Product Description
Introducing the Panasonic Lumix GH5 Mark II Camera Body Only.
A robust, versatile tool built for professional videographers, filmmakers, and content creators. With its splash, dust, and freeze-resistant construction and cutting-edge video capabilities, this camera is designed to perform in any environment, from studio shoots to rugged outdoor locations.
Durable Design for Any Environment
The Panasonic Lumix GH5 Mark II is built to withstand the elements. Its magnesium alloy body is splash, dust, and freeze-resistant down to -10°C, making it an ideal companion for creators who shoot in challenging conditions. Whether you're filming in freezing temperatures or a dusty desert, the GH5 Mark II is tough enough to handle it. Additionally, the camera features a double SD memory card slot, compatible with V90-classified UHS-II cards, allowing for Relay, Backup, and Allocation Recording.
Wireless and Wired Live Streaming Capabilities
One of the standout features of the GH5 Mark II is its ability to stream high-quality video with minimal equipment. With wireless live streaming, all you need is a smartphone with the LUMIX Sync app to broadcast both indoors and outdoors. The camera complies with the RTMP/RTMPS protocol, using the H.264 codec, and supports resolutions up to FHD/60p at 16Mbps. For those who prefer wired streaming, the LUMIX Webcam Software is available for free download, making the GH5 Mark II a versatile solution for live events, virtual meetings, or vlogs.
Cinematic-Quality Video Performance
The Lumix GH5 Mark II offers unlimited video recording across a range of settings, making it perfect for professional video production. The camera uses the entire sensor area for video capture, ensuring you get uncropped footage from the full angle of the lens. It supports internal recording up to 4K 60p and 4:2:2 10-bit 30p, allowing for richly detailed and color-accurate footage.
For filmmakers, the camera comes pre-installed with V-Log L, which delivers a flat image profile ideal for color grading in post-production. Additionally, there are 35 compatible conversion LUTs available for download, enabling seamless integration with VariCam cinema cameras.
The GH5 Mark II’s video toolkit includes practical features like a Waveform Monitor and V-Log View Assist, providing precise control during shoots. For slow-motion enthusiasts, the camera supports Variable Frame Rate (VFR) recording, offering options like C4K/4K at 60fps, Anamorphic 50fps, and FHD 180fps—perfect for creative video projects.
Advanced Stabilization and Versatile Tools
Shooting handheld? The Body Image Stabilization (IS) ensures stable footage, even without a tripod. The GH5 Mark II’s stabilization system makes it easier than ever to capture smooth, shake-free video, whether you're on the move or using telephoto lenses.
With the advanced free-angle touch LCD, you can easily frame your shots. The frame marker function allows you to check compositions in common aspect ratios like 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 4:5, 5:4, and 9:16, ensuring you’re ready for any format.
A red recording frame indicator clearly signals when the camera is recording, both on the screen and in the EVF, while a blue streaming indicator shows when you’re live streaming—keeping you in control of every moment.
Reliable Power for Long Shoots
The Panasonic Lumix GH5 Mark II comes with a high-capacity 2200mAh battery (DMW-BLK22), which supports USB Power Delivery (PD) for efficient recharging via AC or USB. This ensures you can keep shooting without interruptions, whether you’re in the studio or on location.
