The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G85/G80 (DMC-G81 in Germany) is a mid-level DSLR-styled Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera announced on September 19, 2016. The follow-up to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7, its main improvements are a weather-sealed body, an upgraded electronic viewfinder, no recording limit (Only G85, USA version) and the addition of 5-axis in-body image stabilization which works together with lens stabilization and a Post Focus function. Like the G7, movies can be recorded in 4K resolution at 100 mbs.[1] The G85/G80 body weighs 90g more than its predecessor.

Post Focus image
editOne of new capabilities is Post Focus. It works similarly to focus bracketing; in this case, the camera captures 8 megapixel images (4K video resolution), in which each frame has a different focal point. The images can be joined automatically on camera, or the user can choose which parts of the scene will be stacked together into one image. It can be used handsfree, but for better images (i.e. no mistakes at stacking) the use of tripod is recommended.[1] [2]
Focus Bracketing
editFor full resolution stacked images, the user can use the Focus Bracketing mode. In this mode, the user chooses how many shots will be taken and at what kind of step (between 1–5). Step 1 has smaller distance to other focal point than step 5.
