4K Video and 4K Photo- Capture the Perfect Moment

special moments you want to remember can occur at any time and should be captured in the best resolution possible. Now Panasonic’s 4K technology is available for everyone. With the introduction of the new LUMIX GX8, you will be able to record video in 4K (up to QFHD: 3840 x 2160 pixels 25 fps, 100Mbits/s).

Furthermore, with the 4K Photo feature, you can extract the perfect photo out of a 4K video (30 frames / photos per second) sequence easily on the camera and save it as an 8-megapixel equivalent still image. The hybrid LUMIX GX8 frees your creativity for both video and photo.

4K Photo Modes – Free Your Creativity

The 4K Photo function can be used in three different modes, all allowing you to capture that perfect moment at a high burst rate of 30 frames / photos per second.

4K Burst

This is a function that you can use more like using photo burst shooting mode. The camera keeps on shooting 8-megapixel equivalent images at ultra high burst rate as long as the shutter button is pressed.

4K Burst S/S (Start/Stop)

This function is the standard 4K Photo Function where you are able to record a 4K video to extract any frame / photo as an 8 megapixel equivalent images later. You can relax and wait for the moment to come.

4K Pre-Burst

The specialty of the ‘4K Pre-Burst’ mode is that the camera starts recording a 4K video sequence one second before & after you press the shutter button. This allow you to capture an unpredictable moment which happens much faster than you are able to react. You can get extra 60 photos to choose the best from.

4K Video – More Details Than Full HD

Whether you are watching movies or editing videos, 4K delivers a far more intense viewing experience than you have seen before. Its native resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels is four times larger than Full HD, resulting in a much higher level of detail. Even if you export your footage filmed in 4K to a Full HD TV, the video files will have even better definition and crisper details than those filmed in Full HD.
