Optics and Focus
The Panasonic Lumix DC-GX850 is equipped with a Lumix G Vario 12-32 mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH lens that has one extra-low-dispersion element and three aspherical elements incorporated into it. They are essential for reducing both chromatic and spherical aberrations so that you can take pictures with improved image clarity and sharpness. Use the 49-point Depth-from-Defocus AF technology for calculating the distance up to your subjects and automatically tweaking the position of the focus. Apart from the exposure and white-balance modes, the metering methods assist you in a variety of shooting conditions. The shutter operates at 1/16,000th of a second, and the extended ISO ranges between 100 and 25,600. There are three shutter modes in this camera: touch shutter, buddy shutter, and auto face shutter.
Sensor and Screen
The Lumix DC-GX850 from Panasonic features a 16 MP Live MOS sensor that enables it to shoot high-resolution pictures and sharp UHD 4K videos. It even has a dust-reduction system that vibrates the sensor to clean out dust when the camera is switched on or off. The 3-inch, tiltable, rear LCD touchscreen offers a screen coverage of 100% and a resolution of up to 1,040,000 dots for accessing menus and viewing your captured content with brilliant clarity.
Image and Video
This camera can shoot MPO, JPEG, and RAW photos at a 4592x3448-pixel resolution, as well as 4K UHD videos at a resolution of up to 3840x2160 pixels in the MP4 format at 30 fps. There are three 4K photo modes in this camera: 4K Burst, 4K Pre-Burst, and 4K Burst (S/S). The standard 4K Burst mode allows you to capture 8 MP pictures continuously at a 30-fps burst rate. Use the 4K Pre-Burst mode for scenarios where you are unsure about when a particular moment is going to occur. The 4K Burst (S/S) mode makes it possible to mark a particular frame while playing back a recorded video, and saves it as an individual 8 MP still.
