Panasonic DMC-G1 Lumix DSLR 12 Megapixel Digital Camera - Black
shipped from J&R
Includes 14-45mm 3x Zoom Lens / 3 Inch LCD / HDMI output for high-def images on
HDTV / SD and SDHC Memory Card Slot /
Based on the new Micro Four Thirds System
standard, the LUMIX G1 eliminates the internal mirror structure that defines Digital single-lens reflex (DSLR)
cameras, thus reducing the size and Weight by nearly half. With the
mirror-less system, the G1’s flange back, which is the distance between the
mount and the image sensor, has been reduced from 40 mm - as specified in the
Four Thirds System - to approximately 20 mm. This allows greater accuracy and
precision than ever in a digital SLR camera.
The Live View Finder and the
bright 460,000-dot resolution, 3.0-inch LCD provide a 100% field of view, letting the
User adjust settings before taking a
shot, which is a great learning tool for consumers beginning to use manual
controls, as they can visually confirm the effects of changed settings. The G1
introduces a new Contrast AF (Auto Focus) function that is not only accurate and
easy to use, but also very fast. Users can choose from a wide-range of AF modes,
including multiple-area AF with up to 23 focus areas, 1-area AF with a
selectable focus area, Face Detection, and AF Tracking. In the 1-area AF mode,
the AF frame size can be changed by simply turning a dial. The G1 also has a
Quick AF function that begins focusing as soon as the user aims the camera.
AF Tracking - Automatically tracks the subject as it moves
Intelligent Exposure - Helps
prevents photos from being under- or over-exposed by analyzing the framed image
and adjusting the brightness in areas that are too dark because of dim lighting,
backlighting or the use of the flash
MEGA O.I.S. - Gyrosensors detect hand-shake and lens system shifts to
compensate, helping to prevent hand movement from creating a blurry image
Intelligent ISO
Intelligent Scene Selector - Senses ambient conditions and automatically
selects the appropriate mode from Scenery, Portrait, Close-up, Night Portrait or
Night Scenery
Face Detection modes
Live MOS Sensor - Provides the best of both worlds with high image quality
from a CCD sensor, and the lower-power
consumption of a CMOS
Venus Engine HD - New imaging processor
enhances noise reduction and provides independent gradation control for each of
the R, G and B colors
HDMI output
4:3 and 16:9 Image capture ratios
144-zone sensing exposure - AE and Manual
TTL Flash
Body Dimensions (HxWxD) 3.3 x 4.9 x1.8"
