ISO

Aperture
You can set the aperture directly using the lens ring if your lens has an aperture control ring.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 has in-body image stabilization (IBIS), allowing you to shoot handheld in low light without worrying about camera shake. This feature is particularly useful when you want to capture sharp images indoors or at night.
Use the tilting touchscreen of the Lumix DMC-GX85 to compose shots from unique angles. This is especially handy for street photography or when shooting over crowds, as you can maintain a clear view of your composition.
Activate Focus Peaking on the Lumix DMC-GX85 to easily identify the areas in focus when using manual focus. This feature highlights the edges of your subject, making it ideal for portraits or achieving precise focus with shallow depth of field.
The electronic viewfinder (EVF) of the Lumix DMC-GX85 offers a live histogram overlay, helping you to evaluate exposure in real-time. This ensures your shots are well-exposed before you even press the shutter button.
Utilize the Silent Mode on the Lumix DMC-GX85 for discreet shooting in quiet environments. This mode disables all camera sounds, making it perfect for capturing candid moments without drawing attention.
