Panasonic DMC G2 Body:
R 4 399.00
The compact and lightweight (19.68 oz, 558 g) Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2K
Interchangeable Lens System Digital Camera with a Micro Four Thirds
Lumix G Vario 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Asph./Mega O.I.S. lens makes taking
photos fun and simple. The G2 features full-time Live View which works
with both the LCD and the Live View Finder. This means that you see
before you shoot how adjusting the exposure compensation, white balance,
aperture and even the shutter speed will affect the image.
The movable 3.0" (7.6cm) LCD Touch Screen allows image capture,
engagement of special shooting modes and playback with a simple touch.
For example, via the LCD you can engage the iA (Intelligent Auto)
feature which automatically selects one of six specialized modes to
optimize exposure and focus for the particular subject you are shooting.
If you are covering a sporting event or you're capturing precious images
of your fast-moving toddler for example, iA will engage AF Tracking
which follows the subject's trail and continuously keep it in focus
until the shutter release is pressed.
When your subjects are groups of people, such as friends and family, iA
can enlist the Face Recognition mode in which the G2 will recognize up
to 3 faces and optimize focus and exposure. The convenience of face
recognition even goes one step further as the G2 allows you to
pre-register subjects in the camera with full-face portraits so when you
compose your photo the names of the registered people show up on the
LCD.
Whether using the touch screen or the dedicated video record button, the
G2 shoots HD movies in Motion JPEG or AVCHD Lite formats, allowing up to
180 minutes of continuous recording time while retaining excellent image
quality and sound. You can engage the camera's Movie mode for a variety
of professional-like movie effects such as blurring images that
transition into focus.
With advanced technology and convenient touch screen operation, the
Lumix G2 appeals to advanced photographers as well as novices who want
excellent image quality, user-friendly features and interchangeable
lenses without the complexity and weight of a digital SLR.
Features:
| Double Live View: Full-time Live View works
with both the LCD and the Live View Finder. This means that, no
matter which way you shoot, you see before you shoot how adjusting
the exposure compensation, white balance, aperture and even the
shutter speed will affect the image |
| The Live View Finder has large,
approximately 1.4x (0.7x in 35mm format), magnification and an
approximate 100% field of view. This combines with 1,440,000-dot
equivalent resolution to make it easy to get the exact image that
you see through the lens |
| The large 3.0 inch (7.6cm) LCD rotates 180°
horizontally and 270° vertically, making it easy to capture
dynamic shots from extreme angles without getting into an awkward
position |
| 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 |
| Just touch the LCD to indicate the subject
and the G2 focuses on it instantly. Choose from four AF modes to
match the conditions. You can also operate the auto focus and
shutter release at the same time with just a touch, for a
completely new way to shoot |
| In iA (Intelligent Auto) mode, simply touch
the subject on the LCD and the LUMIX G2 automatically selects the
optimal scene mode. The G2 automatically determines the most
suitable Scene mode and helps correct blurring, focus and
brightness problems to capture great photos |
| Adjust the exposure compensation by sliding
your finger on the aperture and shutter speed settings in the
exposure meter shown on the LCD. The range in which appropriate
exposure is not possible is shown in red, so you can intuitively
grasp the corresponding aperture and shutter speed combinations |
| A touch is all it takes to make a variety of
settings, including photo size, ISO sensitivity and white balance.
You spend less time fiddling with the camera and more time getting
great shots |
| The hybrid Lumix G2 lets you take both high
quality photos and HD movies. You can shoot breathtaking HD (1280x
720) movies in AVCHD Lite (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) |
| Record for a longer time without running out
of memory because AVCHD Lite stores less data than Motion JPEG
while maintaining stunning image clarity and detail. A dedicated
button on the top lets you instantly start recording movies while
shooting photos, without having to make any extra settings |
| Motion Picture P mode makes it extremely
easy to shoot beautiful HD movies. You can freely set the degree
of soft focusing in the background to capture rich, emotionally
expressive HD movie images |
| Select iA mode and the G2 automatically
activates a host of advanced functions and technologies that make
it easy to capture beautiful HD movies |
| The Intelligent Scene Selector function
automatically selects the most suitable Scene mode for the
shooting situation you are in. These scene modes include:
Portrait, Night Portrait, Scenery, Night Scenery, Close-up or
Sunset |
| This function recognizes the faces of up to
three people that have been pre-registered in the camera and
displays their names on the LCD. The Lumix G2 then optimizes the
focus and brightness of the recognized faces and captures them
clearly and beautifully |
| The Face Detection AF/AE function determines
if there are any faces in the image and adjusts the focus and
exposure to capture them correctly |
| Once you focus on your subject, AF Tracking
automatically and continuously tracks it and keeps it in focus,
even if it moves, until you press the shutter release. This
feature is ideal for shooting sports or fast-moving children |
| In the Intelligent Exposure mode 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 |
| If the subject moves as you shoot, the
Intelligent ISO control automatically adjusts the ISO sensitivity
and shutter speed to help prevent subject blur |
| My Color mode makes it easy to capture
creative images. Just aim the camera and select any of seven
preset effects, including Silhouette, Expressive, Pure and others,
while checking the image in Live View |
| The Custom setting lets you adjust the
color, brightness and saturation to your liking, to further expand
your creative palette |
| Users can touch one thumbnail viewed among
many to quickly and easily see the full size of the desired photo.
Also, to view images one-by-one, photos can be dragged across the
screen to browse as though flipping the pages of a book |
| The Lumix G2 is equipped with an HDMI output
terminal for direct transmission of digital image and sound
signals. Just connect it to an HDTV using a single HDMI mini cable
(optional). It's also easy to enjoy slideshows in which both
photos and movies are played according to the recorded timeline |
| On a Viera TV, you can control the camera's
playback functions with Viera's remote control unit |
| Simply take your SDXC, SDHC, or SD memory
card from the G2 and slip it into the card slot of a Viera or
Blu-ray disc player and you're ready to view HD images. For even
greater impact and entertainment fun, you can add background music
and image effects to your image slideshows |
| To complement its high-quality video
capabilities, the LUMIX G2 features advanced audio options, as
sound is recorded with Dolby Digital Creator (included) and an
optional accessory stereo microphone can be attached |
| A Wind Cut function further enhances the
sound as it helps reduce noise caused from background wind |
| The Venus Engine HD II incorporates two
CPUs. This not only boosts image processing speed, it also helps
achieve an exceptional noise-reduction performance. Also, the two
CPUs of the Venus Engine HD II allow long-time movie recording in
AVCHD Lite while maintaining low power consumption |
| The Venus Engine HD II features a new
circuit that makes Intelligent Resolution Technology possible too |
| In iA mode, the Lumix G2 automatically
identifies parts with outlines, detailed texture areas and soft
gradation areas and optimizes the edge emphasis on the outlines
and detailed texture areas while using the Venus Engine noise
reduction process to make the soft gradation areas smoother |
| The G2 helps eliminate the possibility of
dust by placing a Supersonic Wave Filter in front of the Live MOS
sensor, vibrating around 50,000 times per second, the filter
repels dust and other particles. This keeps the image sensor clean
at all times |
| The Lumix G Vario 14-42mm f/3.5 Asph./Mega
O.I.S. lens incorporates Panasonic's Mega O.I.S. (Optical Image
Stabilizer), using gyro sensors built into the lens, to suppress
the blur caused by a shaky hand and make it easy to shoot clear
photographs even in low-light situations |
| Adopting an inner-focus system driven by a
stepping motor, the superior optical design realizes outstanding
smoothness to support the high-speed AF (Auto Focus) system of
Lumix G cameras |
