The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.Has a flip-out screen✔Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7✔Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.viewfinder coverage

sensor size

Micro Four Thirds

Micro Four Thirds

One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.lens mount

focus points

49

49

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.megapixels (main camera)

16 MP

16 MP

The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.maximum ISO

25600 ISO

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4)

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.maximum expanded ISO

25600 ISO

25600 ISO

Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.has sensor shift stabilization

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4)

With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.continuous shooting (mechanical)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4)

A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.has continuous autofocus when recording movies✔Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7✔Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.has a microphone input✔Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7✔Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.has a socket for a 3.5 mm audio jack
