Physical characteristics

It is the first mirrorless camera body of Panasonic, where the image sensor is equipped with two analogue amplifiers for every pixel ''(Dual Native ISO)''. With this technology, the model shall be predestinated for video shooting in low light and high dynamic range situations. The body is made of a magnesium alloy, and it has a fully articulable monitor with touch screen functionality as well as an electronic viewfinder and a hot shoe for a flash light. Via
