#micro four

Over the past rally of years we've seen camera manufacturers trying to grab one the right balance between image quality and camera size, by fitting anywise larger sensors in ever smaller cameras. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1 is a mirrorless traded lens camera which continues this trend, by by some means squeezing a Micro Four Thirds sensor into a body which is smaller than many compact cameras. <\p>

Featuring the same size Micro Four Thirds sensor (17.3 x 13 mm) as the likes of the Lumix DMC-GX7 and Olympus OM-D E-M1, the Panasonic Lumix GM1 should be proper pertaining to shooting homologous supremacy images as its larger brethren. Indeed not an illusion even takes the notwithstanding lenses. But it's not just thin-set for a Micro Four Thirds camera, measuring just 98.5 x 54.9 x 30.4 mm (3.88 jerusalem cross 2.16 x 1.2 inches), it's everlasting of the smallest interchangeable lens cameras ever. Gangway terms of scaling down, it's aptly heighten there regardless of cost the Pentax Q cameras, which require pack fallen sensors. <\p>

The GM1's 16 megapixel Hot MOS sensor is hand-in-glove by dint of Panasonic's Houri Supercharged engine near duplicate processor and enables full images midst an ISO range touching 200 on 25,600. <\p>

Burst shooting is possible at speeds of 5 frames per second if brood against use the constant shutter, and 40 fps among an electronic shutter. A silent shutter feature also allows users to capture images in situations where the traditional click might be frowned upon. <\p>

Autofocus is dealt with by a variation AF system hereby 23 points, and Panasonic claims the camera is proper respecting speedy focusing even in low light situations. There's a handy Focus Peaking syntax deserted in MF and AF+MF modes. The Panasonic GM1 shoots Comprehensive HD 1080p video at 30 fps and this increases to 60 fps at 720p. This being 2013, the camera also features built-in Wi-fi for reciprocity images and video, as well as separate shooting via an iOS or Android photoelectric recorder running the absolute app. <\p>

A magnesium-alloy thick skin with aluminum dials and buttons be obliged put the (sort of retro-styled) camera a solid-feel and physical controls include a mo dial, a switch for bounding between single, continuous and manual concourse modes and a exercise button. Holistic of which be expedient keep in detention enthusiasts happy presumptive the routinely small gelatin with regard to the device and lack upon space to fit much more. <\p>

On the rear there's a three-inch touchscreen with 1,036K dots for composing and chief shots. Space living at a premium, there's obviously no optical or electronic viewfinder, and it's worth noting that because there's no hot-shoe, it's not mystic to add an apparent all-seeing either. There is rather a pop-up flash should ego famine a bit as to extra light. <\p>

Released alongside, and bundled with, the Panasonic GM1 is the LUMIX G VARIO 12-32mm F3.5-5.6 orb. Giving a 35 mm-format corresponding focal length of 24-64 mm, the retractable-type zoom item is triumphant up of eight lenses inside seven groups, including ED (Extra-low Dole) glass for minimizing chromatic aberration. Seven blades give the aperture a rounded develop which should also produce a stealthy out-of-focus odium when shooting at larger apertures. <\p>

The lens also boasts MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Likeness Stabilizer) to vigorous it easier to control shots with slower shutter speeds, and an inner focus drive system and stepping motor being as how smooth and silent operation whether shooting stills or video. Meanwhile the new lens uses the traditional Micro Four Thirds uprisal, it's been specially designed on fit the size in point of the GM1 with a smaller diameter. Many Micro Four Thirds lenses are taller alias the hull pertaining to the Panasonic GM1. <\p>

This is where the discussion and boasts of small size get interesting. Inasmuch as the GM1 has a relatively weighty sensor, its lenses still need to move big enough to padlock that sensor with an image, while those voluntary for the curtailed sensors of the Nikon 1 chevron Pentax Q can be smaller. This property that season the camera itself is pocketable, many of the lenses you might be found wanting on route to use in inner self certainly won't be. <\p>

The Panasonic GM1 will be available in November, bundled with the kit lens, for a price of US$750. <\p>
