PANASONIC Lumix DMC-GX8

Panasonic is proud to introduce the new LUMIX G Digital Single Lens Mirrorless Camera DMC-GX8 featuring a host of advanced functions packed in a highly durable splash/dust-proof rugged design. By evolving the in-body image stabilizer, the new DMC-GX8 integrates Dual I.S.(Image Stabilizer) to gain more powerful handshake correction.The new 20.3-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor excels both in response, sensitivity and dynamic range. The image processor Venus Engine dramatically boosts its performance with quad-core CPU that lets high speed signal processing. The DMC-GX8 is capable of recording smooth, high-resolution QFHD 4K video in 3840x2160 at 30p(60Hz) / 25p(50Hz) or 24p in MP4. Taking advantage of 4K video recording performance, users can capture the fleeting photo opportunities at 30 fps in 8-megapixel equivalent resolution to save it as a 4K Photo. The DMC-GX8 boasts large, tiltable 0.77x LVF (Live View Finder) with 2,360K-dot high resolution and 100% field of view. The Contrast AF System features DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology and excels in both speed and accuracy by exchanging digital signal between the camera and the lens at max. 240 fps, resulting in ultra fast auto focusing of approx. 0.07 sec*. Thanks to the connectivity of Wi-Fi® with NFC(Near Field Communication), users can connect the camera to their smartphone / tablet to expand the flexibility in shooting/storing/sharing images. *In AFS, at wide-end with H-FS14140 or H-HS12035 (CIPA).

The LUMIX GX8 integrates Dual I.S.(Image Stabilizer)* 1 for the first time in LUMIX G digital camera to gain more powerful handshake correction. Conventionally, image stabilizer in the camera (Body I.S.) and the interchangeable lens(Lens I.S.) can be switched. However, with the new Dual I.S., both Body I.S. and Lens I.S. work at the same time to take maximum advantages of both stabilizers not only in wide angle shooting but also in tele end. With max.3.5x (wide) / 1.5x (tele)*2 wider correction angle, you can get clear handheld shot even in low-lit situations where shutter speeds tends to be slower. Panasonic LUMIX G DSLM (Digital Single Lens Mirrorless) Cameras offers a wide variety of digital interchangeable lenses and most of them are going to comply with Dual I.S. in LUMIX GX8*3.

Daniel Berehulak, a world-renowned award-winning photojournalist, travelled to Cuba with new LUMIX DMC-GX8 to document an evolving culture and society going through significant social, political and economic change. This is a part of his journey recorded with GX8 in 4K. You can also enjoy photos shot by him and the behind-the-scenes with shooting impression of GX8.
