The Lumix DMC-GF5 camera has a newly-developed 12.1 megapixel Live MOS sensor for high sensitivity and low noise. A new noise reduction circuit and upgraded Venus Engine image processor further enhance these capabilities. The camera’s precise and fast Contrast AF system features ultra-fast Light Speed AF of around 0.09/second. The DMC-GF5 incorporates Full-area focusing which makes it possible to set focus on any point in the field of view. Frame composition is easy and fast using the intuitive touch-control operation features, including Touch AF, AF Tracking, Pinpoint AF and Touch Zoom. In addition, the DMC-GF5 offers fast high-speed burst shooting at 4 fps to capture subjects in motion. These features are all easy to operate with the camera’s large 3-inch LCD and 920,000-dot high precision touch display. The GUI features animation for higher visibility and wallpaper images can also be set on the menu screen. The DMC-GF5 also has a convenient built-in flash.
