Cameras New Releases Product Reviews By Nick / 29th March 2017 Share Tweet Share Panasonic GH5 Image Stabilization TestsSample Footage and Review of the GH5's 5-Axis Image Stabilization When finally released, the Panasonic GH5's specs were very well received. I found there were a lot of features included that had not been mentioned which I won't go into here.One standout feature that everyone knew about and was keen to see was the in-body, 5-axis image stabilization. This is where the actual sensor does the stabilizing and not the lens. So how does it perform against (and alongside) the lens's O.I.S. system and a Ronin M from DJI thrown in for good measure?Combining the internal 5-axis and the lens' O.I.S. stabilizers, you open up Panasonic's Dual IS system which is amazing. However, you must use a compatible lens. Also, make sure that the firmware is updated (if necessary) on your lens.Note: I had to update my Panasonic 14-140mm lens before this would work.My ThoughtsPersonally, I preferred the look of the footage from the 12mm Olympus Zuiko lens (with no image stabilization) and the GH5's in-body, 5-axis stabilization to the Panasonic 14-140 lens (with O.I.S.) and in camera stabilization when walking about*.The latter would work incredibly well when static and shooting hand-held without walking.*Obviously the footage using the Ronin M was best but I wasn't here to test that…I think by combining the internal and lens's stabilization, it is entirely possible to shoot still images in very low light with very slow shutter speeds and great handheld video. I am very impressed and I will be testing the low light capabilities soon.Having used the camera extensively for a few days now, I think it is a winner. It is great for both crisp, sharp, high resolution stills and high end, 4K video. The features seem endless and will keep you busy and having fun for a lonnnng time! Highly recommended.Buy and/or Read Reviews at Amazon Purchase the GH5 (or learn more) from Amazon USA Purchase the GH5 (or learn more) at Amazon UK DJI Ronin M at Amazon Olympus Zuiko 12mm at Amazon Panasonic 14-140mm HD Lens at Amazon
