Limited colors and banding in 4K PHOTO

Have you noticed sky banding with 4k photo or 4k video in Panasonic cameras. I have GH4 and it looks like there is limited color palette in 4k. The quality and sharpness is very good and I am quite pleased but compared to JPG photos and some other video cameras there seems to be banding in colors. I have some examples. Video captures was made carefully and with best quality in Potplayer.

If you have not seen that banding I must be doing something wrong.

4k Video capture Natural contrast 0, banding visible

JPG photo, no banding

Video capture, Histogram not smooth, banding.

JPG photo, histogram is smooth, no banding.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4
