Panasonic rolls out GH5 firmware 2.0 update

Panasonic GH5: price, specs, release date confirmed
News

Panasonic has officially released firmware update Version 2.0 for the GH5, announced in August and which adds a slew of new advanced video features aimed at professionals.

As far as firmware updates go, Panasonic’s GH5 firmware Version 2.0 is a doozy, adding more improvements than most camera upgrades.

Chief among the new features added with GH5 firmware version 2.0 is the addition of a 4:2:2,10bit ALL-Intra video recording mode to the GH5’s 4K/FHD video recording.

It also adds a High-resolution Anamorphic mode, which enables video recording 18 mega effective pixels.

Panasonic’s GH5 firmware version 2.0 also adds a number of enhancements to the camera’s autofocus system. In particular, the company says the GH5’s AF system can now better cope with low-contrast subjects in still image mode, while the firmware improves the AF tracking in video recording.

Other AF enhancements include:

  • The customised AF area can be continuously displayed in Multi AF and Custom Multi AF during live-view.
  • The AF area in Multi AF can be moved to the other edge (side, top or bottom) when it reaches one edge.
  • The start point of AF lock can be set on the live view screen in advance of AF Tracking.
  • The AF area can be moved while the shutter button is half-pressed or while recording in Burst Mode, 6K PHOTO and 4K PHOTO modes.

You can download the firmware from Panasonic’s website.
