The LUMIX GH5M2 boasts high-speed, high-precision AF. It incorporates an advanced deep learning technology that detects specific subjects – humans and animals, including canidae, felidae and birds. Notably for humans, in addition to the eye, face, body the head is also separately recognized by real-time detection technology to provide even more precise focusing.
To achieve stable handheld shooting, the Body I.S. (Image Stabilizer) in the LUMIX GH5M2 is further advanced, making it possible to use a .6.5-stop slower shutter speeds. Adopting the latest algorithm developed for the S1H, smooth, stabilized video is available even at the point where the camera gets in the motion or in panning.
