Product Description
Introducing the Panasonic LUMIX GH6 Camera.
The latest in Panasonic’s renowned GH series, designed to meet the demands of professional videographers and filmmakers. Featuring a 25.2-megapixel Live MOS Sensor, 7.5-stop 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 stabilization, and unlimited 5.7K 60p/50p 10-bit video recording, the GH6 pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in a Micro Four Thirds camera. With powerful new features such as the Venus Engine, 100MP high-resolution mode, and dual card slots for CFexpress and SD cards, the GH6 is built to handle any creative challenge.
Cutting-Edge Design and Build
The LUMIX GH6 has been expertly crafted from magnesium alloy, ensuring a lightweight yet durable body that's perfect for both on-the-go and studio filming. Its rugged construction is dust, splash, and freeze-resistant, allowing you to shoot in even the toughest environments. Whether you're shooting outdoors or in a challenging production setting, the GH6 is built to last.
The camera is equipped with dual card slots, giving you maximum flexibility for storage and data transfer. Slot 1 supports CFexpress Ver2.0 Type B cards, ideal for high-speed, large-capacity data transfer, while Slot 2 is for SD UHS-II UHS3 V90 memory cards, offering broad compatibility for various shooting formats.
Unmatched Video Capabilities
The LUMIX GH6 is designed with the videographer in mind. It delivers 5.7K 60p/50p 10-bit recording and C4K/4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording with no time limit, making it perfect for long shoots and high-quality video production. The Venus Engine enhances image processing for stunning color accuracy and low noise, even in high-resolution video formats. This combination ensures that your footage is both vibrant and detailed, with smooth tonal gradations for professional-level output.
For added versatility, the GH6 supports 4K 120p via HDMI 2.1 for super-smooth high-frame-rate video capture, ideal for slow-motion footage. The Tilt & Free-Angle 3.0” touchscreen offers 1840k-dot resolution, providing an easy-to-navigate display for quick adjustments. Even with HDMI and USB cables attached, the display is fully adjustable, allowing seamless operation during shoots.
Revolutionary 7.5-Stop Image Stabilization
Building on the success of its predecessor, the GH6 features an advanced 7.5-stop 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 system, setting a new standard for stabilization. With an ultra-high-precision gyro sensor, the camera compensates for hand-shake, making it possible to shoot at 7.5 stops slower shutter speeds. This powerful stabilization system ensures shake-free footage, even with telephoto lenses or in challenging shooting conditions. Whether you're filming handheld or in dynamic environments, the GH6 delivers smooth, stable video that rivals footage captured with a gimbal.
Everything a Videographer Needs
As with every GH series camera, the LUMIX GH6 is packed with features designed to give videographers everything they need to bring their creative visions to life. From 5.7K high-resolution video to superb image stabilization, this camera is a powerhouse for professionals. The V-Log L feature delivers a flat image profile, retaining all color information for advanced color grading in post-production, while waveform monitors and focus assist tools make it easy to achieve precision focus during shoots.
Additionally, the camera is equipped with a high-capacity 2200mAh battery, which supports USB PD charging for continuous power, allowing you to charge the battery while filming (using the DMW-BTC15 charger, sold separately). The 3680k-dot OLED viewfinder provides a clear and sharp display with 0.76x magnification, offering an immersive and accurate view of your scene.
High-Resolution Photography
The GH6 isn’t just for videographers—it also excels at photography. The 100MP High-Resolution Mode allows you to capture stunning, ultra-detailed images, ideal for landscapes, architecture, and fine art. This mode stitches multiple images together to create a super-high-resolution final image, ensuring every detail is captured with breathtaking clarity.
