    Weather Sealing

MFT is one of the most mature and diverse mount in the Mirrorless camera world. Panasonic offers a big selection of MFT lenses with high optical quality. Other main contributor of the system, Olympus also offers similarly well regarded lenses. Third party lens manufacturers keeps on offering more lenses for the system every day as well.

    GX85 also has a Sensor based 5-axis Image Stabilization system which means that all of these lenses will be stabilized when used on GX85.

    DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. Panasonic GX85 sensor has been tested by DxO Mark and got an overall score of 71 for its image quality. You can find the details of their analysis of Panasonic GX85 here.

    Anti-Aliasing Filter

    Another important feature about Panasonic GX85's sensor is the lack of anti-alias (Low-pass) filter. Removing anti-aliasing filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but on the other side it also increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.

    Let's look at how the size of the Panasonic GX85's Four Thirds sensor compares with other standard sensor sizes.

    Panasonic GX85 LCD and Viewfinder

    Panasonic GX85 has a Tilting 3.00-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1,040k dots. Tilting screens are more photography oriented while Fully articulated screens are highly preferred by videographers. Both the screen size and the screen resolution is up to the standards of this class.

    LCD is Touch screen type, so you can change the settings and set the focus point with your fingertips.

    Panasonic GX85 back view and LCD

    Unfortunately Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 doesn't have a Selfie friendly screen. If this feature is important for your shooting style, check here the list of Best Mirrorless Cameras with Selfie Friendly LCD screen.


    GX85 has a built-in Electronic viewfinder, making it easier to shoot in direct sunlight and in other situations where it might be difficult to view the LCD monitor. The viewfinder has a resolution of 2,765kdots and coverage of 100%. 100% coverage ensures that what you see in the viewfinder while shooting matches exactly what you will get later in your image, helping accurate framing your shots and minimizes the need for cropping images later.

    Panasonic GX85 Connectivity, Storage and Battery

    Panasonic GX85 features built-in wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity ( 802.11b/g/n with NFC) which lets you transfer your photos directly to compatible devices without any physical connection. One other feature that we like is the ability to use our smartphone as a remote to control our GX85. You can change camera settings, release shutter, view LCD screen and tranfer files using remote control app.

    You can connect GX85 to compatible devices via its HDMI port or USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec) port.

    Panasonic GX85 Battery

    Panasonic GX85 is powered by a proprietary battery which provides a battery life of 290 shots according to CIPA standards. Considering that the average battery life of Mirrorless type cameras is 383 shots, Panasonic GX85 has a short battery life for its class so we strongly recommend GX85 owners to invest in some extra batteries.

    With Panasonic GX85, you can record your videos at a highest resolution of 3840 x 2160 at 30p,24p fps with bit rates up to 100 mbps and save in MPEG-4 and AVCHD formats. Panasonic GX85's 4K is the common standard resolution in consumer video world.
    It is also a big step up from its predecessor which has a max video resolution of only. If you are thinking of upgrading your and shoot a lot of video, this is a big factor to consider in favor of GX85.

    Video Resolutions Comparison Chart

    One important factor that you need to take into consideration while shooting video at max resolution of 4K with Panasonic GX85 is that there is a crop factor of 1.10x ( in addition to the Four Thirds crop ratio of 2x ) which can make it difficult to achieve wide-angle clips.


    No Video Recording Limit

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 doesn't have the 30 minutes max video recording limitation that many cameras have, so you can keep recording non-stop until either your storage is full or battery is depleted or the camera over-heats.



    Microphones, Speaker and Headphone Connections

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 has a built-in Stereo microphone and a Mono speaker. On the other hand, Panasonic GX85 doesn't have any connections for external microphones and headphones. If you need a Mirrorless camera with external microphone connectivity, consider Fujifilm X-T200 or Sony Alpha A7 II in a similar price range.

    Panasonic GX85 Other Features

    Max Shutter speed

    Panasonic GX85 can shoot continuously at max speed of 8.0 fps and has max shutter speed of 1/4000 sec. GX85 also has an electronic shutter which can shoot silently at max speed of 1/16000s. One thing to keep in mind is that electronic shutter may cause rolling shutter / jello effects, and also banding issues under artificial light on your images.

    Flash

    GX85 has a built-in flash, and it also has a flash shoe to mount your external flashes too.

    One neat feature that we like about GX85's built-in flash has is that the flash head can be tilted upwards manually using your finger, which can be used to bounce the flash light and create a more pleasing lighting on your subject. It is not a very strong flash so the ceiling/wall or the surface you use for bouncing must be relatively close to the camera.

    Focusing

    Panasonic GX85 features a Contrast Detection autofocusing system. The AF system has 49 points to choose from.

    Panasonic GX85 also features Face detection AF where it intelligently detects the faces in the frame and locks the focus automatically.

    Focus Stacking

    Macro shooters will love Panasonic GX85's Focus Stacking feature. In this mode, GX85 automatically composites multiple shots taken at different focal positions using focus bracketing to create a single image with maximum depth of field.

    Post Focus

    Panasonic GX85 has a special Post Focus mode which uses its 4K video and focus bracketing features together to shoot and stack a burst of images into a single image which you can change the focus point on the LCD screen after it is taken.
