Panasonic Lumix PAN-DC-GH5M2ME GH5MK2 Camera with 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 Lumix Lens

Panasonic Lumix PAN-DC-GH5M2ME (PAN/DC/GH5M2ME, PAN_DC_GH5M2ME, DCGH5M2ME, DC-GH5M2ME, pan_dc-gh5m2me) GH5MK2 Camera with 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 Lumix Lens

Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5M2 Mirrorless Camera with 12-60mm Lumix Lens 

Introducing the LUMIX GH5M2, a new Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera that boasts outstanding video performance evolved from the renowned GH5. 

In an update to the well loved GH5, a mirrorless camera revered and used by thousands of film makers, vloggers, photographers, producers across the world, Panasonic have taken its video capabilities to the max with the GH5M2. Featuring monster 4K video specs, including C4K/4K 60p 4:2:0 10-bit unlimited video recording with simultaneously output 4K 4:2:2 10-bit over HDMI.

The LUMIX GH5M2 is also capable of wireless live streaming in FHD/60p via the LUMIX Sync smartphone app, or by connecting directly to a Wi-Fi router. In addition, it will receive a future firmware update to add RTP/RTSP wired IP streaming.

The 20.3-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor has had a slight glow-up with AR (Anti-Reflective) coating capturing details cleanly and driving excellent lens performance. The image processor has also been updated to use the latest high-speed and high-performance Venus Engine.

For run and gun shooters and photographers using long-lenses looking for stable shooting, the Body I.S. (Image Stabiliser) in the LUMIX GH5M2 is now even more advanced, making it possible to use a 6.5-stop slower shutter speed. With the adoption of the latest algorithm developed for the S1H, video recording is smooth and stable even when the camera is in motion.

A 3.0-inch free-angle LCD with a 3:2 aspect ratio and high resolution of 1840K dots provides touch control. Compared to the GH5, the LCD features higher luminosity and superior colour reproduction to ensure high visibility outdoors.

Wireless live streaming with minimal equipment

High-quality live streaming is possible both indoors and outdoors with minimal equipment: just the LUMIX GH5M2 and a smartphone with the LUMIX Sync app. In compliance with the RTMP/RTMPS protocol using the H.264 codec, a maximum resolution/framerate of FHD/60p at 16Mbps is supported.

For wired live streaming, the dedicated LUMIX Webcam Software is available for free download.

High quality video performance

The LUMIX GH Series features outstanding video performance for professional videography and the LUMIX GH5M2 is no exception, capable of unlimited video recording in a variety of settings. When shooting video, the GH5M2’s entire sensor area is used, enabling the user to record uncropped video from the original viewing angle of the lens. Video recording options are vast, offering internal recording up to 4K 60p and 4:2:2 10-bit 30p, or 4K/6K Anamorphic modes.

To deliver high dynamic range and a broad colour spectrum, V-Log L is pre-installed in the camera, making it easy to match the colour tone with footage recorded in the S1H/S1’s V-Log and the GH5/GH5S’s V-Log L. V-Log L renders a very flat image while retaining all its colour information, which is a great benefit in post-production processing. For users who prefer to have a starting point for post-processing, there are 35 compatible conversion LUTs for VariCam cinema cameras available for free download. Practical tools like a Waveform Monitor and V-Log View Assist are also part of the GH5M2’s on-board video toolkit.

Like the S1H video flagship camera of the S Series, the LUMIX GH5M2 provides two types of Cinelike gamma presets in the Photo Style menu. These modes create impressive looks with warm skin tones or delicate nuances of light and shadow even without colour grading over V-Log footage. The Cinelike D2 preset gives priority to dynamic range, while Cinelike V2 prioritizes contrast. L.Monochrome S and L.Classic Neo have also been added. All these presets are also available in Anamorphic mode.

In VFR (Variable Frame Rate) recording, C4K/4K 60fps, Anamorphic 50fps and FHD 180fps are available. AF can be set before starting VFR recording.  

A reliable tool for professionals

Tough enough to withstand heavy fielduse, the LUMIX GH5M2’s full die-cast front/rear frame is composed of a magnesium alloy and the body is splash, dust, and freeze resistant down to -10 degrees Celsius. The shutter unit is also durable for approximately 200,000 cycles. 

To further support use outdoors, the camera boasts a new high-capacity 2200mAh battery (DMW-BLK22) that complies with USB PD (Power Delivery) and can be recharged via AC or USB. The LUMIX GH5M2 is equipped with a double SD memory card slot compatible with V90-classified, high-speed, high-capacity UHS-II cards for Relay, Backup and Allocation Recording.

With the advanced free-angle touch LCD, users can utilise the frame marker function to check the composition during recording in various common aspect ratios such as 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 4:5, 5:4 and 9:16. The red recording frame indicator on the screen and in the EVF clearly signals whether the camera is recording, while a new blue indicator shows when the camera is streaming.
