Key Specs
Effective Pixels: 16.1 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
General
Product Name: LUMIX G5 16.1-Megapixel Digital Mirrorless Camera (Body Only)
Brand: Panasonic
Model Number: DMC-G5KBODY
Color: Black
Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera Body Only
Imaging
Image Sensor Type: Live MOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
Image Resolution (Display): 4608 x 3456 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
Image File Format(s): AVCHD, JPEG, Other, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
Focus
Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
Exposure Control
Shutter Speeds: Still image: 1/4000 - 60 sec., bulb; Motion image: 1/16,000 - 1/30 sec. (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
Self Timer: true
Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds
Shooting Modes: None (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
Panorama Mode: false
White Balance Modes: Auto, daylight, cloudy, shade, incandescent, flash, white set 1, white set 2, color temperature setting (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
Effective Pixels: 16.1 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
Lens
Lens Mount Compatibility: Micro Four Thirds
Flash
Flash Modes: Automatic, Forced, Red-eye reduction, Slow sync (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
Integrated Flash: true
External Flash Mount: Hot Shoe (A cold shoe is a mounting point on top of a camera to securely attach a flash unit or other compatible accessories. A hot shoe is a cold shoe with an electrical connection that insures communication and synchronization between camera and accessory.)
Display
Display Type: LCD
Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
Video
HDR Mode: true (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
Slow Motion Recording: false
Compatibility
Tripod/Monopod Mountable: false (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)
Memory Card Compatibility: Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Secure Digital, Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
Remote Compatible: true
Features
Face Detection: true (A function that automatically detects human faces and then sets focus and appropriate exposure to capture them.)
Smile Mode: true (When enabled, this mode works in conjunction with face detection to automatically take a photo when a smile is detected.)
Integrated GPS: No
Records Audio: true
Connectivity
Output(s): HDMI, NTSC
PictBridge Enabled: false (PictBridge allows digital cameras, camcorders and other image capture devices to connect and print directly to photo printers and other output devices without using a computer.)
Power
Rechargeable Battery: true
AC Adapter Compatible: true (The device is able to be charged using an external power adapter which meets input and output voltages specified by the manufacturer.)
Removable Battery: true
Battery Model: DMW-BLF19 (The model number of the battery necessary for operation of the device.)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Fantastic travel camera
I got this for my trip to Europe and I can't describe how amazing my shots came out. It did great in low light and I loved how portable and solid it was. Feels great in your hand as it is a solid metal body just like pro level dslrs. I have a Canon 5D mark iii with a multitude of lenses but that stays at home when I am out just because of how portable and pocketable this lens is. Great buy, you won't regret it.
