Overview
With its tiny size and advanced technology, the Panasonic GX85 Mirrorless Micro 4/3 Black Digital Camera is a smart choice for the amateur photographer. It features a 16 MP sensor that eliminates the need for any low-pass sensor filters while boosting fine detail. This resolves power by nearly 10% over conventional 16 MP MFT sensors. You can capture spontaneous moments with 4K imaging performance in 4K video, as well as exclusive 4K PHOTO and Post Focus. Use the integrated 5-axis optical image stabilization technology for capturing blur-free images with little effort. Furthermore, the Wi-Fi connectivity facility allows you to share content with other similarly compatible devices.
Optics and Focus
The Panasonic GX85 Mirrorless Micro 4/3 digital camera is equipped with a Micro Four Thirds mount lens that offers a focal length of 12-32 mm and an aperture of f/2.0. The ISO ranges from 100 to 25,600, while the electronic shutter speed ranges from 1 to 1/16,000th of a second. The Depth-From-Defocus (DFD) Autofocus technology comes in handy for instantly calculating the subject distance and driving the focus mechanism with one quick, continuous movement for those faster AF speeds. Moreover, the wide range of White Balance and Exposure modes aid in a wide range of photography tasks.
