Low light & noise
3.3 µm pixels
20.4 MP on a micro four thirds sensor, ISO up to 102,400
Bigger pixels gather more light each, so they tend to show less noise at high ISO, but sensor design matters as much. For real noise at ISO 6400, these sites measure it:
- Photons to Photos: dynamic range vs ISO ↗Photographic dynamic range measured at every ISO, bodies on one chart
- Photons to Photos: noise vs ISO ↗Read noise at every ISO from lab tests: lower is cleaner in the shadows
- DPReview studio scene ↗The same scene shot by each camera at the ISO you pick, side by side
- DPReview reviews ↗Full reviews with high-ISO samples
- Low-light video tests ↗Real-world high-ISO footage on YouTube

- 5.76M dots — a sharper viewfinder than 97% of the micro four thirds mirrorless cameras we list
- 120 fps — faster bursts than 94% of the micro four thirds mirrorless cameras we list
- 8 stops — more stabilisation than 92% of the micro four thirds mirrorless cameras we list
