FAQs:

Does the GH5 really have no recording time limit in Japan?

Yes, unlike most cameras, the GH5 has no 29-minute limit and can record continuously for hours (as long as battery and card allow), making it perfect for long festival shoots, interviews, or time-lapses across Japan.

Is the GH5 good for both video and stills on a Japan trip?

Absolutely — its 6K PHOTO mode extracts perfect 18MP stills at 30fps and 4K PHOTO gives 8MP at 60fps, so you get pro video and high-resolution photos from the same camera without carrying two bodies.

Will the camera overheat during summer in Japan?
