Available in a choice of three looks - black, two-tone red and black, and two-tone green and silver - with a classic rangefinder body, the DMC-GM5 is designed to provide high photographic performance. The sleek, ultra-compact successor to the DMC-GM1 now incorporates a high-resolution Live View Finder, hot shoe, additional control dials and programmable function buttons.

The new ‘Snap Movie Mode’ makes it easy and enjoyable to capture and share creative videos. Users can record short videos of 2-8 seconds, and use rack focusing and fade effects. The videos can be selected and connected in any order, music added, and then shared to social media using the Panasonic Image App.

The DMC-GM5 integrates a 1,166K-dot equivalent LVF (Live View Finder) with approx.0.92x/ 0.46x (35mm camera equivalent) magnification and 100% field of view.

This LVF boasts almost 100% color reproduction of the Adobe RGB standard. The Touch Pad AF function allows LVF and monitor to be used simultaneously for more intuitive focus control. The LVF incorporates an Eye Sensor that automatically turns ON/OFF according to the photographer’s action.

The 3-inch approx. 921K-dot high resolution 16:9 monitor offers touch control, so users can set the focus or release the shutter simply by touching the screen. By adopting a new display with cutting-edge energy-saving technology, the maximum luminance is increased by approx. 50% while maintaining the same level of power consumption as conventional models.

An external flash unit (GN7/ISO100?m, GN10/ ISO200?m) is bundled to mount on the newly added hot shoe (in black or silver). An optional hand grip is also available. (Hand Grip DMW-HGR1 - black / silver, sold separately).

The camera has a 16.00-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor and Venus Engine, producing detailed, sharp images with less noise. Even images shot in low-light situations are stunningly sharp, and users can dial the ISO setting as high as 25,600.

All LUMIX G cameras use Contrast AF for focusing, which boasts a higher accuracy than Phase Difference AF, especially when shooting with a bright lens and a wide aperture. The DMC-GM5 supports high speed burst shooting at 5.8 fps (AFS) / 5 fps (AFC, 1-area AF) in 16.00-megapixel and at max. 40 fps using an electronic shutter. AF Tracking enables consecutive shooting to capture moving subjects in sharp focus at 4.0 fps.

There are AF functions to suit a range of shooting situations, including new Face / Eye Detection AF, Low Light AF, Pinpoint AF and One-shot AF.

The DMC-GM5 now includes a total of 22 fascinating filter effects in addition to Time Lapse Shot, Stop Motion Animation or Clear Retouch. The new Time (long exposure) function lets photographers set exposure time to a maximum of 60 sec. Exposure starts when the shutter button is pressed and stops when it is pressed again.

The DMC-GM5 records stunningly smooth, high-resolution Full-HD 1920 x 1080 50p videos in AVCHD or MP4 (MPEG-4 / H.264) format with stereo sound. The camera also supports 1080/24p native mode with 24 Mbps in AVCHD format bringing an impressive cinematic feel to the footage. Users can enjoy full control over video recording, with P/A/S/M modes, full-time AF, AF tracking and Touch AF for rack focusing effects.
