Full-time Live View shows you - before you shoot - how the settings change the photo
Taking photos is a lot more fun when you don't have to struggle to get perfect images. With the LUMIX G Micro System – and its Full-time Live View – using a digital interchangeable lens camera is now as easy as using a digital compact camera. The LUMIX G Micro System can display guidelines and a histogram on the LCD and Live View Finder along with the image composition. But more than that, you can see through them – before pressing the shutter button – how the exposure compensation and white balance adjustment will affect the photo. You can even see how adjusting the aperture and shutter speed settings will affect the photo. In other words, the LUMIX G Micro System gives you easy Live View shooting that simply isn't possible with conventional digital SLR cameras.

Bright and easy-to-see free-angle LCD
The large 3.0-inch LCD rotates 180º horizontally and 270º 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.

High angle shots over a crowd
Shots around obstacles or barriers, where an ordinary viewfinder just won't work
Tripod shots without having to crouch
Low angle shots near ground level

iA mode can make all the right settings – automatically
If you've resisted buying a digital SLR camera because you think they're hard to use, your wait is over. Meet the LUMIX G Micro System, with iA (Intelligent Auto) mode. A big hit in LUMIX compact digital cameras, iA mode activates six detection and compensation functions that work automatically, leaving you free to just aim and shoot. It's easier to get a beautiful shot any time, any place.

Shake detection – MEGA O.I.S.--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.

Light detection – Intelligent Exposure--The camera can correct the brightness in parts of the image that are too dark due to insufficient lighting, backlighting or use of the flash.

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.

Subject detection – AF Tracking--Once you've focused on a subject, AF Tracking keeps the subject in focus – even if it moves – until you press the shutter button.

Digital Red-Eye Correction for beautiful night portraits The red-eye correction in the built-in flash and the camera's image processing circuit work together to reduce red-eye when you're using the flash to take shots of people.

Live View Finder makes shooting through the viewfinder more accurate and comfortable.
You've never looked into a viewfinder like this one. Developed by Panasonic for the LUMIX G Micro System, this high-performance electronic viewfinder boasts a Fulltime 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.

Eye sensor: Live View Finder switches on when you look into it
When you look into the 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.
