Since February 2014, Panasonic has been exploring new image
expression methods using 4K technology and developing digital
imaging devices that can bring those expressions to life in
collaboration with the Tomoyuki Sugiyama Research Department of the
Digital Hollywood University Media Science Laboratory.
For this demonstration, Panasonic will provide 5 GH5s, the
world's first (*1) Digital Single Lens Mirrorless Camera that can
shoot 4K 60p video, to support the Digital Hollywood University's
shoot of YOHJI YAMAMOTO's runway at one of the most prominent
fashion events, the Paris Collection. Taking advantage of GH5's
compact, lightweight features, the runway will be shot from
multiple angles in super high resolution 4K 60p with smooth
movement. These cameras will demonstrate the excellent power of
expression of 4K 60p, which will capture the unique atmosphere and
even the texture of the materials at the forefront of fashion.
Panasonic is also conducting a live streaming demonstration via the
Internet by recording 4K 60p video with GH5, and simultaneously
converting it to Full HD with an external device in order to
provide a smooth and stable streaming of live images to people in
the fashion industry and fashion lovers across the world.
The live streaming will begin from 8:00 PM March 3, Friday,
local Paris time (*2) at:
