Panasonic's Lumix DMC-3D1 compact digital camera is capable of shooting 3D photos and videos. This camera is equipped with a twin-lens design with folded optics design in a stunningly compact body


The Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 offers two 25mm ultra-wide angle lenses with 4x optical zoom offering impressive 8 megapixel 3D photos. HD video can be recorded in a resolution of maximum 1920x1080 60i. Also, the Lumix DMC-3D1 lens optics give photographers approximately 169% larger viewing space compared to that of 35mm cameras making it possible to photograph a wider range of composition.

High Quality Picture & Video
Beside taking 8 megapixel 3D photos, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 can also shoot 2D pictures in 12 megapixel resolution. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 digital compact camera is capable of capturing 2D pictures and video simultaneously. In conventional digital compact cameras, photographers had to choose between taking a picture of recording a video, the twin-lens design of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 breaks through these conventional barriers with two separate mechanisms for photo capturing, allowing for dual shooting capabilities.

2D, 3D and 1920x1080 Full HD convenience
Additionally, the two-lens design of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 allows users to record pictures or video in different angles of view simultaneously. For example, photographers can record an entire party scene with one lens while zooming in on and capturing the picture of a specific person with another lens. Users can easily switch between 2D and 3D mode with a separated switch, located on the back of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 camera.  As well as shooting rich, expressive 3D content, the camera also offers 1920 x 1080 Full HD movies. Operation is easily controlled with the dedicated 3D/2D switch and the 3.5-inch large Smart Touch screen. Macro shooting is also available. The High Sensitivity MOS sensor and the Venus Engine ensure high quality image recording even at high ISO settings, and achieve high speed consecutive shooting at 8 fps in full resolution.

Innovative, compact design
The DMC-3D1 owes its slim, compact size to an innovative internal design. It incorporates two newly developed 25mm ultra wide angle lens units with 4x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 25-100mm) using folded optics. The 25mm ultra-wide-angle lens gives photographers a wider range of composition possibilities with approximately 169 percent larger viewing scope compared to a 35mm camera. Contributing to the compact form factor, the lens units – comprised of 11 elements in 10 groups with 5 aspherical lenses - are downsized in both length and diameter; and Panasonic has also introduced a new slim actuator for shutter and iris control and redesigned the O.I.S. lens. 

2D Dual Shooting with 2-Lens system and intuitive touch operation
Most conventional cameras have limitations when it comes to capturing both still images and video simultaneously. The DMC-3D1’s 2-lens shooting gives photographers new freedom when shooting in 2D. Not only do the twin lenses mean you can capture photo and video at the same time without compromising on either, the user can also record different viewing angles. For example, you could make a movie recording of a party scene with one lens, and shoot a still close-up with the other lens; or alternatively, take two still images simultaneously.

High Sensitivity MOS Sensor and Venus Engine for high image quality
The 12-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor and the Venus Engine excel in image processing in both sensitivity and speed. Multi-process Noise Reduction effectively reduces noise for the best possible picture, even in low-lit conditions. The clever technology works to suppress both high frequency noise in the darker areas of an image and low frequency noise in the lighter areas, resulting in dramatically clear images. ‘Intelligent Handheld Nightshot’ combines a series of consecutive shots so that stunning atmospheric night shots can be created without the use of a tripod.

The Venus Engine has quad-CPUs for processing large amounts of 1920 x 1080 full HD data at high speed in AVCHD and MP4. In addition, the DMC-3D1 boasts fast consecutive shooting at 8 fps (without auto focusing) and 4 fps (with auto focusing) in full resolution. Although the DMC-3D1 has 2 sets of lens units and sensors, the Venus Engine minimises energy consumption so that battery life is as long as that of single lens compact digital cameras.
