The new

DJI announced the new Inspire 2 Quadcopter (specs and preorder here) and Zenmuse X5s (specs and preorder here). And it’s a sort of flying GH5 as it records 5.2K and 4K 60FPS! TheVerge reports:

DJI has designed a new image processing system for the Inspire 2 meant to satisfy professional filmmakers. They call it CineCore 2.0, and it can capture 5.2K video at a whopping 4.2Gbps bitrate. To handle all that data, the Inspire 2 has added an onboard SSD. You can buy this drone with the new Zenmuse X4S or X5S camera. The latter feature a micro 4/3 sensor and supports 10 different lenses, including zooms. And the system supports video compression formats that matter to pros, like CinemaDNG and Apple ProRes. For photographers there is a DNG RAW mode that captures 30-megapixel still images. And it can stream video in broadcast-quality formats for local news crews who want live aerial video from the scene of an unfolding event.

And now check out those detailed graphs:

Full specs:

  • Gimbal + Camera + Lens
  • Micro 4/3 Sensor
  • 5.2K at 30 fps / 4K at 60 fps
  • 20.8MP Still Images
  • 12.8 Stops of Dynamic Range
  • 12-Bit Raw
  • 20 fps Continuous Burst

Panasonic releases firmware updates for the G80 and the GH4

bildschirmfoto-2016-11-16-um-07-12-46

Panasonic issued a new firmware update for the GH4 and G80 (or G85 or G81). You can download it here: av.jpn.support.panasonic.com

The G80 update (version 1.1) fixes that bug:

Improved image stabilizer performance during the motion picture recording.

The GH4 update (version 2.6) fixes those bugs:

– When the camera is used with the Battery Grip, an error message pops up if the remaining power of the battery in the Battery Grip is low.
– With a use of [shoplink 63144 ebay]Panasonic H-RS100400(LEICA DG VARIO-ELMAR 100-400mm / F4.0-6.3 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S.[/shoplink]) or some Olympus interchangeable lenses, the monitor blacks out when the user tries consecutive shooting in manual mode in AFC setting.

In Episode 06 of Adventure Photography On Location – Chasing Autumn I’m taking you along on a 4 day trip to the german side of the Belgian-German border into the region of the Eifel. Known for its rolling hills, colourful forests and atmospheric castles and moody weather it will be the perfect place to capture autumn inspired adventure, landscape and nature images with my Olympus cameras. Check the blog article for more.

Pier-Yves: “We used the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 with the Panasonic Leica 15mm F/1.7 and the Olympus 45mm F/1.8 lenses and the ambiant lighting. No more. Editing with Final Cut Pro X. No Color Grading. Enjoy the film and share it if you wish > https://vimeo.com/188874407
