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.
See it all
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. 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.
Micro Four Thirds
The G1 adopts the Micro Four Thirds System standard, developed as an extended version of the Four Thirds System standard for digital camera systems. Using this standard, and developing a camera body that eliminates the mirror box and optical viewfinder unit, we managed to reduce the lens mount diameter by about 6 mm (compared with the conventional Four Thirds camera) and shorten the flange-back distance by about half. The result is a digital interchangeable lens camera that's both extremely compact and highly mobile.
Intelligent Auto: no kidding!
If you've hesitated to buy a digital SLR camera because you think they're hard to use, your wait is over. Intelligent Auto mode activates 6 detection and compensation functions that work automatically, leaving you free to just aim and shoot. For shake detection, there is a MEGA Optical Image Stabilization function to prevent blurring for those who may not have the steadiest hand. For moving subjects, there is motion detection with Intelligent ISO control. There is light detection with intelligent exposure to provide beautifully-lit photos in nearly any circumstances. There is also Advanced Face Detection auto-focus and auto-exposure to ensure that your subjects' faces aren't blurry or shadowed. Intelligent Scene Selector automatically chooses the right scene mode for any situation so you don't have to adjust a bunch of settings to get a good picture. Finally auto-focus tracking follows moving targets and adjusts the shot accordingly. No wonder it's called intelligent auto!
HD output for the HDTV age
Just connect your G1 to an HDTV and you're ready for high definition viewing. If your TV is HDMI compatible, a single HDMI mini cable (optional) is all you need. Even better, with a Panasonic VIERA HDTV, you can also operate the G1 with the VIERA remote control for even easier viewing. The G1 shoots wide-screen, 16:9, full-HD images. These images are simply breathtaking when displayed on an HDTV, which handles about four times the data of a standard-definition TV. Enjoy a whole new style of HDTV viewing with family and friends.
Blast from the past
With digital cameras becoming more and more prominent every year, practiced photographers might feel like the "feel" of photography with film is gone. But that's not the case with G1 from Panasonic. Much like changing the film type in a film camera, you can enjoy a wide range of expression based on six color modes and three monochromatic modes. When the multi-film mode is selected, you can record pictures having up to three different effects with each press of the shutter button. In My Color mode you can freely adjust the color, brightness and saturation of an image, while checking it with Full-time Live View. This gives you the power to control how your image will look. You can even make dramatic color changes. This freedom is a welcome change from typical digital cameras.
Burst!
Sometimes, it's hard to get the perfect shot in one try, especially with quickly moving subjects. Luckily, there's an easier way to get the shot. With burst mode, you can shoot up to three pictures per second, greatly increasing your chances of snapping the pic at exactly the right time. You can shoot up to seven RAW pictures, or until you fill the memory card (or the battery dies) in non-RAW format. This mode is also good for group pictures, when you never know when someone might blink, so you can use burst mode, then choose the best picture later, and delete the rest.
