The navigational pad also doubles up as a scrolling dial which you can use for a variety of settings, depending on what you’re doing at the time. As this is a camera marketed at entry-level users, the design and usage of the camera has been kept pretty simple.

There’s a four-way navigational pad, with each of the directional keys having a specific default function. For beginners, iA (Intelligent Auto) mode provides beautiful pictures with a variety of shooting-assist functions including AF Tracking, Intelligent Scene Selector, Face Recognition, Intelligent ISO Control and Food Recognition.By capturing 30 images before and after the press though, 4K Photo has provided a wealth of images for me to choose from.

If you’re after the really shallow depth of field effect, you may want to consider purchasing a pancake prime lens for this camera - there’s plenty of prime lenses to choose from for Micro Four Thirds, but some of the larger lenses may leave the Panasonic Lumix DC-GX800 feeling a little unbalanced and unwieldy. The key is to be careful and shoot several versions so you can pick the best, and of course consider cropping-off any less successful portions at the ends. In 4K PHOTO, three modes can be chosen from depending on the situation; 4K Burst, 4K Burst (Start/Stop) and 4K Pre-burst. The popular Creative Control mode features a total of 22 filter options and the effect parameter of each mode is also adjustable.

This being Panasonic there’s also 4K video recording and its associated 4K Photo mode for extracting 8MP stills from 30fps 4K footage. I should however note the contrast-based AF system does have to overshoot the target a little and pull-back to be sure though, resulting in a little focus wobbling for hunting.Once again, the ability to swap lenses is the key benefit the Lumix GX800 / GX850 has over fixed-lens premium compacts like the Sony RX100 series. I’ve indicated the crop versus a full image above, where the outer edge of the red frame represents the 4K coverage.
