The Panasonic Lumix DC-GH6 is a mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera introduced by Panasonic in February 2022.[1] It uses the Micro Four Thirds lens mount and is the successor to the GH5 series of video-focussed mirrorless cameras.
Features
Compared to the GH5, the GH6 features a new 25.2-megapixel image sensor with dual output gain. It adds support for recording in Apple ProRes 422 and 422 HQ formats. Alongside an SD card slot, the camera has a CFexpress Type B card slot instead of a second SD card slot.[2]
6K/4K Photo and Post Focus modes have been removed. The camera has an updated built-in noise reduction, branded as '3D Noise Reduction' compared to the '2D' system used by the GH5.
Like its predecessor, the GH6 uses Panasonic's Depth-from-Defocus autofocus system.
The Lumix GH6 adds a built-in cooling fan, allowing the camera to capture up to 4K 60FPS video in 10-bit 4:2:2 for unlimited lengths, while higher resolution and/or framerate modes can be captured for extended periods. The fan can be configured by the user to run automatically based on temperature, or continuously.
The 3.0", 1.84-million-dot rear LCD of the GH6 is touch-sensitive, and can be tilted and articulated. The camera also has an OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF) with 0.76× magnification.
The camera can record up to four channels of audio via an optional adapter in addition to the 3.5 mm microphone input jack. It also adds a dedicated button for accessing audio settings, in addition to another function button.[3]
The Lumix GH6 supports recording video directly to an external USB SSD with a firmware update.[4]
