- General
- Brand: Panasonic
- Model Number: DC-GH5M2BODY
- Product Name: LUMIX GH5M2 4K Video Mirrorless Camera (Body Only), DC-GH5M2BODY
- Color: Black
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera Body Only
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm)
- Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: false (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: Electronic & Mechanical type: 60 - 1/8000 sec., 30 sec. - 1 min. (Bulb Mode), 1/24 sec. - 1/16000 sec. (Movie Mode); Electronic type: 1 - 1/16000 sec. (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Minimum Aperture: f/22 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/0 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- White Balance Modes: Auto, Cloudy, Color Temperature, Daylight, Flash, Incandescent, Shade, White Set 1, White Set 2, White Set 3, White Set 4 (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 20 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Lens Type: Other, Other, Other, Other
- Minimum Focal Length: 0 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 0 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- In-Lens Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
- Lens Series: Panasonic Lumix G Vario (The product group that the lens belongs to, based on similar shared features.)
- Lens Model Number: 0
- Flash
- Integrated Flash: true

- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Video Resolution(s) and Frame Rate(s): 4K (2160p) video recording (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, and the frame rate used to capture the video. The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)

Used GH5 Mark II
Great used camera. It was rated a “Satisfactory” condition but I feel like it could easily be in the excellent category. No glaring cosmetic damage if any at all. Functions perfectly well and feels brand new.

A workhorse camera based on the legendary GH5
I came from Sony's APS-C cameras and primarily am reviewing the GH5 Mark II as a video camera. Overall: The GH5 Mark II feels like a modern camera and delivers exceptionally cinematic performance in almost every way. It has the new S-series menu systems, usb-c, larger batteries supports professional video recording options. If you never owned a GH5, , then realize the camera is a little smaller than it appears in photos, which I think is a good thing. You'll need fast cards to capture the high quality formats (C4K 10-bit 4:2:2 etc.) but the good thing is you don't need any external recorders. Image quality: The GH5 Mark II out of the box using Cine-D or V-Log L picture profiles results in image that is so much more flexible than Sony's 8-bit format. The color science and rendering also feels more natural than the GH3 which I also owned. In my opinion ISO is useful up to 6400 with clean up and the dynamic range holds up at higher ISOs pretty well. S5 vs GH5 Mark II The S5 and the GH5 Mark ii are almost the same price, so I'll explain why a GH5 Mark ii might be more suitable for certain people. Don't let the MFT size sensor fool you. Shallow DOF is easily attainable. But it's not even always desirable as it's less of a concern for filmmaking. In that way, the MFT system seems ideal. I found it easy to adapt to other lens systems, especially for anamorphic shooting. MFT and vintage lens are affordable compared to L-mount lens. With a 25mm F1.8 the shallow DOF is substantial. But I also tested it with a Nikon 50mm f1.4 and 0.71x speedbooster and it feels like I I may be meeting or exceeding the DOF of Super 35mm (APS-C sized sensors). As a bonus, the GH5 Mark II has better IBIS than the S5 by a large margin. And you also get Open Gate anamorphic mode which uses the entire sensor to capture video.
