Panasonic Announces the GH4 Hybrid Mirrorless Digital Camera with Breathtaking 4K Cinematic Video—Available Now at BH Photo Video
NYC, NY (PRWEB) February 06, 2014 -- Panasonic today introduced the GH4, the first hybrid mirrorless digital camera with breathtaking 4K cinematic video. The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH4 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds digital camera is a true hybrid camera designed for both professional photo and video use.
The LUMIX GH4 builds on the legacy of the renowned LUMIX GH3’s image quality and world-class video capabilities. Now supporting 4K quality video, the Panasonic LUMIX GH4 allows photographers and cinematographers to explore above and beyond with in-camera creative options and astonishing focus control that sets the new standard for mirrorless hybrid photography.
When combined with one of the many LUMIX G Lenses or movie industry PL-mount cine lenses, the Panasonic GH4 provides the ultimate platform for video. Photographers will enjoy the controls and image quality expected of a professional-grade main system camera for still and hybrid photography. Both will enjoy the durability and lightweight portability that a modern mirrorless DSLM digital camera offers over legacy DSLR systems.
The 16.05-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor achieves high-quality, high-sensitivity image recording with its quick response. An approximately 50% higher speed signal readout suppresses the effect of a rolling shutter when using electronic shutter or recording video. The Live MOS Sensor delivers an expanded gradation range by a maximum 1/3 step at low ISOs. Superior noise reduction allows for exposures up to 60 minutes long.

With the Panasonic Image App, remote photo and video shooting is available with a compatible smartphone or tablet, and can easily embed geotag data in an image after shooting. Even if a smartphone/tablet is incompatible with NFC, you can still be easily connected to the camera by scanning the QR code displayed on the GH4’s monitor from a mobile device.
VFR (Variable Frame Rate) Time Lapse Shot/Stop Motion Animation
The VFR (Variable Frame Rate) enables Full-HD video recording with slow/fast motion such as 96 fps / 4x.
Selectable System Frequency
For the global business and professional user, the system frequency is flexible from 59.94Hz (23.98Hz) / 50.00Hz / 24.00Hz.
The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH4 delivers RAW images in-camera.
