Dynamic range

As expected from a micro four thirds sensor, the Lumix DMC-GF5 struggles a little with shadow detail, and highlights tend to blow out more easily compared to an APS-C-sized sensor. That said, the evaluative metering and contrast curve seem to compensate well for any slight restriction in dynamic range.

However, for those more used to a compact camera or even a mobile phone, the dynamic range of the GF5 will be more than suitable.
