Enhanced 20.3MP MOS sensor with AR coating

An AR (Anti Reflection) coating effectively suppresses flare to capture the expression of light as it is, even in a harsh shooting environment surrounded by strong light such as backlight, achieving high-quality visual beauty for both videos and still images.

Autofocus featuring AI technology

Features high-speed, high-precision AF, and deep learning technology for recognition of human faces, eyes, heads, and bodies, as well as animals.

6.5-stop Dual I.S. 2 (Image Stabilizer)

5-axis Dual I.S. 2 (Image Stabilizer) combines control of the Body I.S. and Lens O.I.S. to offer 6.5 stops’ worth of correction.*

^{*Based on the CIPA standard [Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=140mm (35mm camera equivalent f=280mm) when H-FS14140 is used.}

Supports a wide range of production needs

With video performance suited to a wide range of creative needs, plus flexible, high-quality fundamental performance, the LUMIX GH5M2 offers professional-level video recording and still image shooting.
