The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 camera housing is a digital, mirrorless system camera housing in the manufacturer-independent Micro-Four-Thirds system . The Panasonic DMC-GH4 is the successor to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 model and was presented in early 2014. It is the first mirrorless system camera housing that can record films at a data transfer rate of up to 200 megabits per second or 1.5 gigabytes per minute and in 4K mode . The successor was launched in March 2017, the Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 model , which achieves twice the data transfer rate, allows 4: 2: 2 color subsampling and achieves a color depth of 10 bits.

technical features

The camera housing of the Panasonic Lumix made of a magnesium alloy is equipped with a swiveling and folding, touch-sensitive monitor , an electronic viewfinder with diopter compensation , a built-in flash and a hot shoe .

In addition to the lenses with a Micro Four Thirds bayonet catch, almost all lenses with a sufficiently large image circle can be connected via lens adapters due to the small flange focal length of 20 millimeters .

The GH4 works exclusively in live view mode for both still and moving images with manual distance setting with a software magnifying glass or with a versatile autofocus system with contrast measurement that can also recognize faces and track motifs. With the help of the electronic shutter , still pictures can be recorded practically noiselessly.

The camera can be controlled and read out by smartphones , tablet PCs or mobile and stationary computers via a WLAN connection .
