Shutter Button (Taking Pictures) - Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S Operating Instructions For Advanced Features

2. Getting Started/Basic Operations
Notes on automatic viewfinder/monitor switching
∫
Bring your eye or an object near the viewfinder to automatically switch to the viewfinder
display using the eye sensor.
• To reduce the battery consumption, set [Power Save LVF Shooting] in [Economy] (P254).
• Eye sensor might not work properly depending on the shape of your eyeglasses, the way you
hold the camera, or bright light shining around the eyepiece. In that case, press [LVF] to switch
the display.
• During motion picture playback or a slide show, the camera does not automatically switch the
display to the Viewfinder with the eye sensor.
• The eye sensor does not work depending on the angle of the monitor.

Press the shutter button fully (push it in further), and
take the picture.

can instantly set the camera ready for recording.
