Despite the touchscreen, the inputs can also, as in compact cameras are made using the buttons and wheels of the camera. The touchscreen responds very quickly and setting about it is only matter of habit. To the many menus, submenus and setting options you have to get used only once. By 920,000 points you have on the screen but a really sharp view.
For newcomers to system camera things, provides the GF5 for Scene Modes help for all settings and in addition also still vivid example images. One can slowly approach the art work.
Very surprised me with the camera autofocus. This is absolutely nimble. In daylight takes just 0.3 seconds digits until sharp. In the dim light she needs in my opinion, not really longer. In other words, the photographing eg running around children, nothing stands in the way.
Photo shots in daylight are sharp and bright, they showed hardly with me weaknesses. But with less light and ISO values over 1600 image noise increased significantly.
As well as the weakness of the built-in flash comes in. The flash illuminates motives unfortunately only one and a half meters wide and a little too dark.
Very handy is that if you want to photograph or film, you can adjust the zoom speed in the menu and thus smooth zooms during filming are possible. The engine is the way so quietly that he is practically inaudible as noise in the video.
What I see, for me, as a small gripe with the camera is that you have to remove the battery for charging from the camera. Find that somehow superfluous.
Conclusion:
This very compact system camera tries to predict all photographers to lure who do not know exactly whether they should switch from your small compact camera on system cameras. With pocket sized dimensions, ease of use and good image quality, the GF5 brings but exactly the right conditions with to facilitate newcomers the decision.
