The Best Lumix GH6 Photography Features // Photo Examples

We all know the Lumix GH6 is outstanding for video, but what about photography? Does the updated GH6 Auto Focus help in photography? What about the 100mp handheld mode? and the very impressive 75fps photo mode. Let's take a look!

Which feature are you most excited about? Personally I see myself using the burst modes a lot, and probably the 100mp mode the least

I’d buy the Photo centric (new G9) in a heartbeat. Thanks for the video Emily. It’s nice to have these M43 channels on the tube! I think we all miss David Thorpe… he would have loved the GH6 and OM1.

I agree, m43 is here to stay, as always. People have been speculating of it's demise since inception, but as long as it keeps improving there will always be value in it, not to mention camera tech is trending to be smaller and lighter since it began.

I am so impressed with the high ISO of the GH6. I remember shooting the GH3 and never like shooting past ISO 800. I love that Panasonic keep developing this technology. The high res mode and the better higher ISO might have me looking at m4/3 again. Thank you for your amazing enthusiasm for photography and m4/3💗

Came here to say thank you once again. After watching your video (GH6 REVIEW) I was so excited to get this camera. I was hesitating a bit do to other videos on here on YouTube, but I decide to take the word from person like you and few others that actually show to us what can be done. Not trying to bash on other people's work, but truth is that not many people are showing the true capabilities on the real world of this camera. You along with a very minority, are doing an amazing job, thanks so much. I finally got my GH6, I can't wait to learn and explore with it!

The guy in the orange jacket is gorgeous! Lucky lady!

[EnerGeezerSquirrel]

The G9 with this camera's sensor is what I'd wait for. Such a unit might even compete with ODS' new OM-1. All that's needed is complete lens compatibility within the M4/3 universe and everything will be hunky dorry!

BOOOOM!!! Pew! Pew!! Pew!!! Best photographer's perspective on the GH6 I've seen! Hey Lumix, pay attention to this description of the dream G10 photography camera!

[LuisBravoPereira]

Great video, Emily, as usual on your channel! About the GH6 for Photography you forgot one advantage of this model for some specialities: the cooling system! A cooling system (initially conceived for video) can be very useful for astrophotography with very long exposures, avoiding long exposure noise - as you know, many astrophotographers modify there's cameras adding expensive cooling mechanisms, like "Peltier plates", just to avoid noise!...

[laurentyarp]

I also think those missing photograhy features in the GH6 is the sign a successor of the G9 is coming.
I will get one as soon as it comes out.

[SeanTolan_illuminated_imaging]

Thank you for this. I am shooting a wedding for photos this weekend after mostly shooting video for a while, and I needed some touch up before primetime...

[bradmiller]

If I could only own one camera, right now it would be my G9. I do have a full frame Sony, but the Panasonic lenses speak to me. Good video !

Some of the computational features of this camera prove that mirrorless camera companies are able to keep up with the advances in smartphone computational camera technology, that's exciting and it makes MFT extremely relevant again.

[ImageMaven]

Thanks Emily. Always love your point of view. I hope you're right about the G9 successor! That's the main reason I'm not getting a GH6.

[TravelsByTrike]

I love your videos. You are very knowledgeable about all types of photography and video with a relatable lighter style. I have a request. Can you do a video about shooting slow motion video especially how 120fps works with a 24fps timeline? I just picked up the GH6 and 10-25mm lens to up my video and photo game. I'm hoping to get crisper cinematic shots to fill in action footage taken with my GoPro Hero10 and Insta360 One X2. Many, many thanks!

[cmhuggins]

I just bought a gh6 after using a gh3 for a year. I am very new to photography but want to record and take photos of my son's soccer games with the camera. Next is choosing the right lense.

[politicallyincorrectpuppy]

Love your channel, Emily!

I'm somewhat undecided which camera to get: Lumix GH6 (Micro 4/3) or Lumix S5 IIx (Full Frame). I want to build a nice camera/lens collection for personal use and for a future trip to Italy in Spring 2024. I have to keep in mind my lower back injury from military service at L3, L4, L5, S1. Permanently disabled because of it - cane use.

I am not purchasing until late Spring around when the Lumix S5 IIx is coming out. Each system has their own pros/cons.

The GH6 has a native ISO of 100 vs. the OM-1 has a native ISO of 200. From what I can see online the sensor in the GH6 is a bit better. There are features I like of both cameras/lenses. Of course, the S5 II/S5 IIx sensor is much better for low light.

If I go Micro 4/3 I would want to get the following Lumix Micro 4/3 lenses...

Prime Lenses
Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 9mm f/1.7 ASPH

Standard & Telephoto Zoom Lenses
Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Summilux 10-25mm f/1.7 ASPH – 20-50mm (35mm Equivalent)
Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Summilux 25-50mm f/1.7 ASPH – 50-100mm (35mm Equivalent)
Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 50-200mm f/2.8-4 ASPH POWER OIS – 100-400mm (35mm Equivalent)
Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmar 100-400mm f/4-6.3 ASPH POWER OIS – 200-800mm (35mm Equivalent)

If I go Full Frame with an S5 IIx I already decided I would want all of the Lumix S f/1.8 prime lenses and three zoom lenses from Sigma.

I really would like the hybrid PDAF on the S5 II/S5 IIx to be on a Micro 4/3 body though.

Hey Emily great video! I am looking at this camera as a wedding videographer, but I occasionaly shoot wedding photos, I know you shoot weddings; have you used this for photos at a wedding and were you happy with it? I love your channel by the way:)

[timhyde]

M43 here to stay. I do hope so. I’d hate the to have to the carry those huge weighty lenses that others system users have to. Would like to see a new G9 but for it not to get any bigger size or weight wise. I’m still on G80 though!

3:49 raining dice shot is quite clever. i get bored and take pictures of random things on my desk lol
