A collage of Lumix GH5 6KPhoto mode 30p shots that you'd normally extrapolate 4:3 (or 3:2) aspect 18.7Mb JPG files from. But lets keep it rolling and see what the visual quality and motion looks like after being transcoded from HEVC h265 to h264 using DaVinci Resolve 12.5 Studio. Is it a good alternative to recording in normal 4K?
FYI The 4:3 4992x3744 pixel files are scaled down 0.77 to fit the vertical edges UHD (16:9). Subsequently, you can tilt up/down/pan a HD file out of the larger crop. :-)
Actually I'm loving the quality with its deep contrast crushed blacks..! You can record in all profiles bar Vlog and Rec709L so CineLike D, natural or Standard is what Ive done here. You get audio (but Ive removed it) and the files are packaged in a HEVC 4:2:0 10-bit wrapper at a data rate of nearly 200Mbps. You can kind double that data rate (because h265 can be same quality as h264 at only half the data size) you're in effect getting 400Mbps Long GOP equivalent! Loving the GH5 ;-)
