Panasonic GH5S
The new features of GH5S firmware version 2.0.
1. improved autofocus performance:
- Eyes and faces can be detected at twice the speed (compared to the current firmware) and people / animals at five times the speed. These objects can be detected even if they appear at about half the size in the image.
- In addition, the tracking and detection performance of autofocus has been improved with the addition of head detection, and human / animal detection can be set to ON or OFF when AF mode is set to[1 Area].
2. output RAW video data via HDMI:
With the new firmware, a 12-bit RAW video signal can be output via HDMI at 4K or anamorphic (4:3) 3.7K resolution and recorded as Apple ProRes RAW using the Atomos Ninja V recorder (with firmware version 10.66). A special LUT (lookup table) designed exclusively for RAW video recorded with Ninja V is available on the following customer support website available to perform the same colorization in V-Log/V-Gamut. It simplifies matching with footage from Panasonic Varicam and EVA1 cameras.
3. new video functions:
