In response to the demand from the film production market, log video recording (V-Log L) was made available for the LUMIX GH4 and offers exceptional flexibility as well as wider dynamic range for color grading in post-production process. When Panasonic announced the DC-GH5KBODY, they also revealed that the same upgrade that made VLOG available to the GH4 would work with the GH5. V-Log / V-Log L were developed to feature similar characteristics to Cineon, which is a characteristic curve for film digitalization. Taking full advantage of Four Thirds sensor, V-Log L boasts a log characteristic with 12 stops. Both V-Log and V-Log L have the same characteristic curve, and LUT (Look Up Table) can be utilized.

DMW-SFU1 Features:

  • LUMIX GH5 & GH4 function enhancement for film production/professional videographers
  • Increases dynamic range from 10 stops to 12 stops
  • Makes color grading easier with improved compatibility between LUMIX GH4 and Panasonic Varicam
  • V-Log / V-Log L were developed to feature similar characteristic to Cineon
