Panasonic India moved a step further in the video recording space with the introduction of its LUMIX GH5S – the world’s first high precision cinema 4K recording camera designed specifically for low light scenarios.
The LUMIX GH5S features 5EV luminance detection performance with Low Light AF that aids in higher sensitivity and optimized tuning of the sensor. It is further powered with a LiveView Boost feature that makes it possible to check the composition even in total darkness by boosting the sensitivity just for Live view. The camera has been designed specifically for professional filmmakers such as cinematographers, documentary makers, wedding users and YouTubers.

To further elevate the video expression, GH5S also comes with a Variable Frame Rate Effect (VFR) which allows users to record slow motions and time lapse videos seamlessly in 60 FPS and 240 FPS format, alike. The camera also comes pre-installed with a V logL feature, so users don’t have to purchase a software upgrade key separately.
