2. 4K HDR video recording
[HLG] (Hybrid Log Gamma) is added to [Photo Style]. HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a mode to reproduce both the bright part and dark part in an image, making it appear as the human eye would see. The camera records video with a designated gamma curve compatible with ITU-R BT.2100, and users can now choose Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) in [Photo Style].
A low bit-rate 4K HLG recording mode 4K HEVC for HLG has been added. This enables playback on AV equipment compatible with the HEVC compression format, such as Panasonic 4K HDR TVs.
3. Enhancement of the Anamorphic video recording mode
High-Resolution Anamorphic mode, which enables video recording in 18-mega effective pixels, is added.

[Anamorphic Desqueeze Display] has been added, which lets you view an enlarged image in Cinescope size while recording with 2.0x and 1.33x Anamorphic lenses.
[Video Guide Line] has been added to display the image in a variety of aspects, such as Cinescope, 16:9 and 1:1 while recording video. It can be used not only in Anamorphic mode but also in other video recording modes.

Tracking auto focus performance in video recording is improved.

The start point of AF lock can be set on the live view screen in advance of [AF Tracking].
The AF area can be moved while the shutter button is half-pressed or while recording in [Burst Mode], [6K PHOTO] and [4K PHOTO].

The new firmware enables GH5 tethered shooting via USB, using LUMIX Tether PC software. Users can control the camera by connecting it to a PC via a USB.
