Panasonic just recently released the GH6 with internal ProRes recording and other great pro features, but something missing was any RAW video recording. Its next firmware version 2.0 upgrade coming on July 5th will address that with external ProRes RAW output, the business revealed. Youll have the ability to record 12-bit 5.7 K RAW video at up to 60 fps and C4K (4,096 x 2,160) at an impressive 120 fps to Atomos Ninja V/V+ recorders.
Itll also support RAW 5.8 K and 4.4 K 4:3 anamorphic resolutions at as much as 30 fps and 60 fps, respectively. If youre recording V-Log video, youll have the ability to download a lookup table to set up on the Ninja V/V+ to better sneak peek video.
All of that is enabled by the GH6s HDMI 2.1 port that supports greater resolutions and frame rates than previous designs. Atomos has also slowly upgraded the Ninja V to support greater resolutions and speeds, while the Ninja V+ supported as much as 8K ProRes RAW from launch..

Together with the ProRes RAW external recording, the update will present a raft of new internal recording formats. Now the GH6 can just record 5.7 K 30p ProRes/ProRes HQ video, however the upgrade will permit for C4K and Full HD ProRes and ProRes HQ video at up to 60 fps. As previously, all ProRes video need to be taped to the CFexpress card slot. Theres no sign of UHD ProRes internal recording (3,840 x 2,160), so ideally thatll come at a later time..
With CFexpress, Panasonic may have had the ability to support RAW video taping internally. It might have been detered by REDs patent on the innovation– RED recently took legal action against Nikon over its use of internal RAW recording on the Z9. Atomos, nevertheless, has already partnered with RED to certify its technology. All items advised by Engadget are picked by our editorial team, independent of our moms and dad company.
