Introducing the Panasonic Lumix GX1 and 14-42mm Power Zoom Lens Kit
VIDEO
Your ultimate style companion
Now there is a camera for the sophisticated photographer - one of classic design, engineered for quality in both form and function, with high-performance features and a high-grade chassis: the Panasonic LUMIX GX1. Its iconic design perfectly complements your timeless fashion taste: you do not simply carry the DMC-GX1, you wear it as an expression of your personal style and luxury. Packed inside its Gunmetal Grey or Raven Black chassis is a large sensor for capturing D-SLR-like image quality as well as an accurate, super-fast autofocus and many state-of-the-art features. The result is nothing less than an elegant, easy-to-use interchangeable lens camera delivering high-class images.
Brilliant picture quality Capture outstanding D-SLR picture quality without the burden of a big, heavy camera. The Panasonic LUMIX GX1's 16.0-megapixel Four Thirds sensor is much larger than those found in simple point-and-shoot cameras - without compromising on the overall size of the GX1. The large sensor delivers super-high-resolution photos that you can enlarge and crop as suited. So you have more creative photography options and brilliant quality with every motif.
Sensational autofocus The new and enhanced Autofocus function built in the GX1 is not only extremely accurate and precise, it also focuses in ultra-fast 0.09 seconds*. This ensures that you get the sharp shot you want, when it happens - never missing a moment. It is the ultimate pocket-sized companion for your busy lifestyle on the go. Even the Burst Shooting speed is an amazing 20 frames per seconds (fps), enabling you to catch the exact moment of action.
*With the 14-42mm PZ Lens
Clear low-light shooting Let your photography skills shine - even under low-light conditions. The LUMIX GX1's highly sensitive sensor goes beyond that of conventional cameras to offer impressive details even at up to ISO 12,800. This means that you can capture dimly lit scenes in a natural light without the need for the flash - and they appear clear and sharp, ready for sharing.
Optional Viewfinder Add yet another professional, classic touch to your shooting style by selecting the optional Panasonic Viewfinder for your LUMIX DMC-GX1. Depending on the shooting conditions and situation, you can then choose to use the large 3-inch touch-screen LCD or the optional high-resolution tilting electronic Viewfinder - featuring an outstanding 1.44 megapixels - to compose your scene to perfection.
LUMIX G Micro System - Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera High Image Quality with 16.0 - megapixel Live MOS Sensor and Venus Engine Advanced AF System with High Speed, High Accuracy and Touch Operation Easy Manual Control with a Variety of Shooting Assist Functions Finest Tuning in Every Part of the Camera 1920 x 1080 Full-HD High Quality Video Recording Outstanding Performance in Power, Speed and Image ProcessingLUMIX G Micro System Camera GX1 - Superb Image Quality and Performance Combined with a Premium Design
The 16.0-megapixel Live MOS sensor plays a big role in high quality image rendering. With the dedicated circuit which reads out signals with minimum noise, the level of noise is significantly suppressed by more than 66%. Notably max ISO 12800 is available with DMC-GX1. In shooting at high ISO setting, S/N value is improved by approx. 200% compared with the conventional 12.1-megapixel sensor. The sensor performance improves by 6db at ISO 3200 and max. 9db at ISO 6400, resulting in the dramatically flawless picture without noise.
Compared with the Phase difference system AF, the Contrast AF boasts higher accuracy especially in shooting with bright lens with small F value. The approx.0.09 second of ultra high-speed Light Speed AF* is achieved by reducing the detection time for focusing by the synchronization of the lens and the sensor at 120 fps. Combined with the Touch AF control, setting and focusing at the subject is incredibly easy and quick. Taking further advantage of Contrast AF, the DMC-GX1 incorporates Full-area focusing.
The operation on DMC-GX1 is smooth and easy with optimum layout of control buttons and the mode dial. The function the user changes its setting can be assigned to the 2 external buttons and 2 menus in the software. In addition, a total of 4 custom setting patterns can be memorized. Now the DMC-GX1 comes with Level Gauge which lets the camera detect the horizontal/vertical angle of view with its internal level working with the acceleration sensor.
As a camera from the new premium GX line of LUMIX G Micro System, the external design of the camera has been developed with no compromising. The ergonomically designed grip fits the DMC-GX1's flat profile yet easy to hold. Its tactile feeling offers more comfort thanks to the casting material resin and elastomer. The mode dial is machined with finest tuning on its pitch of spin, form of plate and shininess. The DMC-GX1 comes with a hot shoe for the external flash or for the new Live View Finder DMW-LVF2, which are the optional accessory.
* The time for focusing on the subject is measured with LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S (H-PS14042) to move the lens position to "2m" from "infinity" position. The zoom position is in wide end. Panasonic measurement method.
