Panasonic GH5S video features
To a stills photographer, this camera’s video specifications might not look particularly remarkable. It shoots 4K video, but so do many others, and it also shoots the slightly wider Cinema 4K (DCI 4K) format, which has a ratio of 17:9 rather than 16:9.
It can, however, shoot both at 50p/60p frame rates, which is altogether less common, and requires serious processing power, which inevitably comes at a price. Panasonic’s own LUMIX GH5 can shoot 4K UHD video at 50p/60p, but not in the wider Cinema 4K aspect ratio.

UHD 4K recording is also supported along with Full HD at up to 240 fps for slow-motion playback.
