    HDRCinemaStreaming DeliveryTheatrical Delivery

    Panasonic's standard cinema pairing, introduced with Varicam and carried onto the EVA1 and the cinema-capable S-series. Its container was sized to hold the common delivery targets rather than to maximize area, so one capture can be graded to Rec.709, DCI-P3 or Rec.2020 without running out of gamut on the way. The curve places mid gray at 42% IRE, the figure Panasonic states.

    Curve: V-LOG2014

    Introduced with Varicam in 2014 and carried onto the EVA1 and the cinema-capable S-series, paired with V-Gamut. It places 18% gray at 0.4233 — 42% IRE, the figure Panasonic states — with 8.0 stops of headroom above it. Its shadow region sits higher than most curves here, at 0.1407 six stops below gray. That lift keeps shadow detail clear of the bottom of the code range in 10-bit recording, at the cost of a flatter image before grading.

    Gamut: V-GamutProprietary · 2014

    Introduced with V-Log for Varicam, and carried onto the EVA1 and the cinema-capable S-series. It covers 2.36 times Rec.709, which places it above Rec.2020 by a quarter and above DCI-P3 by three quarters; only its blue primary is imaginary, at y = -0.030. It was sized to contain the common delivery targets rather than to maximize area. The practical consequence is that one capture can be graded to Rec.709, P3 or Rec.2020 without running out of gamut on the way.

Style
  • Panasonic Cinelike D2Cinematic

    A film-like Photo Style whose gamma curve gives priority to dynamic range, intended for footage that will be edited and graded. The successor to Cinelike D on bodies from the GH6 and S1H generation onward.

  • Panasonic Cinelike V2Cinematic

    Offers increased contrast and saturation for a more vivid, cinematic look while still maintaining some flexibility for post-production adjustments.

  • Panasonic FlatCinematic

    Offers a flat color profile with low contrast and saturation, allowing for more flexibility in post-production color grading.

  • Panasonic Like709Cinematic

    A Photo Style applying a gamma correction equivalent to Rec.709, compressing high-luminance areas through an adjustable knee to minimize overexposure. Intended for material delivered without grading.

  • Panasonic LandscapeLandscape

    A Photo Style suited to scenery, with vivid blue skies and greens. Panasonic used the name [Scenery] on earlier bodies such as the GH5S.

  • Panasonic L.MonochromeMonochrome

    Offers a softer monochrome effect with lower contrast for a more subtle, muted black-and-white appearance.

  • Panasonic L.Monochrome DMonochrome

    A monochrome Photo Style with enhanced highlights and shadows for a dynamic impression, sitting between L.Monochrome and a fully graded black-and-white look.

  • Panasonic L.Monochrome SMonochrome

    A monochrome Photo Style with a gentle touch, suited to portraiture where the harder contrast of L.Monochrome D would be unflattering.

  • Panasonic LEICA MonochromeMonochrome

    A Photo Style realizing Leica’s monochrome rendering, with deep contrast between black and white. Offered on the GH7, S9, S1 II and S1R II.

  • Panasonic MonochromeMonochrome

    A clean black-and-white profile with no toning. Provides a classic, timeless monochrome rendering with full contrast control via the camera's tone settings.

  • Panasonic NaturalNatural

    A more subdued, neutral profile with reduced contrast and saturation. Renders subjects closer to their real-world appearance and leaves more grading room than Standard.

  • Panasonic StandardNatural

    Panasonic's all-purpose default. Balanced contrast and saturation suitable for general shooting across portraits, landscapes, and everyday situations.

  • Panasonic PortraitPortrait

    Optimizes color and contrast to enhance skin tones and provide a pleasing look for portraits.
