Panasonic Lumix DMC-G95D Body Only

The Lumix G95 from Panasonic is a Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera also characterized by its sleek and portable design. Featuring a 20.3MP Live MOS sensor and Venus Engine, high-resolution stills can be recorded with a wide sensitivity range of ISO 200-25600, and continuous shooting is supported at up to 9 fps with AF-S. UHD 4K video recording is also supported at 30p and pre-installed V-Log L enables a wider dynamic range of up to 12 stops for greater color grading control during post-production. Also, 4:2:2 8-bit output is possible when recording externally via micro-HDMI and both headphone and microphone jacks support improved audio recording.  For eye-level viewing, a 0.74x-magnification OLED viewfinder is featured with a 2.36m-dot resolution for clear viewing. Additionally, an updated 3.0" OLED touchscreen incorporates a free-angle design to benefit working from high, low, and front-facing angles. Optimized for wireless operation, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enable wireless remote camera control and image transfer to a mobile device.

This configuration maximizes resolution while keeping noise to a minimum, permitting the use of sensitivities up to ISO 25600. It is also quick, enabling continuous shooting rates of up to 9 fps with AF-S and 6 fps with AF-C. Alternatively, external recording is supported via micro-HDMI with 4:2:2 sampling and 8-bit color depth. V-Log L has been pre-installed on this camera and is used to capture a flat, neutral gamma curve well-suited for grading. Slow motion video is available with support for 120, 90, and 60 fps in Full HD resolution.  A larger means for image composition and playback, an updated 3.0" OLED rear monitor has a free angle, tilt, and swivel design to support viewing from a variety of angles. It is also a touchscreen, which permits intuitive menu navigation and settings control. Built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 Low-Energy connectivity allow for wireless image sharing and remote camera control from linked smartphones and tablets.

Bluetooth LE also enables a constant connection to your mobile device, allowing for functions such as geolocation and automatic image transfer. This mode will allow you to continuously record, making it ideal for instances where you need a fast frame rate in order to capture the best moment. Working in conjunction with the contrast-detection focusing system and the intelligent Depth from Defocus (DFD) technology, Post Focus records imagery as a 4K MP4 file at 30 fps and shifts the specific point of focus throughout the burst shooting in order to offer a range of distinct focusing ranges to choose from. During playback, via the camera's touchscreen, you can then tap the specific region of the image you wish to be in focus and an 8MP JPEG file will be created. In this mode, images are recorded and saved with varying points of focus and then blended together to gain an extended depth of field.

This contrast-detection type focus method benefits both still and video recording modes, as well as subject tracking applications where subject color, size, and motion vectors are used to intelligently lock onto the moving subjects and ensure precise focus. When working with portrait subjects, face/eye detection capabilities make it easier to photograph people and prioritize focusing specifically on a subject's pupil. The focusing sensitivity and speed can be adjusted to further improve performance with certain subjects.
