The LUMIX G1 is as easy to use as a compact digital camera, with the stunning photo quality of a digital SLR camera. It's a new-generation digital interchangeable lens camera that does away with the mirror box and complies with the new Micro Four Thirds System standard. In short, the G1 writes an entirely new chapter in the evolution of the digital interchangeable lens camera.

FEATURES:

  • Full-time Live View shows you before you shoot how the settings change the photo
  • The G1's Full-time Live View is revolutionary. It lets you see in the LCD how adjusting the exposure, white balance, aperture and even the shutter speed will affect the photo. This kind of super-easy live view shooting has never before been possible with a conventional digital SLR camera.
  • Live View Finder - an electronic viewfinder complete with Full-time Live View
  • You've never looked into a viewfinder like this one. Developed by Panasonic for the G1, this high-performance electronic viewfinder boasts a Full-time Live View function that converts the optical viewfinder unit into a digital form. You experience a new level of shooting convenience through the high-performance viewfinder that is simply not possible with optical viewfinders of the past.
  • 100% field of view with high resolution
  • The G1's Live View Finder has the large 1.4x (0.7x*) magnification and 100% field of view of the optical viewfinders on high-end digital SLR cameras. This, plus the 1,440,000-dot equivalent resolution, makes it easy to shoot the exact image the camera sees.
  • Eye Sensor: Live View Finder switches on when you look into it
  • When you look into viewfinder, a sensor automatically turns the Live View Finder on and the LCD off. You enjoy smoother, easier shooting without having to switch the setting of the display.
  • Freely customizable information display
  • Customize the camera to fit your preference by changing the display style or switching to a full-screen display. The G1 also features the Quick Menu that's popular on LUMIX compact digital cameras, so you can make a variety of settings without taking your eye from the Live View Finder.
  • 3.0-inch free-angle LCD with high 460,000-dot resolution
  • The large 3.0-inch LCD rotates 180° horizontally and 270° vertically, making it easy for you to capture dynamic shots from extreme angles without getting into an awkward position. And when the lighting around you changes, the LCD backlighting level automatically changes too, so you get comfortable, easy-on-the-eyes viewing at all times.
  • iA mode can make all the right settings - automatically
  • The G1's Full-time Live View is revolutionary. It lets you see in the LCD how adjusting the exposure, white balance, aperture and even the shutter speed will affect the photo. This kind of super-easy live view shooting has never before been possible with a conventional digital SLR camera.
  • Shake detection - MEGA O.I.S.
  • The Gyrosensors built into the lens detect hand-shake and an O.I.S. shifts to compensate. Assisting you in getting those clear, beautiful, blur-free photos.
  • Motion detection - Intelligent ISO Control
  • If the subject moves as you snap the shot, the camera automatically adjusts the ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to help prevent subject blur.
  • Face detection - Face Detection AF/AE
  • The camera detects when there are faces in the frame and adjusts the focus and exposure to capture them properly. This allows you to shoot beautiful portraits without any hassle.
  • Scene detection - Intelligent Scene Selector
  • The camera automatically selects whichever of five Scene modes - Portrait, Night Portrait, Scenery, Night Scenery, and Close-up - best suits the situation.
  • Contrast AF helps make Full-time Live View even more effective
  • The G1 not only gives you the advantages of Full-time Live View, it also adds contrast AF for even easier, more accurate focusing. These technologies make possible a variety of convenient functions - such as Face Detection AF and AF Tracking - that digital SLR cameras with phase difference AF systems cannot offer.
