The Lumix L10 weighs 508 grams and features a magnesium alloy front case and a metal exterior partially wrapped in a textured finish designed to look like saffiano leather. Beneath its retro-inspired exterior is a 20.4MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor that’s also found in the Lumix GH7. However, while the GH7 is a video powerhouse, that’s not what the new L10 is designed for. It can still capture 4K videos at up to 120fps to several formats, including Panasonic’s MP4 Lite, but its compact size limits its heat dissipation capabilities which in turn limits recording length.
The camera’s 24-75mm Leica lens has an aperture range of f/1.7 to f/2.8 that’s adjustable through a lens ring while macro shooting capabilities allow autofocus to capture a subject as close as 3cm away. The L10’s phase hybrid focus system uses 779 autofocus points spread across the frame to track moving subjects using an AI-based real-time recognition system capable of locking onto eyes, faces, bodies, animals, or vehicles. High-speed shooting maxes out at 30fps using only an electronic shutter, or 11fps using the camera’s mechanical shutter.
On the back of the L10 you’ll find an articulated 1.84-million-dot screen as well as a 2.36-million-dot OLED viewfinder. There’s also a dedicated button for loading and applying different types of color effects and simulated film styles which can be customized using Panasonic’s Lumix Lab mobile app and uploaded to the camera.
