Panasonic GH4 First Impressions

This is where the camera enters a league of it own as the number of internal recording options are varied. To simplify, 4K can be recorded in MOV or MP4 format in the 4:2:0 colour space at 100Mb/s. 4K comes in two flavours: The cinema standard which is 4096x2160 pixels or the UltraHD standard of 3840x2160 pixels. The cinema standard can only be recorded at 24P whereas UltraHD can be recorded at 25P and 24P (along with the compariable NTSC frame rates). HD can be recorded in MOV, MP4 and AVCHD formats in the 8 bit 4:2:0 colour space. MOV or MP4 formats have a selectable bit rate of 50, 100 or 200Mb/s.
