20.3mp, no AA low pass filter
225 CDAF points instead of only 49 but no PDAF points as relies on the software based DFD C-AF tracking system (only works with Panasonic Micro Four Thirds lenses at this stage)
new Venus Engine 10 image engine - 1.3x faster, better high ISO (“2EV better than GH4” thanks to new High Precision Multi Process NR), improved DFD AF with 480 fps drive speed and the time for measuring the distance to the subject is 6x faster, while factoring the distance into in-plane or in-depth is 2x faster
ultra-high-speed AF of approximately 0.05 sec
By analyzing every single frame precisely, it achieves a maximum 200% higher precision frame detection with minimum motion detection error for higher tracking tolerance against moving subjects
customizable AF system: AF Sensitivity, AF Area Switching Sensitivity, Moving object prediction predictability
Multi-pixel Luminance Generation renders clear, sharp images by referring to a 9x larger area of pixel information during the de-mosaic process for precise detail reproduction
burst: 9fps with C-AF x 100RAW; 12fps without CAF
mechanical shutter to 1/8000 sec with flash sync 1/250th sec
electronic 1st curtain shutter to 1/2000th sec with flash sync
full electronic shutter to 1/16000th sec

new rear rotating dial
new built-in microphone that helps cancel out camera noise
updated cleaner, more intuitive menu system
new Focus Transition function
removes AF errors by allowing the operator to define three focus depths before recording begins, then selectively switch between them, as they shoot, and you can choose the refocus speed (in five steps)
Post Focus function
