This contrast-detection type focus method benefits both still and video recording modes, as well as subject tracking applications where subject color, size, and motion vectors are used to intelligently lock-onto the moving subjects and ensure precise focus. When working with portrait subjects, face/eye detection capabilities make it easier to photograph people and prioritize focusing as specifically as on a subject's pupil. The focusing sensitivity and speed can be adjusted to further improve performance with certain subjects. Additionally, AF sensitivity down to -4 EV supports working in low-light conditions<br><br>Benefitting manual focus operation, focus peaking is available that highlights bright edges of contrast with a colored outline for quickly recognizing your focus point, as well as Touch MF Assist for touch-to-focus operation. MF Assist can also be used to increase magnification by up to 20x for more critical focusing on specific subjects.</div> </div> </div> <div class="feature_UbV5SNP5Eo"> <div class="featureHeader_UbV5SNP5Eo"> <div class="text_TAw0W35QK_ comfy_TAw0W35QK_ sizeTitle3_TAw0W35QK_ weightNormal_TAw0W35QK_ primary_i3MsQsqoe0">Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH.
