Creating a Camera with an Ultra Compact Body A Whole New Camera Style for More and More Shooting Fun

The DMC-G1 is a digital interchangeable lens camera with an incredibly small body. This compact size was achieved by using a mount system that complies with the new Micro Four Thirds System standard, which has been applied for the first time in the world in the DMC-G1*, together with an innovative mirror-less structure in a digital interchangeable lens camera. By combining the remarkably compact body with the compact, lightweight LUMIX G lens and its advanced functions, which are as easy to use as those on a digital compact camera, the super-mobile DMC-G1 shatters the old notion that all digital SLRs are bulky, heavy and hard to use. This, plus the superior image quality made possible by a 4/3-type 12.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor, draws a clear line between the DMC-G1 and all conventional digital SLR cameras.

Despite the DMC-G1's ultracompact design, it comes fully equipped with leading-edge features for outstanding ease of use, such as a LVF(Live View Finder) and free-angle LCD, both with Full-time Live View. The DMC-G1 also boasts iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode, a feature that took the world by storm in LUMIX digital compact cameras. iA Mode brings together a full range of functions — led by MEGA O.I.S., AF Tracking, Intelligent ISO Control, Face Detection AF/AE, Intelligent Scene Selector, and Intelligent Exposure — that together let users take strikingly beautiful photos with maximum ease every time they shoot.

The DMC-G1 breaks new ground in styling too, overturning interchangeable lens camera conventions by giving users a variety of body colors to choose from. While traditionalists can choose authentic black, others will enjoy the appealing blue and red colors available. The bodies also feature specially textured coatings and designs that rest snugly in the hand. For people who have been hesitant about moving up to an interchangeable lens camera, the DMC-G1 is a perfect fit. With its exceptional mobility and features, it offers a new style of photography, and with its design and color selection, it offers a new sense of camera style.
