Product details

16 million pixels, 4K photo and video functionality. Electronic viewfinder with 2.36 MP OLED, ISO 200-25600, tiltable 7.5 cm touch LCD with 1040k resolution, Wi-Fi. In the G series, Panasonic takes design cues from DSLR models: there is a pronounced grip and a fixed viewfinder that sits slightly elevated behind the lens. This provides a good hold in the hand, which is practical for one-handed photography or filming. Like the top model Panasonic Lumix GX8, the Lumix G81 is weatherproof; the body is protected against dust and splashes, allowing you to shoot in light rain without any issues. However, this requires a weather-sealed lens to be mounted on the camera. The resolution remains at 16 megapixels. The viewfinder of the Lumix G81 uses OLED technology and achieves a contrast ratio of 1:10,000. The autofocus of the Lumix G81 employs Panasonic's proprietary Depth-from-Defocus technology, which determines the correct distance from intentionally out-of-focus shots. The Lumix G81 records videos in 4K Ultra HD (3840x2160 pixels) at a maximum of 30 frames per second or in Full HD (1920x1080 pixels) at a maximum of 60 frames per second.
