The compartment for the battery and memory card is located on the bottom side of the handle, and the thread for mounting the camera on a tripod coincides with the axis of the lens.

Display, viewfinder

The design and size of the display remain unchanged. Three-inch TFT matrix with touch control has a rotating design. Setting the focus point is possible across the entire display, and this function is also available when using the viewfinder.

The built-in electronic viewfinder is based on organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), while its predecessor was equipped with a traditional LCD viewfinder. New option more economical and brighter, which is a definite plus, but the colors in it look slightly unnatural - this is inevitable in all cases of using matrices based on organic LEDs. It is worth noting that the viewfinder is equipped with a proximity sensor and a diopter adjustment wheel.

Functionality

As you already know, the sensor resolution remains the same - 16 megapixels. The available light sensitivity has increased by one step, reaching ISO 25600 (though in ISO Boost extended range mode). The lower limit of the range has not changed, which means you still won't be able to set ISO 100 - only 160 units, no less.

The main changes lie in the processor - Panasonic Lumix G6 received a new generation Venus Engine chip. The manufacturer offers an improved noise reduction system and promises more high quality Pictures. The second significant update is Low Light AF, which allows you to focus even faster and more accurately in low-light conditions. However, Panasonic mirrorless cameras have never had problems with focusing. She was and remains the best in the class. The frequency of burst shooting has also increased. The new camera is capable of taking bursts of 7 frames per second in full resolution, while the Lumix G5 produced 6 frames per second.

The updated processor also played a role in expanding video capabilities. In this regard, the Lumix G6 is approximately on par with the Lumix GH2, which is advanced even by today's standards. The camera is capable of recording video in Full resolution HD at 60, 30 and 24 full frames per second with stereo sound and AVCHD and MPEG-4 output. In addition, it became possible to connect an external stereo microphone to the corresponding connector. However, there is still no headphone jack, and the built-in speaker does not allow you to fully evaluate the recording quality. By the way, during the official presentation we managed to make a couple of video recording examples - however, we should not draw far-reaching conclusions, the firmware on the G6 was still quite “raw”.

Panasonic is proud to introduce the DMC-G6 digital mirrorless camera, the latest addition to the LUMIX G family of stylish and compact cameras.

The new 16-megapixel Live MOS sensor allows for excellent image quality, and the Venus Engine combines high-speed signal processing with an effective noise reduction system. Of course, the DMC-G6 offers video recording in 1920 x 1080 resolution at 60p / 50p. And with Wi-Fi and NFC support, you can connect the camera to your smartphone or tablet with just one touch, using the screen to control the camera. The new OLED Live View viewfinder with a resolution of 1,440,000 dots features excellent color reproduction and the highest contrast ratio (10,000:1), and a 3? based on In-Cell Touch technology, which allows for excellent viewing angles.

Live MOS Sensor and Venus Engine Image Processor

The DMC-G6 camera is equipped with a Live MOS sensor with a resolution of 16 megapixels, which makes it possible to achieve the highest resolution and high light sensitivity (ISO 3200 and max. ISO 25600), with minimal noise. And the updated Venus Engine image processor offers new technology noise reduction, it effectively removes large areas of noise, resulting in excellent image quality when shooting at night. Moreover, through the use of a new filtering algorithm, it was possible to increase the contrast of light areas of the image by 5%.

High response speed and fast system autofocus

All cameras in the LUMIX G family are equipped with a contrast autofocus system. Compared to phase detection autofocus, contrast detection autofocus provides greater accuracy, especially when using fast lenses. Besides touch screen greatly simplifies the selection of the focus point - you just need to touch any object in the frame, and the camera will instantly focus on it.

Highest video quality

All cameras in the LUMIX G family, especially the DMC-GH3, are widely known for their excellent video capabilities. The DMC-G6 also supports video recording, allowing you to shoot in 1920x1080 60p / 50p resolution and AVCHD Progressive (MPEG-4 / H.264) format. In addition, the camera body has a 3.5 mm jack for connecting an external microphone.

Wireless connection via Wi-Fi and NFC

The DMC-G6 camera is equipped with Wi-Fi and NFC modules, which allow for new possibilities for taking and publishing photos or videos - to connect the camera to a smartphone or tablet, you just need to place them next to each other. Using a smartphone or tablet, you can take not only photos, but also videos, and also have full control over the shutter button, zoom, focus, shutter speed, aperture and exposure compensation.

The DMC-G6 integrates 16.05-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor with Venus Engine that features advanced noise reduction systems. Noise is removed in multiple steps according to the noise characteristics, realizing both smoothness and sharpness according to the part of the image. In addition, the limit resolution is enhanced thanks to precise detail reproduction and advanced Intelligent D-Range Control that ensures beautiful gradation with a wider dynamic range.

Low Light AF

Light Speed ​​AF
and Burst Shooting

The DMC-G6 features high-speed Light Speed ​​AF, making it possible to capture even the fast-moving
subject clearly. Not only the accuracy but also the speed of AF in DMC-G6 surpasses the high-end
DSLRs with Phase difference. The camera and the lens exchange the digital signal at max. 240 fps to
minimize the time to focus. The DMC-G6 realizes the high speed burst shooting at 7 fps in
16.05-megapixel full resolution and max. 40 fps using an electronic shutter. Also, AF Tracking enables
consecutive shooting to capture moving subject in sharp focus at 5 fps*.

* In 1-area-focusing AF mode

The large, bright 1,440K-dot OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) LVF (Live View Finder) with approx. 100% field of view in 4:3 aspect boasts excellent color reproduction and astonishingly high contrast at 10,000:1 for outstanding viewability. The display time lag is minimized dramatically compared with the predecessor DMC-G5. The image output between the LVF and the rear monitor is switched automatically with the eye sensor on the LVF, which features options of sensitivity - high, low and off - to reduce false operation during touching on the rear monitor.

Panasonic's line of mirrorless cameras is divided into the most simple models GF, fashionable GX, for enthusiasts - G and top-end GH.

If the first two are more worthy of the attention of beginning photographers who are switching from compact devices, then the last two are designed for the high demands of advanced photographers in combination with simple modes for beginners. Even professional photographers pay attention to the G and GH lines in order to get a high-quality camera for travel and travel, where they don’t want to drag their big black “brick”.

In the review, we emphasized that it breaks many myths about this class of cameras, such as mirrorless cameras in general. It is large, heavy, with a capacious battery, fast autofocus, extensive customization options and better opportunities video shooting on the camera market. Even its predecessor, the GH2, has earned the recognition of many professional videographers around the world.

But what if you don’t want a completely healthy and rather heavy device? There's a Panasonic G6 for that. For the most part, it retained the capabilities of the GH3, and in some places even surpassed it. The few shortcomings that the older model had have been eliminated here.

Panasonic G6 video review:

What will please you outside?

In photographs on the Internet, the Panasonic G6 can easily be confused with some kind of DSLR. But, when you pick it up, you realize that it is much smaller and lighter, although the significantly protruding rubberized handle with a recess for the middle finger has been preserved. Under the thumb, the plastic is also covered with a piece of rough material. The mirror image is complemented by a viewfinder protruding from the body, a standard hot shoe and a mechanically retractable built-in flash.

Despite its smaller dimensions than even the tiniest DSLRs, the G6 turned out to be quite convenient to use. With one hand it is easy to hold the camera with the included lens, change parameters and shoot without fear of accidentally dropping it.

Most of the rear panel is occupied by a 3-inch touchscreen that is rotatable in all axes. TFT LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 480 pixels. The viewing angles are excellent, the colors are exactly as needed. I'm glad that compared to GH3 they didn't decide to cut one degree of freedom. It is with this design that it is most convenient to shoot videos, photographs from the floor, a concert overhead, a self-portrait of your beloved against the backdrop of a tourist attraction.

In addition, touch capabilities are already a necessity for modern devices without a mirror. After all, choosing the focus point is much more convenient. The G6 also has multi-touch, so with a pinch-to-zoom gesture you can quickly change the focus area or simply drag the histogram icon or picture-in-picture window when manually focusing to a place convenient for you. Naturally, the menu and, in particular, the quick menu are optimized for finger control. After “talking” with the camera for a week or two, I no longer want to go back to operating it the old fashioned way. In addition, you can scroll through the captured photos, as you are used to doing on a smartphone.

Instead of one of the wheels on top, a lever is used, like in soap dishes. The second wheel is located under the thumb. There is a separate button to start video recording in any of the modes, proprietary iA for quick shooting on the machine when there is no time to change lanes. To the right of the display is a standard group of control keys with a five-way joystick in the middle. It is used for navigation, and its extreme positions are used to configure basic parameters.

But that is not all. On the small body there was room for as many as five (!) function keys, the value of which can be selected through a menu from a giant list. The sixth and seventh keys are hidden in the interface on the display itself. This number of external controls will satisfy even those who are accustomed to two-kilogram professional DSLRs.

On the mode dial, in addition to the usual PASM and creative ones, there is also a separate item for recording video, quick access to shooting a panorama, as well as 2 custom items, under one of which there are three more program ones. In total there are four individual modes!

The viewfinder pleases not only with excellent detail, but also with good responsiveness, even when it is dark.

What's under the hood?

The basis of the G6 is a 16-megapixel Live MOS sensor. It provides good detail in normal conditions, even with a kit lens. Extreme ISO values ​​- not best friends G6. The value 6400 is best used only in RAW format, as well as 3200. In JPEG good results up to ISO 1600.

But the speed performance of the G6 is simply off the charts. Continuous shooting - 7 frames per second, in tracking mode - 5. Ultra-fast mode provides shooting at 40 fps, but only in JPEG and with a reduced resolution.

Focusing speed is perhaps the best I've seen on a mirrorless camera and can easily compete with entry-level DSLRs. In low light conditions, the G6 generally shows fantastic focusing capabilities that I'm not used to expecting from a camera at all.

Speed ​​performance when shooting video is also impressive. The G6 records video with AVCHD or MP4 containers, different bitrates and frame rates up to 60 frames per second in Full HD and progressive scan. The video recording quality is one of the best in its class and is quite a bit short of the top-end GH3. By the way, the latter is generally considered a leader in the quality of video shooting on this moment in the price range up to $3000 among cameras.

For manual aiming, you can use the “Focus peaking” function, which is not even available in the GH3. The feature works quite correctly and greatly simplifies operational shooting without the need to enlarge the desired area each time. For calmer situations, there is a 5x or 10x zoom, as well as a Picture-in-picture mode, in which it is convenient to simultaneously frame and focus on an enlarged area of ​​the image. On the other hand, in practice it turned out to be quite convenient to use automatic focusing, which works adequately even with such a fast lens as 25mm f/1.4. Sound is recorded both on the built-in stereo and on an external microphone.

Street photographers should appreciate the silent shooting feature with the electronic shutter and sounds like focus confirmation muted. With this approach, you can manage to photograph people back to back, and they won’t even suspect it. And if you also use the remote viewfinder via a smartphone, you can even hang the camera on your neck and freely take pictures of everyone around you.

Panoramic photography allows you to fit into the frame what doesn’t fit at the widest zoom position of your lens. We choose the direction (in a horizontal or vertical position), hold the trigger and slowly move it to the side. The automation will do the rest for you.

There was also a place in the menu for shooting timelapses. We set the interval between frames, the desired number of shots, put the camera on a tripod, point it at an interesting scene and press “Shutter.” After that, we collect millions of views of a beautiful video on Youtube.

If the usual means of expanding dynamic range are not enough, then shoot in HDR with a three-frame bracket and automatic equalization. I liked the processor’s very adequate performance of photo stitching.

The now fashionable multiple exposure mode is also available on the G6. You can take from two to four photographs that overlap each other quite correctly.

In the image processing menu, it is worth canceling one interesting item - Retouch tool. Using it, you can, like in Photoshop, remove unwanted details, such as heads that fit into the frame and even wires in the sky.

Following the general trend, the G6 is equipped with Wi-Fi and NFC modules. The latter will help you instantly connect two devices after pressing the corresponding button on the camera body. Smartphones without NFC will have to struggle a little with finding a network and connecting. Then we can choose what exactly we need - just reset the photos or use the smart as an electronic viewfinder with the ability to change many parameters, select the focus point and even use zoom with lenses equipped with the Power Zoom function. Wi-Fi operation I left only pleasant impressions (both in terms of capabilities and in terms of efficiency).

What lenses should I take for the Panasonic G6?

14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 G ASPH OIS

The basic lens is pretty good for “whale” optics. It has good detail across the entire field of the frame, the main optical defects are not very pronounced, and, moreover, it is well assembled. If you are just starting your photographic journey and have little understanding of all these focal lengths and aperture ratios, then take the camera that comes with it.

14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 G X PZ

As you know, it is the complete optics that significantly increase the dimensions of mirrorless cameras in depth. Panasonic has developed an improved version of the “whale” with the same focal lengths and aperture ratio, but much more compact in length (when folded). In addition, the optical stabilizer has not gone away either. The only disadvantage of this version of the complete zoom is that there is a slightly longer delay between turning it on and being ready to take the first photo than with the usual 14-42 mm. And the cost of the camera + lens increases by about $170. But if you want maximum compactness, then you simply have no choice.

20mm f/1.7

A universal pancake lens for every day. Converted to a full frame, it turns out to be 40 mm, which is just right for the most diverse shooting - architecture, landscapes, portraits, group photographs, medium macro, night photosets and indoor photography. With all this, the glass is very tiny and compact, has a fairly large aperture ratio and costs a reasonable amount of money.

12-35mm f/2.8 ASPH

The 35mm format offers a classic focal length range of 24-70mm with a constant f/2.8 aperture. If you're looking for the most versatile and fastest zoom available for an MFT system, this is it. You'll have to pay a lot, but it's worth it.

35-100mm f/2.8 Lumix G X Vario Power OIS

Another classic telephoto lens with an equivalent focal length of 70-200mm and a constant aperture of f/2.8. Fast autofocus and aperture will allow you to shoot reports in almost any conditions without restrictions. The cost is steep, but this is the price to pay for the professional capabilities of the lens.

Summary

The Panasonic G6 is one of the most balanced mirrorless cameras we've tested. It successfully combines relatively small dimensions and ease of use, many additional functions for growth, good quality photographs and excellent video recordings. In addition, for the Micro 4/3 system there is the most a large number of offers in terms of optics and you can choose what suits your needs and wallet.

Panasonic G6 video review:

With five lenses, we will analyze the test results below, and now let's talk about the class of photographic equipment to which our subject belongs. We cannot do without an excursion into history.

Back in 2001, Olympus realized that it was losing the digital race and all its achievements in the film era did not allow it to be at the level of market leaders. A conceptual breakthrough was needed, and it was stated in a joint statement with Kodak that there was a need to standardize the lens mounting mechanism and the type of light-sensitive matrices used with them in single-lens reflex cameras (SLR). The Four Thirds System standard and the corresponding three-blade lens mount were proposed. Sensor size: 18×13.5 mm (22.5 mm diagonal), aspect ratio: 4:3, crop factor equal to two. The main idea was that most photographs don't require much high resolution, for newspaper and small magazine illustrations the quality of such a sensor is quite enough. After ten years, the debatability of such a statement becomes obvious, because there is no such thing as too much quality. Olympus released several amateur DSLRs with this matrix format and even a very good professional camera E-1, but they were unable to change the situation on the market. In Tokyo on August 5, 2008, a continuation of the format was announced, called the Micro Four Thirds System, and Matsushita (Panasonic) also joined in the creation. This standard eliminates the mirror lifting mechanism and the associated mirror viewfinder from the camera design. For this reason, the working distance is halved compared to the 4:3 standard (from 40 mm to 20 mm), and the thickness of the camera body is correspondingly reduced. Instead of a mirror viewfinder, an electronic or on-screen viewfinder is used.

At this point, you can complete the historical excursion, not forgetting to analyze what the pros and cons this format brought it to the photographer. Micro Four Thirds System cameras are commonly called mirrorless system cameras. Systematicity implies the use of removable optics, attachments, converters, external flashes, and battery grips. The first serious advantage of the system under consideration is the absence of a mirror and pentaprism, as a result of which the weight, dimensions and cost of the camera are reduced. The absence of vibration from the cotton of the mirror allows you to shoot without a tripod at longer shutter speeds without fear of blurring the image from vibration. The second significant advantage is the short working distance, i.e. distance from the rear end of the lens to the plane of the matrix. A small flange makes it possible to simplify the optical design of lenses, this is especially true for wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle optics. This simplification makes it possible to reduce the size, weight and cost of optics without sacrificing quality. Well, now about the sad thing, the main disadvantage of mirrorless systems is the focusing system. In a classic DSLR, the light passing the lens through the translucent areas of the main mirror hits an additional mirror, and from it to the focusing sensors, of which there can be several dozen in a modern camera. Due to their design, mirrorless cameras cannot implement this principle, and the focusing process uses matrix pixels that analyze focusing by contrast. Phase detection autofocus of DSLR cameras is faster and more accurate than contrast focusing of mirrorless cameras.

Now, armed with knowledge of the theory, let's begin to analyze the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 camera. The first surprise was that in reality the camera turned out to be smaller in size than one would expect from looking at advertising pictures in magazines. The body is almost completely covered with a rubber-like material with a leather-like finish; the camera fits confidently in your hands and does not slip at all. The battery grip is comfortable and ergonomic, the release button is exactly where it should be. Separately, I would like to note the tilt-and-turn display (capacitive type), TFT, 1,036,000 dots (3:2), 3 inches. This is exactly the type of display mount that my own camera has, and during its operation I was able to verify the practicality and convenience of this solution. First of all, when transporting the camera, the display can be turned with the screen facing inward, thereby protecting it from damage. Metal buttons on clothes and zippers tend to leave scratches and abrasions on the screen, it is strongly recommended to stick protective film to the screen. The rotation and tilt angles in the working position allow you to feel comfortable in most shooting situations; if desired, the screen can be rotated 180 degrees and capture yourself. In addition, the screen is touch-sensitive and this greatly simplifies navigation through the menu and changing shooting parameters.

The brightness is quite sufficient for working outdoors; of course, direct sunlight will blind any screen. Let's look at the controls. On the rear panel, in addition to the functional wheel and standard buttons, there are five programmable Fn keys to which the photographer can assign the functions he needs. On the top panel there is a shooting mode selection wheel and a separate video recording button. I'm very used to the LCD screen on the top of the DSLR, which constantly displays data about the main parameters of the camera, and I really missed it in the Lumix. This is the cost of miniaturization, but it seems to me that such a screen will definitely appear in mirrorless cameras in the near future. Another advantage of optics for the Micro Four Thirds System is that, with the same aperture, the diameter of the front lens is significantly smaller than optics for the APS-C format, and especially full-frame optics. The four lenses I received for testing had a filter diameter of 46 mm, which provides significant savings when purchasing filters.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 is equipped with a 16.05 megapixel Live MOS sensor and a high-speed Venus Engine processor, with a sensitivity range reaching ISO 25,600. Considering that Panasonic has long been successfully producing video cameras, including professional ones, video capabilities our apparatus turned out to be up to par. The model is capable of making videos with a resolution of up to 1920 x 1080 50 frames per second in the AVCHD Progressive format (MPEG-4 / H.264), with a flow rate of 28 Mbit/s. The sound is recorded in stereo format, there is support for noise reduction, and if necessary, an external microphone can be connected using a standard 3.5 mm jack. Recently, Wi-Fi modules have confidently asserted themselves in photographic equipment, in wireless mode, it is possible to control the shooting process, copy images, send them to a smartphone and tablet for long-distance and quick sending to the network. The Lumix G6 fully realizes these features. The viewfinder in the camera is electronic, OLED, 1,440,000 dots, and in low light conditions it begins to slow down noticeably.

Let's move on to practical tests of the device, having previously configured some parameters. Set the AdobeRGB color space and RAW recording format to maximum resolution. I described in detail why you need to choose this particular color space, anyone can refer to it. Ideological supporters of shooting in JPG format can find everything they need in the camera - automatic white balance, color temperature presets in the form of icons of the sun, clouds, and light bulbs.

In all cases where the shooting situation allowed, I set the sensitivity to 200 ISO, increasing it as needed. At a sensitivity of 200, the device takes excellent pictures, the color is correct, the texture of homogeneous areas is uniform, and the dynamic range is quite wide. In the RAW converter, you can pull out a couple of steps in the highlights and shadows. Here are some examples of full frame and 100% close-up frames.

In low light conditions and the resulting increased sensitivity, I believe maximum value is 800 ISO, values ​​higher have high level noise that destroys the image. The value 12000 and higher can only be set if on a dark, dark night you witnessed the landing of a flying saucer and you need confirmation of your words that those little green men you talked about really communicated with you. Another application for this sensitivity would be an art project at the Museum of Modern Art, in which case photographs would need to be printed at least 3 x 3 meters in size. In a city at night, using high-aperture optics with a fully open aperture, I limited the sensitivity to 800, while shutter speeds were 1/50, 1/20 seconds, which made it possible to do without a tripod.

The built-in flash correctly illuminated the foreground without disturbing the overall light atmosphere, which indicates the correct exposure automation implemented in the camera. Dynamic range is also quite good, allowing you to see details in highlights and shadows. In night scenes, autofocus worked less confidently, and in this frame, every half-press on the shutter button led to focusing in a completely arbitrary place. A scene with an abundance of glass surfaces, glare and reflections can confuse a much more advanced DSLR. Switching the camera to manual focus mode solved this problem.

The camera can take panoramas; after setting the appropriate mode, a stripe of an already stitched image appears in the viewfinder, and the camera switches to burst mode. The photographer can only smoothly turn the camera from left to right, guided by the readings of the electronic horizon. It should be noted that the electron horizon is extremely useful feature and during normal shooting, allowing you to avoid blockages and distortions of the camera, which is especially important when using wide-angle optics. If necessary, the electronic horizon can be turned on and off at the touch of a button. Let's return to our panoramas, when working outdoors and indoors, day and evening, the Lumix coped with the task perfectly.

If you try to pan the camera too quickly, distortions occur and the panorama is stitched incorrectly.

Currently, all manufacturers of amateur photographic equipment equip their devices with filters and effects, and the Lumix DMC-G6 we are considering is not left out. Monochrome image, vignetting, monocle and high dynamic range imitation, forced saturation and local color, more than ten effects are present in our camera. How appropriate they are in each specific case is up to the photographer to decide, but the manufacturer provided us with this opportunity.

In conclusion, it should be noted who the camera in question is actually aimed at. The Lumix DMC-G6 will be of interest primarily to enthusiastic amateurs who have already outgrown the capabilities of compact cameras with fixed optics, but do not agree with the weight and price of digital SLRs. Nothing prevents you from making money with our camera; the image quality, reliability of production and ease of operation will allow you to carry out wedding photography, photography in kindergartens and schools, as well as portraits of industry leaders. MTBF will be much higher than when using digital SLRs, since the Lumix DMC-G6 has virtually no mechanical moving parts, which are the weakest link in modern photographic equipment.

Of course, the full benefits of the Micro Four Thirds system and the Lumix DMC-G6 camera can only be realized using interchangeable lenses. What lenses manufacturers pleased us with, and the features of their use we will consider in the following articles.

Happy shooting!
