Incorporating a new 16-megapixel sensor, Panasonic's Lumix G3 offers outstanding image quality, rivaling larger SLRs with larger sensors!


The Panasonic DMC-G3 includes a faster Venus Engine FHD processor, faster autofocus, another impressive feature that makes using the G3 feel just like an SLR. In addition to 16.0-megapixel stills of impressive quality, the Panasonic G3 can capture 1,920 x 1080 Full HD video at 30fps in AVCHD mode, and can also record Motion JPEG movies at 720p.

New features include Pinpoint AF, a touchscreen-enabled focus mode that automatically zooms in on a point to make focus point selection and confirmation easier and more precise. Compatible with a growing selection of Micro Four Thirds lenses, the Panasonic G3 is just as adaptable to most shooting situations as an DSLR. The company's 11 lenses include macro, wide-angle, telephoto zooms, and even a 3D lens. Many other lenses are available from other manufacturers.

The Panasonic G3 includes dust reduction technology, Intelligent Automatic exposure, the full complement of automatic, semi-auto, and manual exposure modes, and its kit lens includes optical image stabilization.

Touchscreen Functionality
To enhance operability and ensure it's user-friendly, the Panasonic Lumix G3 features touch-control shooting, which lets photographers focus on the subject by simply touching it on the large, 3-inch high-resolution LCD touch screen. Once locked on the subject by a touch, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 tracks the subject, even if it moves, with Auto Focus (AF) tracking.

Superior and Reliable AF system
With a new Precision Contrast LightSpeed AF system, the Panasonic Lumix G3 is extremely fast, measuring approximately 0.1 second (14-140mm ~0.1 sec. 14-42mm ~0.18 sec., 45-200mm ~0.15 sec.). The LightSpeed AF feature is achieved by reducing the detection time for focusing by doubling the Live MOS Sensor drives speed from 60 fps to 120 fps.

iA mode on the Panasonic G3
For added ease of use, the Panasonic Lumix G3 features Panasonic's iA and new iA Plus modes, which are enabled automatically once the iA button is pressed. Panasonic's iA features, such as Intelligent Resolution, MEGA O.I.S. (included in several lenses), Intelligent ISO Control, and Intelligent Scene Selector are available when shooting still images.
