Is this camera suitable for northern lights photography?
9 months ago
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G70KAEGK is a versatile camera, but for northern lights photography there are a few points to consider to judge its suitability:
## Sensitivity and ISO
- The camera has an ISO sensitivity of 100 to 25,600, which may be sufficient for capturing low light sources such as the Northern Lights.
## Exposure time and control
- The camera offers a long exposure time of up to 60 seconds, which is useful for capturing long exposure images in low light.
## Manual control
- The camera offers manual control over aperture, shutter speed and ISO, allowing the settings to be adjusted precisely to the conditions of northern lights photography.
## Stabilisation
- Although the supplied lens (LUMIX G VARIO 14-42mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH / O.I.S.) has optical image stabilisation (O.I.S.), it is advisable to use a tripod for long exposure times and low light conditions to avoid camera shake.
## Display and viewfinder
- The camera has a rotatable and swivelling LCD touchscreen and an OLED viewfinder, which makes it easier to operate in the dark.
Overall, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G70KAEGK is suitable for northern lights photography, provided you use the right settings and possibly additional equipment such as a tripod.
