Panasonic DMC-GX8KBODY 20.3MP LUMIX GX8 Interchangeable Lens (DSLM) Camera Body Only in Black

Panasonic's DMC-GX8KBODY can capture your special moments by using it's exclusive 4K PHOTO technology of 30 frames per second in high resolution 4K Ultra HD Video to extract them as photos. You'll never miss that special moment again.

NOTE: 4K Photo feature extracts 8-megapixel photo out of a 4K video sequence up to QFHD: 3840 x 2160 pixels, 30 fps, 100Mbit/s.

The 4K Photo function can be used in three different modes, all allowing you to capture that perfect moment at a high burst rate of 30 frames / photos per second:

• 4K Burst - burst shooting 8-megapixel equivalentimages extracted from 4K video as long as the shutter button is pressed.
• 4K Burst S/S (Start/Stop) - 4K burst recording as 4Kvideo then play, pause, and extract any frame / photo as an 8-megapixel equivalent image later.
• 4K Pre-Burst - 4K pre-burst starts recording one second before and afteryou press the shutter button. Perfect for unpredictable moments.

4K video delivers a far more intense viewing experience that is four times larger* than Full HD, resulting in a much higher level of detail.

NOTES:

* Native resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels.

** When recording videos in 4K, use a card rated as UHS Speed Class 3.

The LUMIX GX8 integrates Dual I.S. (Image Stabilizer)* for more effective results. The GX8's body I.S. works in tandem with the LUMIX lens I.S. for maximum stabilization.

NOTE: * For photo.

The LUMIX GX8 camera body is composed of a magnesium alloy, full diecast front and rear frame. Tight seals on every joint, dial and button enable splashproof / dustproof performance. The LUMIX GX8 also employs the newly-developed 20.3-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor that achieves high-speed bursts, ISO25600 high sensitivity, and a wider dynamic range. Combined with the Venus Engine, the GX8 achieves clear image rendering with minimum noise, even in low-light situations.

As a member of Panasonic's LUMIX G DSLM (Digital Single Lens Mirrorless) camera lineup - this model offers a wide variety of digital, interchangeable lenses. Many feature Dual I.S. (Image Stabilizer) compatibility when mounted to the LUMIX GX8*. Even those without O.I.S. can be used.

NOTE: * Firmware update is required for some lenses.

The LUMIX GX8 features a premium flat body with front/rear dials to control aperture and shutter speed settings. Settings can also be assigned to eight function buttons.* In addition, it is possible to adjust the exposure compensation with a dedicated dial.

NOTE: * Eight buttons on the body and five buttons on the menu.

Panasonic's Depth-From-Defocus (DFD) Auto Focus (AF) technology* instantly calculates the distance between foreground and background and quickly brings the subject into focus with one fast, continuous movement. This new system results in AF speeds up to 0.07 seconds** and a burst shooting speed with Continuous Auto Focus (AFC) of 6 frames per second.

NOTES:

* Contrast AF with DFD technology works only with Panasonic Micro Four Thirds lenses.

** In AFS, at wide-end with H-FS14140 or H-HS12035 (CIPA).
