It is important to note that some sales offers may include additional accessories, but these items are usually included in the standard kit delivery.
The Panasonic Lumix G100D is a versatile camera, but for the specific requirements of northern lights photography there are a few points to consider:
- Sensor size and sensitivity: the camera has a Micro Four Thirds MOS sensor with 20.3 megapixels and an ISO sensitivity of 200-25600, which is suitable for taking pictures in low light.
- Image stabilisation: The camera has 5-axis hybrid image stabilisation, which is helpful when taking pictures in the dark and with long exposure times.
- Exposure times: The camera allows exposure times of up to 60 seconds, which can be useful for taking pictures of the Northern Lights.
However, it should be noted that the camera does not have any specific functions for astrophotography or northern lights photography, such as an integrated star guide or special exposure modes for these applications.
Overall, the Lumix G100D is suitable for Northern Lights photography, but it might be useful to use additional equipment such as a tripod and possibly a remote control or remote control app to achieve the best quality.
The Panasonic Lumix DC-G100D is not ideal for northern lights photography, admittedly because of its versatile functions, but there are some limitations to consider:
- Light sensitivity: the camera has an ISO sensitivity of 200-25600, expandable to 100-25600, which is sufficient for low-light photography. however, it may still be limited in extremely dark conditions such as northern lights photography.
- Shutter speed: The camera supports slower shutter speeds of up to 60 seconds, which is useful for photographing the Northern Lights.
- Stabilisation: The camera has optical and electronic image stabilisation, but using the strongest electronic stabilisation may result in a tighter crop, which could be unfavourable for northern lights photography.
Overall, the camera is suitable for low-light photography, but specialised cameras with better low-light properties and less crop for stabilisation may be better suited for northern lights photography.
