Product Description\n\nPanasonic Lumix 12 MP Micro 4/3 Compact System Camera with 3-Inch Touch Screen LCD and 14 - 42mm Zoom Lens\n\nFrom the Manufacturer\n\nGF5\nPanasonic Lumix DMC-GF5 Live MOS Micro 4/3 Compact Sytem Camera\n\nNew 12.1-Megapixel Live MOS Sensor and Venus Engine True Picture Quality\nThe DMC-GF5 incorporates newly developed 12.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor which features high sensitivity signal processing. Both photodiode circuit and readout circuit are also optimized to minimize noise generation through processing to readout. Furthermore, newly added NR circuit completes Panasonic\'s excellent noise reduction system that thoroughly removes noise left at final processing stage\n\nISO 12800 (Extended)\nOptimization of on-chip filter realizes image recording with even higher sensitivity at max. ISO12800 (extended). Images to be shot in low-lit situations are stunningly clear with highly sharp resolution.\n\nGreater Beauty, Higher Speed, and Less Power Consumption Venus Engine\nThe image processor Venus Engine is also renovated for the DMC-GF5. With a combination of 3DNR (3D Noise Reduction) and MNR (Multi-process Noise Reduction), both bright area and dark area are faithfully reproduced with minimum noise in high sensitivity image recording*.\n\n* For high sensitivity photo recording.\n\nIntelligent D-range Control\nThe Intelligent D-range Control offers even more natural looking by optimizing the exposure for each part of an image, preventing blocked shadows and blown highlights and helping ensure that gradation and details are reproduced beautifully including the blue color of the sky.\n\nIntelligent Resolution Technology\nWith the Intelligent Resolution technology, 3 areas - outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation areas - are automatically detected. Apart from the uniform enhancement of sharpness, this technology precisely performs signal processing pixel by pixel in the most effective way according to the area. As a result, images are naturally clear and crisp in both photo and video recording.\n\nTouch AF in video Recording\nThe touch AF in video recording lets you enjoy professional-like rack focusing. Just by pointing the subject, the focus is shifted to it and let it stand out to attract attention.\n\nAFF Mode\nThe newly added focus mode AFF (AF Flexible) locks on the focus when shutter button is half-pressed, however, if the subject moves, the focusing is reset to get the best results.\n\nMF Assist\nYou can enlarge the part by just a touch to select 1x, 4x, 5x or 10x and smoothly move the part by dragging it on the screen. The 4x enlarged view is displayed on the framing screen making it possible to set fine focus while composing the whole picture at the same time.\n\nAF+MF Function\nThe AF+MF function provides more efficient, more precise focusing. After focusing with AF, simply turn the focus ring manually for even finer control.\n\nHigh-Speed Consecutive Shooting\nThe DMC-GF5 lets you snap off unlimited consecutive shots at approx. 4 fps with full resolution, or 3 fps / 2 fps even when using the Full-time Live View. While Full-time Live View shooting, you can take shot after shot of the most decisive moments in sports and other action scenes, while precisely framing your shots in the LCD and optimizing the settings.\n\n*1 Depending on the recording conditions, the number of frames in a burst may be reduced. (For example, when [i.Resolution] of the recording menu is set to [EXTENDED], the number of frames in a burst may be reduced)\n*2 Pictures can be taken until the capacity of the card becomes full. However the burst speed will become slower halfway. The exact timing of this depends on the aspect ratio, the picture size, the setting for the quality and the type of card used.\n\nFrom Very Beginner to High Amateurs\nThe LUMIX DMC-GF5 offers a variety of features that encourages user to enjoy expressive photography according to the user\'s stage of skill - from very beginners to high amateurs\n\nScene Guide\nFor beginners of interchangeabl
