-4.0 ASPH. / POWER OIS" is around 337,000 yen. [See another image about this article] Mirrorless digital interchangeable-lens cameras are often talked about mainly for full-size sensor products, but the GH6 incorporates high-quality video recording functions that partially surpass full-size machines. , Various video expressions are possible. Still, it is more compact and lighter than a full-size camera, has excellent portability and mobility, and has the advantages of being able to enhance lenses and peripherals by keeping prices down, and the theme is "not full-size, choices". Developed to. It was born as a camera that appeals not only to Micro Four Thirds users but also to creators who pursue creativity. The image processing engine is newly developed and is equipped with a "new generation Venus engine" that has about twice the computing power of the full-size high-end camera "S1H". In addition to greatly improving image quality and AF performance, it also realizes a variety of video recording modes. Due to the improved processing capacity, the "new intelligent detail" improves the accuracy of discriminating the flat detail edge of the subject. Improved resolution and stereoscopic effect. In addition, "new 2D noise reduction" that suppresses color noise and improves the graininess of luminance noise is also installed. The "high-performance 3D-NR" that can be used when shooting movies has improved the ability to discriminate between still images and moving parts, and improved the image quality of moving images. The sensor to be installed is a newly developed 25.2 million pixel Live MOS with no low-pass filter. It has excellent high resolution and high speed, and achieves approximately 100 million pixel recording in "high resolution shooting" that records high pixels by shifting the sensor. Even movies can be shot at 5.7K. A sensor read of up to 300 fps is realized, and high-speed read of 120 fps is possible even for 4K video. Taking advantage of high speed, rolling shutter is also suppressed. The new function "Dynamic Range Boost" acquires "saturation priority" images that use a low ISO circuit and low noise priority images that use a high ISO circuit with a single exposure. The two types of images are combined for each pixel to achieve a dynamic range of up to 13+ stops. It is said that high gradation performance can be demonstrated even in scenes with a large difference in brightness. The ISO sensitivity settings for which this dynamic range boost is effective are ISO 800-12800 (base sensitivity ISO 800) for standard / cine-like D2 / cine-like V2 / 709-like, and ISO 2000-12800 (base sensitivity ISO) for V-Log / HLG. 2000). In addition, because of the calculation performance, when using the creative video mode, it is not possible to shoot video at 60 fps or higher. For video recording, it supports V-Log and V-Gamut. In post-production, it is easier to match images with video materials shot with a cinema camera. The video recording mode has also been renewed. LUMIX's first 5.7K (5,728 x 2,024 dots) / 60p, C4 (Cinema 4K 4,096 x 2,160 dots) / 120p, and Apple ProRes 422 HQ recording mode. In addition, in various recording modes, it is possible to shoot with a crop press that makes full use of the sensor, and 10-bit recording is also realized. Specifically, 4K 120p (4: 2: 0 10bit) and 4K 60/48/30 / 24p (4: 2: 2 10bit) at 16: 9 o'clock. For 17: 9, 5.7K 60/48/30 / 24p (4: 2: 0 10bit), for C4K 120p (4: 2: 0 10bit), C4K 60/48/30 / 24p (4: 2) : 2 10bit) can be taken. Furthermore, for shooting with an anamorphic lens, resolution priority 5.8KA (5,760 x 4,320 dots) / 30 / 24p (4: 2: 0 10bit) mode and frame rate priority 4.4KA (4,352 x 3,264 dots) 60 / 48p (4: 2: 0 10bit) mode is available. It expands the degree of freedom in cinematic expression using flare and blur. The recording bit rate has also been greatly improved. Apple ProRes supports 1 to 1.9 Gbps, ALL-Intra supports 200 to 800 Mbps, and LongGOP supports 20 to 300 Mbps. 5.7K / 60p shooting is LUMIX's first support, and it is possible to record C4K and 4K videos with high resolution, oversampling from 5.7K. While using the above-mentioned dynamic range 13+ boost, 5.7K / 60p 4: 2: 0 10bit recording is possible. Apple ProRes 422HQ, a low-compression intermediate codec widely used in the post-production industry, can record 5.7K / 30p (only when recording on a CFexpress card). While reducing the load on the PC during editing work, non-linear editing is possible without the need for transcoding, so it can be conveniently used for business purposes such as delivery with ProRes 422 HQ. For the first time with LUMIX, C4K / 60p 4: 2: 2 10bit recording time is unlimited. In S1H, it becomes C4K / 30p 4: 2: 2 10bit, and in GH5II, there is a heat limit at C4K / 60p 4: 2: 0 10bit, and GH6 has higher performance than those. Restrictions are relaxed even in slow motion shooting, 10-bit recording is possible in all modes, and grading resistance is greatly improved. For 10-bit high frame rate recording for non-linear editing, C4K / 4K 120p (up to 5x slow), 48p (up to 2x slow), full HD 240p (up to 10x slow), 120p (up to 5x slow) , 48p (double slow) is achieved. In the case of 10bit variable frame rate that directly records slow motion video by freely setting the shooting frame rate and recording frame rate in the camera, 120p → 24p (up to 5 times slow), 1fps → 60p (maximum) at C4K / 4K 60x quick), 300fps → 24p (12.5x slow), 1fps → 60p (60x quick) in full HD. ■ Evolved audio aspect In terms of audio, it supports 48kHz / 24bit recording with the built-in microphone and external microphone. XLR input audio can be recorded at 48 / 96kHz 24bit. In addition, it supports LUMIX's first 4ch audio recording. For example, it is possible to record a human voice with a handheld microphone (XLR 1) or shotgun microphone (XLR 2), and record the surrounding ambient sound as an ambient microphone with a built-in camera / external microphone for 2 channels. It is also possible to record the voices of multiple people with a lavalier microphone x 2 and record the ambient sound with a built-in / external ambient microphone. It is also possible to record sounds with the same directivity and purpose with different microphones, and use it as a backup in case of abnormal noise such as touch noise or recording mistakes. ■ Improved usability The shooting assist function has also evolved. The V-Log view assist function now supports .cube and can share post-production LUTs. The MF assist function supports enlarged display of live video view (up to 60 fps). It also has functions such as displaying a safety zone marker and displaying a red frame during video recording. The image stabilization function has also evolved. By adopting a high-definition gyro sensor and optimizing the algorithm, LUMIX has achieved the highest number of correction steps of 7.5 (6.5 for GH5II and G9) and smooth correction when shooting movies. By combining this camera shake correction with sensor shift and the above-mentioned high-performance image processing engine, the 100 million pixel "high resolution shooting" function using sensor shift has evolved, and even "handheld" 100 million pixel high resolution shooting Is now possible. "High resolution" is newly added to the mode dial, and a mode that prioritizes resolution and a mode that suppresses subject blur are also available. High-speed continuous shooting of still images is also possible. Achieves up to 75 frames per second in AF-S mode and electronic shutter. Even with a mechanical shutter, you can shoot continuously in 14 frames. Although it does not have image plane phase detection AF, AF performance has also improved due to the evolution of the image processing engine and the improvement of the algorithm. The AF calculation speed has been tripled, and the algorithm has improved appearance, background omission, followability, and light source compatibility. In the AF area, the number of AF points and coverage have been greatly improved from the conventional 225 points to 315 points. Face / pupil recognition AF and animal recognition AF can also be used, and the combination of these recognition AFs can now be finely set in the AF menu. For example, while turning on the face / pupil recognition AF, you can turn off the human body recognition so that the AF does not eat other than the main subject. A focus limiter that limits the AF drive range can also be set. ■ Equipped with a tilt-free angle monitor on the back The monitor on the back is a 1.84 million pixel LCD. A tilt-free angle mechanism is used so that it does not interfere with the HDMI terminal. The viewfinder is a 3.68 million pixel OLED that also supports simultaneous display with the rear monitor. The photographer can use the viewfinder to shoot while flipping the monitor to show the subject. It also ensures reliability and robustness. A fan is mounted inside to suppress overheating, and magnesium alloy is used for the body material. It is both lightweight and durable. A sealing structure is used for the joints and operating members to achieve dustproof, drip-proof, and low-temperature resistance of -10 degrees. In addition to SD cards, CFexpress Type B is also supported as a recording medium. Supports recording of video files with a larger amount of data. Equipped with HDMI A terminal and USB terminal compatible with USB PD. Time code synchronization can also be performed by BNC conversion from the synchro terminal. The battery uses a large capacity battery of 2,250mAh. On the other hand, the battery "BFL19" owned by the conventional GH user can also be used, but when using the conventional battery, it is up to C4K / 60p, and high frame rate and high resolution mode cannot be used. The weight including the main body, battery and SD card is 823g. ■ Performance improvement after release is planned Even after release, performance improvement is planned by firmware update. Supports C4K 120p video RAW data output for use in combination with ATOMOS NINJA V +. As an enhancement to Apple ProRes support, it supports C4K and full HD Apple ProRes 422 / 422HQ (release date is 5.7K / 30p compatible). In addition, we plan to support 4K / 120p HDMI video output and USB SSD recording. ■ Online events will be held one after another under the title of "CREATORS LIVE WITH LUMIX GH6", and videos will be distributed on YouTube LIVE from 19:00 on February 23rd. It is said that more detailed information and the appeal of GH6 can be found through product introductions from manufacturers and talks by creators. In addition, various live distribution programs are planned for CP + 2022, which will be held online. Also, from February 24th to 27th, a touch and try event with a complete reservation system will be held at LUMIX BASE TOKYO in Tokyo. See the product page for more details on these. ■ Cashback campaign Along with the announcement of GH6, we will also carry out a cashback campaign limited to pre-order purchasers. The purchase period is until March 24th, and the application period is April 10th. For the body only or the lens kit, 20,000 yen will be cashed back for the body only, and 30,000 yen for the lens kit. In addition, a Lexar Professional CFexpress card will be presented as a pre-order limited gift.
