(FT5) Just to be clear: The Panasonic GH6 still has no phase detection autofocus
GH6 specs at BHphoto
The autofocus will be improved by quite a bit, but I can now confirm with 100% certainty that the GH6 will not use a phase detection system. Let’s hope Panasonic engineers found some “trick” that can really fix their flawed af system…
A source told me this about the soon to be announced new GH6:
- rolling shutter is eliminated
- Not sure if they also eliminated mechanical shutter but there is a chance for it.
- And last but not least a massive improvement in AF. It may called DFD AI. They claim that tracking is 5 times better than in GH5.
- no phase detection AF.
The official specs shared by Panasonic are:
- New Micro Four Thirds Sensor
- Updated Venus Engine Image Processor
- 5.7K 60p Video, 10-Bit Sampling
- DCI 4K 10-Bit 4:2:2, Unlimited Recording
