Panasonic DMC-GF5KEB-K Lumix G Compact System Camera with Interchangeable Lens - Black

Description

Colour Name:Black Product Description Lumix G Micro Four Thirds (MFT) System Developed in 2008, Micro Four Thirds revolutionised the photographic market. The MFT system removed the reflex mirror and replaced it with a high quality electronic viewfinder that reads the image coming through the lens as it is focussed directly on the image sensor. The mirror-less system allows the sensor to be mounted much closer to the back of the lens, which in turn allows both the camera body and lenses to be smaller and lighter without compromising the image quality. Large LIVE MOS Image Sensor The size and type of sensor was a critical part in the development of Lumix G. 8x larger than the sensor used in a typical compact camera, and large enough to capture all the light coming through the lens without bending or distortion. The Micro Four Thirds sensor is almost as large as a Digital SLR APS-C sized sensor, but is designed to match the lens mount aperture perfectly, allowing the light to enter the camera in a straight line. Supersonic Wave Filter Self Cleaning Sensor System Dust particles on the image sensor have been a common problem with interchangeable lens cameras. It is important to take care not to allow particles to enter the camera body when swapping lenses. Panasonic have a Supersonic Wave Filter built in to our Lumix G models. The filter sits directly in front of the image sensor, preventing dust particles from adhering to the sensor directly. Every time the camera is powered up, the filter vibrates at such a high frequency that dust particles are literally shaken off. A Growing Range Of Compatible Interchangeable Lenses Whatever photo opportunity arises, the growing number of creative lenses available for the Micro Four Thirds System ensures that you won't miss out. Over 30 models from manufacturers such as Olympus, Sigma, Leica and, of course, Panasonic are already available with more being added regularly. Mount Adaptors Available for Leica M, Leica R and Four Thirds Lenses The Micro Four Thirds system also supports the range of lenses available for the original Four Thirds standard, by way of the MA1 adaptor ring. Also for Leica enthusiasts, adaptor rings are available for the Leica M and Leica R lenses. Photo Quality New 12.1MP LIVE MOS Sensor The newly developed 12.1 Mega Pixel Live MOS sensor delivers a high-speed readout that enables focus checking to be performed at 120 frames per second. It not only delivers highly detailed images but also improves signal to noise ratio, reducing noise by a maximum 30% in the ISO3200-6400 range and extending sensitivity to ISO12800. Ultra High Speed 0.09 sec Auto-focus Capability Our fastest ever auto-focus speed can be obtained when combining this camera with the H-PS14042 power zoom lens. The combination of this lightning fast sensor and lens control means you get the action in focus more of the time. Even subjects close to the edge of the frame can be chosen as a focus point Full Area Focusing Lumix G cameras can focus across the entire area of the image sensor. Conventional DSLR cameras only allow focus points across a limited area of the picture, but with the full area focus system even subjects close to the edge of the frame can be chosen as a focus point. With Touch-screen focusing also offered on the LCD, this makes it even easier to choose the focus point by just touching the subject on the LCD screen. Full HD Video Mode With AVCHD When shooting video for playback on a Full HD TV, AVCHD offers amazing high quality recording. 50i is supported at FHD 1080 resolution and 50p at HD 720 resolution. MP4 Video Recording Mode For High Compatibility Also offered in video record mode is MP4 (H.264) format recording. High Definition video including 1920x1080 can be shot at 25 Progressive frames per second. Full-time Auto Focus Available during Video Recording Due to the mirror-less design and Contrast Auto Focus system, auto focussing is continuously available during video recording.
