Features

This camera features a 3-inch LCD-type display with a resolution of 1.84 million dots, and has touch functionality and is fully tiltable. The electronic viewfinder is OLED type, with an incredible resolution.

Video Gallery

Approach

It features an autofocus system with artificial intelligence technology, including new AF tracking algorithms, allowing recognition of subjects and animals, their bodies, faces and eyes, keeping them in focus at all times regardless of whether they are moving. This new system will greatly improve on what has been seen in previous models. We already know that this is a problem that used to plague the brand with its previous cameras.

AF detection range

Its wide dynamic range allows us to capture shots in complex situations and to recover shadows in post-production. Technically speaking, we are talking about: EV -4 – 18 (F2.0, ISO 100 equivalent, AFS)

DFD technology

Thanks to this technology the Panasonic GH6 is able to focus much faster and more sensitive than previous models. This technology is able to detect changes in image structure much faster.

Blast

We have a pretty good burst with up to 14 frames per second in single or manual focus mode and 8 in continuous focus.

Body

The body of this GH6 is sealed against inclement weather that may occur when shooting or taking pictures. We already know that this Panasonic seal is quite rugged due to its construction.

Electronic viewer

The Panasonic GH6 features a 3.68 million dot viewfinder, which is close to and on par with high-end models within the brand such as those seen in the S series.

Display

Its retractable screen is one of the strengths of this camera and why many videographers have decided for years to follow the GH line, this screen has a resolution of 1.84 million pixels and a field of view of 100%.

Stabilizer

The Panasonic’s stabilizer is one of the best on the market, reaching up to 7.5 stops, which will allow us to slow down the shutter speed a lot on occasions when we need it.

Dust and splash resistance

As mentioned above, Panasonic has been the king in this sector for years. Thanks to the care of his body and the materials he uses.

Weight and size

The weight of the GH6 is 739 grams which is slightly higher than its predecessor, the gh5 at 727 grams.

Video

The Panasonic GH6 can record in 5.7K up to 60p and 4K up to 120p, in both cases with 4:2:0 and 10-bit compression. In addition, you can record internally in ProRes 422 H format, which helps to achieve the best possible quality in our videos. Thanks to its frames per second speed we will be able to get super slow motion videos without having to lose quality in the process.

In addition, to a perfect exposure highlighting any type of skin tones. There is also the option to extract high-resolution still images of the videos from the 8K footage and save them as individual JPEG files.

5.7K 10-bit 60p/50p 5.7K recording

Thanks to the 5.7K (5728 x 3024) 10-bit 4:2:0 at 60p/50p (17:9) and 5.8K (5760 x 4320) at 30p/25p/24p 10-bit 4:2:0 anamorphic (4:3) modes, the LUMIX GH6 offers higher resolution and bit rate than ever before, providing the ultimate in high image quality, versatility and expressive range – much needed for film, television and all types of video productions.

Unlimited video recording time

The LUMIX GH6 offers internal C4K/4K recording at 60p/50p 4:2:2 10-bit 4:2:2. It also allows simultaneous internal and external recording through the HDMI output.

Opinion

The Panasonic GH6 is a very nice upgrade from the previous model Panasonic GH5 II. It has a higher frame rate per second and its sensor has optimized the resolution of its images. If you are looking for a camera with which to record videos this can be a very good option, since the quality of this is very good, as well as the duration, you can record up to 5.7K quality up to 60p, even super slow motion videos, with great detail. In addition, this new model also incorporates the new AF tracking systems, so you don’t have to worry so much about whether the subject is in focus or not.
