Panasonics LUMIX DMC-G3 offers the benefits of a DSLR interchangeable
lens system camera with a point-and-shoot camera's compactness, light
weight and simplicity. This reduction in size and weight is thanks to
advancements in mirror-free viewfinder technology, and large DSLR format
sensors that are more compatible with a new class of compact Micro Four
Thirds (MFT) System lenses. This new class of Compact System Cameras
(CSC) offers a weight and compactness not seen in traditional DSLRs, for
greater portability and creative control. The DMC-G3 image resolution
has been upgraded to 16.0 Megapixels from it predecessorthe DMC-G2.
Mode Dial and Hotshoe
The DMC-G3 provides a traditional DSLR-like experience with an external
Mode dial for quick access to common modes like Program, Shutter and
Aperture Priority, Manual. Additional dial settings include two Custom
Modes, Scene Modes and the new Creative Control Mode. The DMC-G3
provides a dedicated video button that can be used to switch to video
capture quickly without changing modes. Likemost DSLRs, the DMC-G3
provides a built-in flash and hotshoe for connecting optional LUMIX
flashes.
Available Scene Modes: Portrait, Soft Skin, Scenery, Architecture,
Sports, Peripheral Defocus, Flower, Food, Objects, Night Portrait, Night
Scenery, Illuminations, Baby, Pet, Party and Sunset, which can all be
controlled from the intuitive touch-enabled LCD.
Lens Options and 3D Capture
LUMIX G Series Compact System Cameras utilize the Micro Four Thirds
(MFT) System mount. MFT offers greater size and weight reduction in the
lens without compromising lens performance and clarity. The LUMIX G MFT
System offers a selection of 11 high performance fixed focal length and
variable aperture G Vario zooms, including a highly versatile 3D lens
capable of capturing both 2D and 3D images at the same time. There are
lens adaptors available for mounting older Leica M and Leica R lenses,
including older LUMIX full Four Thirds lenses. An innovative 14-140mm HD
G Vario lens provides the best of video and still-image shooting with a
long 10x range and near silent high-speed focusing. When connected to
the DMC-G3, ultra fast focusing and auto subject track AF can be
achieved.
Many Lumix MFT lenses come with MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image
Stabilization) built-in. This feature helps prevent blurring from
hand-shake. Working together with the cameras intelligent ISO Control,
which reduces motions blur by adjusting the ISO sensitivity if the
subject moves, you're sure to capture images that are sharp.
Dust Reduction System
As with many interchangeable lens cameras, dust on the sensor reduces
image clarity. To eliminate this potential, The DMC-G3 uses a Dust
Reduction System that uses a supersonic wave filter in front of the Live
MOS sensor. Vibrating vertically around 50,000 time per second, the
filter repels dust and other particles effectively.
Touch-Enabled LCD Screen
At the heart of the DMC-G3's improved functionality is a movable
3.0-inch LCD (460k- dot) that allows for intuitive touch control of
menus and most shooting, focusing, playback and effects controls. Menus
can be customized using simple drag-and-drop actions like those on most
touch-enabled cell phones. This allows for a custom user interface,
giving Quick Menu access to functions that can be tailored to any user's
expertise level. Even the shutter can be triggered from the
touch-enabled LCD by simply touching the subject you want focused and
captured. Using the touch-screen operation, a user can lock onto a
subject, enabling AF Tracking in both still and video modes. When you're
ready to shoot, the subject will be in focus and ready to capture.
Live Viewfinder
For many, a traditional eyelevel viewfinder is still a must have. The
DMC-G3 meets this demand with an eye-level electronic viewfinder that
projects a high resolution 1.44m-dot image with 100% field of view
(800x600, 0.7x magnification). Color breakup has been improved vs. the
DMC-G2, resulting in smooth image viewing while panning.
HD Video Capture
The LUMIX DMC-G3 also shoots 1080/60i High Definition video using the
AVCHD format (sensor output 30p). It offers a built-in stereo microphone
and is available with Dolby Digital Stereo Creator. Advanced video sound
controls include a wind-cut function that further enhances the sound as
it helps reduce noise caused by background wind, and an L/R audio meter
display for controlling audio levels. Captured video can be played back
in High Definition via an optional HDMI mini cable directly to an
HD-compatible TV, or easily played directly on Panasonic VIERA TV via
the SD card. New near silent focusing features offered in several Lumix
Micro Four Thirds lenses helps keep lens noise at bay while the
touch-enabled LCD allows you to automatically keep active subjects in
focus with touch-enabled subject AF Tracking.
Faster, Accurate Pinpoint Focusing
Contrast Detection Auto Focus technology used in point-and-shoot and new
mirrorless Compact System Cameras now approaches the speedsthat were
once only available from traditional professional-level DSLRs. The
DMC-G3 now offers Light Speed Auto Focus (14-140mm ~0.1sec. 14-42mm
~0.18 sec., 45-200mm ~0.15 sec.). LUMIX Light Speed AF locks onto a
subject quickly so you won't suffer from "shutter lag"
frustration. Contrast Auto Focusing also offers greater shot accuracy
due to fewer hardware components needed vs traditional DSLR phase
difference systems, thus fewer pictures will suffer from system focusing
errors. (e.g. the accuracy of Contrast AF is approx. 90% while Phase
Difference AF is approx. 60% at F1.4).
