Panasonic is set to release Post Focus mode, enabling users to select the subject they wish to be in focus after a photo has been taken, for its Lumix DMC-GX8 and DMC-G7 G Series cameras and DMC-FZ300 compact super-zoom later this month.Post Focus mode captures all possible focus points from foreground to background with each shutter press, with Panasonic stating it is “ideal for situations such as macro or food photography”, with the ability to refine the image post-shot providing for sharp and accurate focus on a precise area.
“Post Focus is designed for macro shooting, food or portraiture where perfect focus is a must in achieving that great creative shot,” Scott Mellish, Panasonic business manager, G Series, commented.
