LUMIX Global TOP > SYSTEM CAMERAS > GF1 > The World's Smallest and Lightest Body

LUMIX G Micro System has added a powerful new model DMC-GF1 to its line-up of new-generation digital interchangeable lens system cameras. Distinguished by an artistic flat body that is both elegant and compact, the DMC-GF1 debuts as the world's smallest and lightest system camera with a built-in flash*.
While it is small in size, the DMC-GF1 optimizes the advantages of a system camera to assure outstanding image quality. It can record both vivid still shots and smooth, beautiful motion images, featuring the AVCHD Lite movie. As the "artistic flat" body description suggests, the DMC-GF1 puts a palette of creative possibilities featuring My Color Mode and Film Mode, with the addition of LUMIX's popular iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode as well as aperture preview and shutter speed preview functions through the Full-time Live View.
Experienced photographers will find the DMC-GF1 an ideal everyday camera in the bag anytime, and those new to system cameras will find that it gives them the potential to explore realms of photography far beyond the limits of compact cameras.

By using the Micro Four Thirds System standard and developing a camera body that eliminates the mirror box and optical viewfinder unit, the DMC-GF1 was able to achieve a dramatic reduction in both size and weight, compared with conventional digital SLR cameras. In addition, compared with the DMC-G1, it reduced 35% in the volume and 26% in the weight.

The DMC-GF1 does not compromise on functions. It comes equipped with a built-in flash and boasts a large 3.0-inch Intelligent LCD with a wide viewing angle and full 460,000-dot resolution. You can enjoy vivid, exceptionally detailed images both when shooting and when viewing the results. The DMC-GF1 is compatible with an optional Live View Finder (DMW-LVF1), which provides the Full-time Live View function boasting 100% field of view regardless of the lens to attach.

The DMC-GF1 was paid meticulous attention to operating ease when designed. The drive mode lever and rotary / click rear dial are considerately placed for operation with minimal finger movement. The precise button placement and simple, logical menu interface work together to make operation easy and intuitive. The DMC-GF1 is sophisticated in form, offers an extensive function set, provides uncompromising performance, and delivers the ultimate in operating and shooting ease.

The DMC-GF1 comes in a choice of body colors: true black, active red, sleek silver, and clean white. "SAKURA” pink has been added, and makes even more fun to choose the one that fits your style. With other body parts crafted of finely textured aluminum, it has a high-quality appearance to be attractive while it is exceptionally practical design. The DMC-GF1 is absolutely the camera that gives every photographer a pleasure to own.
