Panasonic Announces Organizational and Personnel Changes

Share

Last week there was a lot of buzz because of the Nikkei article announcing “dismantling” of some Panasonic businesses. Panasonic replied by saying that this is just a restructuring program and that the camera division will continue to operate under the new umbrella division.

Today Panasonic issues an official statement with the details of the company restructuring program. You can read the full PDF here: news.panasonic.com/global/press/data/2017/03/en170331-10/en170331-10-1.pdf. Spoiler alert: it’s boring and contains no specific info about the camera business…which on the other hand is good news as it means everything will go on as usual.

Thanks EdinaMN!

Newsshooter says the GH5’s Extra Tele Conversion function gives your lenses added reach with no quality loss!

Newsshooter tested the GH5’s Extra Tele Conversion function. And they say it gives your lenses added reach with no quality loss:

The Extra Tele Conversion mode on the GH5 is very impressive and Panasonic have certainly given news, documentary and wildlife shooters a real reason to look very seriously at the camera. You could only dream of being able to shoot at these focal lengths on other camera systems at the GH5’s price point.

Her eis their test video:

Aaron:I thought you and your readers might be interested in this film I shot for Historic England on the GH4 with a Sigma 18-35 (smart adaptor) and the SLR MAGIC 1×33 anamorphot. I: also used the Cinemorph bokeh adaptor on some of the gimbal / exterior shots to simulate an anamorphic look (where I couldn’t use the anamorphot).
