Dual native ISO provides exceptional low light performance for both stills and video. Simultaneous 4:2:0 and external 4:2:2 when using an external HDMI video recorder for flexible recording are supported. The camera can also be controlled by USB or LAN tethering. The body can also be used with Multicam software for more efficient productions. yet more firsts come in the form of ethernet tethering allowing the Box-Style DC-BGH1 to be further controlled by tethering software.

The Lumix BGH1 also boasts extended recording times of up to 270 min even at the highest quality settings thanks to proprietary heat dissipation technology. High end productions are fourth supported by Genlock IN and Timecode IN/OUT ports.

The LUMIX BGH1 offers versatile solutions in that it can be used in multi-camera, mounted to a drone, IP remote control and for live-streaming environments.

Dual Native ISO seamlessly utilises two circuits to create two separate native ISO settings, which is taken from Panasonic professional video cameras. Normally, noise increases as sensitivity rises, however, an image sensor with Dual Native ISO minimises noise generation by choosing an optimal circuit to use according to the sensitivity before gain processing. As a result, the BGH1 is capable of a maximum ISO 51200 high sensitivity recording with excellent results in low light.

The LUMIX BGH1 enables 4:2:0 10-bit C4K/4K 60p / 50p internal video recording. It records video with a designated gamma curve compatible with ITU-R BT.2100, and you can now choose Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) in Photo Style. A low-bit-rate recording mode C4K/4K HEVC/H.265 for HLG is also available.
