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

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)

20 MP

25.2 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

25600 ISO

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∅

Panasonic Lumix GH5 II: Not applicable

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✔Panasonic Lumix GH5 II✔Panasonic Lumix GH6With 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)

The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.has AF tracking✔Panasonic Lumix GH5 II✔Panasonic Lumix GH6With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it.

A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system.

A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.movie bitrate

Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices, such as smartphones, tablets and computers.Has dual card slots✔Panasonic Lumix GH5 II✔Panasonic Lumix GH6It has two memory card slots, allowing you to store more photos without switching cards. This is particularly useful on long shoots when you need more space.has pixel shift shot✔Panasonic Lumix GH5 II✔Panasonic Lumix GH6The camera can take a series of shots, shifting the sensor slightly with each one. These can then be combined to create an extremely high-resolution image. It’s particularly useful for things like photographing artwork.shoots raw✔Panasonic Lumix GH5 II✔Panasonic Lumix GH6A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.supports lossless compressed raw✖Panasonic Lumix GH5 II✔Panasonic Lumix GH6It is capable of shooting stills in a lossless compressed raw format. This has all the advantages of shooting raw, while taking up much less storage space. The smaller file size also allows quicker read/write speeds.Wi-Fi version
