Newly developed approximately 25.2MP lens that achieves high resolution, high speed performance, and on-chip phase detection AF. Back-illuminated CMOS Image Sensor: A newly developed back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with approximately 25.2 effective megapixels. The sensor achieves high-precision on-chip phase-detection AF with a phase-detection sensor, while also achieving a wide dynamic range and fast response. The optical low-pass filter-less design maximizes resolution, delivering precise subject detail. Its pixel count is enhanced while maintaining improved saturation performance, resulting in smooth, rich tonal gradation. The faster readout speed enables faster continuous shooting, suppressing rolling shutter distortion even when shooting moving subjects at high speed with the electronic shutter. ISO sensitivity is now available starting from ISO100, supporting high-resolution video recording, including 5.7K 60p. The high-speed readout performance also enables Cinema4K and 4K 120p high frame rate shooting. Supports V-Log shooting for rich gradation and flexible grading. Equipped with V-Gamut, it enables beautiful image expression with a dynamic range that depicts details from dark to highlight areas, rich gradation, and a wide color gamut when shooting in Log. Furthermore, when shooting in V-Log, it is equipped with "Log View Assist," which displays the image after applying the LUT in the viewfinder or monitor, allowing you to check the finished look. It also allows you to edit with consistent image quality in post-production when combining with video recorded with a V-Log compatible digital single-lens camera, the LUMIX S series, Panasonic's digital cinema camera VARICAM series, or a V-Log L compatible digital single-lens camera, the LUMIX G series. 13+ stop dynamic range boost for HDR images The L2000 features dynamic range boost, which combines two images, one generated by the image sensor's "low ISO circuit" for saturation priority and the other generated by the "high ISO circuit" for low noise, at a blending ratio appropriate for each pixel based on the amount of light. This effectively enriches the dark gradation in RAW data when taking photos. Furthermore, when shooting video, especially in V-Log mode, it achieves 13+ stops of dynamic range, the highest among LUMIX Micro Four Thirds cameras. Despite being a high-resolution Micro Four Thirds camera with a small pixel pitch, it can capture wide-ranging images with minimal blown-out highlights and crushed shadows, even in scenes with large contrasts between indirect indoor light and sunlight outdoors. The new-generation L2 engine, jointly developed by Leica and Panasonic, maximizes image sensor performance, improving image quality and AF performance. The new-generation Venus Engine, equipped with L-Square Technology, quickly processes image information output from the high-pixel sensor, delivering high-resolution, natural-looking textures. Furthermore, new Intelligent Detail Processing and noise reduction, which deliver high resolution and three-dimensional rendering, deliver superior processing performance for high image quality, high sensitivity, and color reproduction in both still and video shooting. It also quickly processes high-resolution video, such as 5.7K 60p 10-bit recording. In terms of AF performance, faster processing speeds and improved AF algorithms have significantly improved subject detection performance, enabling high-precision AF by identifying the subject's movement and characteristics. Advanced Real-Time Recognition AF, featuring on-chip phase detection AF, achieves high-precision AF performance. Real-Time Recognition AF allows you to combine the optimal AF mode for each shooting scene. The combination of on-chip phase detection AF (779 AF points), conventional contrast AF (315 AF points), and advanced recognition AF covers a wide focus range, enabling flexible focusing in both photos and videos. Advanced Recognition AF By developing a recognition AI using deep learning technology, the camera can now quickly and accurately recognize smaller subjects, even in its existing "person recognition" and "animal recognition" functions. In addition to the existing recognition targets, the camera now also features "animal eye recognition," "car recognition," "motorcycle recognition," "airplane recognition," and "train recognition." By combining distance information, the camera achieves highly accurate focusing performance for both still and video shooting. Versatile focus functions support a variety of shooting environments. The versatile focus functions are useful for capturing a variety of subjects, regardless of weather or shooting environment. By selecting the optimal AF function for the shooting scene or subject, you can concentrate on capturing the perfect shot. Auto-detection AF offers greater flexibility by combining various AF modes, allowing you to select the optimal combination for each shooting scene. Furthermore, the joystick supports eight-way operation (vertical, horizontal, and diagonal) for speedy AF operation. The AF Point Scope function allows you to magnify and view distant subjects. The AF Point Scope function allows you to zoom in on the focused area when you focus on the desired subject. Taking advantage of the strengths of the live viewfinder, you can zoom in on the subject to confirm focus or observe it like a telescope.
