Caleb Genheimer Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hi, all! I recently had a GH5 in hand (since swapped for a GH5s pre-order), but for the week that I had it, I simply could not believe what Panasonic has done with the IBIS/DIS in that camera. It’s incredible! The camera knows that you’re shooting 2X anamorphic, and as long as you tell it which focal length you’re using, the stabilization works flawlessly with anamorphic. This is absolutely no small feat to re-calculate the stabilization algorithms to work with something as atypical as a squeezing lens. I may have to save for a standard GH5 body just to get this feature for my personal use (I need the low light of the GH5s for weddings), it is that good. Tripod mode is even more obscene. It just locks the image. Providing you don’t have any flares dancing in frame, it may as well be a locked off shot on sticks. Is anyone else using the GH5 stabilization with anamorphic? Early on I had actually seen it mentioned that IBIS and anamorphic don’t play well together, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that they actually do. Perhaps the new firmware fixed the incompatibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
