Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 Camera Features:
Like all cameras in the Lumix G series, the Panasonic DMC-G5 adopts Contrast AF, so focusing is controlled by the picture sensor. Compared with the Phase difference method AF, Contrast AF boasts higher accuracy, when shooting with a bright lens with tiny F values. To further advance the Contrast AF, the Panasonic DMC-G5 incorporates full-area Touch AF, making it feasible to set the focus on any point in the field of view. Additionally the Panasonic DMC-G5 offers ultra high-speed Light Speed AF, which quickly locks onto a subject, making it feasible to capture even quick moving subjects clearly.
The Panasonic G5's giant, bright one, 440,000-dot equivalent LVF retains outstanding view ability & features about 100% field of view. Suppressing color breakup, the LVF of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 Camera Charger assures stunning picture view for any subject or scene. The LVF is newly designed to integrate an eye sensor for the Panasonic DMC-G5, which allows picture output between the LVF & LCD screen to be switched automatically with the eye sensor on the LVF. Additionally Eye Sensor AF automatically starts focusing when the photographer looks in to the EVF to capture spur-of-the-moment shooting opportunities.
A giant, 920,000-dot high resolution LCD screen with wide-viewing angle rotates 180 degrees to the side, tilts 270 degrees up & down & offers about 100% field of view. Touch screen operation on the LCD screen of the Panasonic DMC-G5 allows for simple shooting or playback of images & the new Touch Pad function allows the use of both LVF & LCD simultaneously, which inspires more intuitive shooting. Lag time of picture output has been minimized by about 18% compared to the Panasonic Lumix G5's predecessor, the Lumix G3, making it simpler to monitor fast-moving subjects.
Not only does the Panasonic DMC-G5 produce stunning still imagery, but it also records high quality video. With the ability to record high-resolution full-HD one,920x1,080 60p videos in AVCHD Progressive or MP4 format, subjects with fast motion & fine details are reproduced clearly. In addition to practical full-time AF, the Touch AF in video recording also lets the user enjoy professional-like selective focusing which allows the focus to be shifted while shooting video & AF Tracking basically locks onto a subject to focus, even when it moves. The Additional Tele Conversion function on the Panasonic DMC-G5 extends zoom range Max four.8x without deterioration of picture quality.
In terms of design the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 Battery Charger initially looks very much like its predecessor, the main difference being a more pronounced handgrip. In the hand this gives the camera a more DSLR like quality than its predecessor. In addition the shutter release button has moved forward slightly, which again makes for a slightly more comfortable grip overall.
All new for the G5 is the addition of a Function Lever which sits behind the shutter release. With it you're able to control a lot of camera operations including exposure settings, menu navigation & operation of the picture zoom while the camera is in Playback mode. If you've got Panasonic's 14-42mm power zoom attached to the camera then you can also use this lever to control the zoom with, which is tidy.
The G5 Panasonic Camera Charger is built around an all-new 16.05MP Live MOS sensor. This is further complemented by a redesigned Venus Engine 7 FHD picture processor that's able to shoot at a comparatively fast 6fps while also delivering a top sensitivity setting of ISO 12,800. In the event you don't mind a drop in overall resolution it's also feasible to shoot at a super-speedy 20fps utilizing at electronic shutter. If you're shooting in noise-sensitive surroundings then the additional benefit of the electronic shutter option is that it can be set to silent.
