The LUMIX G95 features a 20.3-megapixel Digital Live MOS sensor, which features 5-axis dual image-stabiliser with both OIS and BIS. Users will be able to shoot sharp and clear photos/videos even in the dark, thanks to the dual image stabiliser. It also features a technology called DFD (Depth from Defocus), which improves the focus speed and accuracy. Panasonic claims that the camera can autofocus in just 0.07 second and shoot at a maximum 240 frames per second. 

Improvements have also been made to the burst mode, which can now shoot at 9fps or 6fps for JPEG and RAW. There are plenty of autofocus features such as face detection, eye detection, pinpoint focus, one-shot focus, and lowlight focus. According to Panasonic, the G95 was designed for one-hand usage. The camera features an OLED view finder with 2360K-dot resolution and a tiltable 3.0-inch LCD touchscreen at the back.

You can also add an external microphone via the inbuilt 3.5mm microphone jack. 4K photo users can utilise features such as Auto Marking, Sequence Composition, Post Focus, Light Composition and more. 

For connectivity, the G95 features Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy as well as in-built Wi-Fi. You can connect the camera with your smartphone/tablet to instantly share images. The battery is rechargeable via a USB or AC cord. You can also attach a battery grip, which allows for longer shoot time.
