My Color Mode makes it easy to customize color effects to match your intent. Color, brightness and saturation can be adjusted on an easy-to-understand operation screen in ±5 steps. You can also check the actual effects in real time as you make the adjustments on the LVF(Live View finder) or the LCD. This function lets you enjoy creative photography the easy way.
In the same way as photographers select different films for their distinctive coloring and contrast, you can choose from 6 color types and 3 monochrome types even when shooting movies. When shooting in black and white, the contrast, sharpness, and noise reduction for each mode parameter can also be customized in 5 steps and stored in memory. The same is true when shooting in color, with the addition of saturation adjustment. This gives the DMC-GH1 the same kind of delicate selection capability as a film camera. You can also check the effects on the LVF or the LCD before you shoot. This gives you the exact photo expression you want.
The contrast, sharpness, saturation, and noise reduction for each mode parameter can also be customized in 5 steps and stored in memory. A total of 4,125 settings can be made.
Two finely customized settings can be stored as 2 MY FILM settings, for easy recall and use.

You can get original image data, recording the image directly from the Live MOS sensor without any image processing. The SILKYPIX® Developer Studio 3.0 SE software utility lets you develop RAW data files. For example, you can develop RAW data to create an image with the effect you were trying to capture when you took the shot. You get high-level basic image processing abilities that give you control over such things as unnatural edges from saturated color borders, false colors in structures with intricate detail, and chromatic noise in photos taken at high sensitivity settings. This utility provides a unique combination of high resolution and extraordinary color separation performance. In addition, the DMC-GH1 allows consecutive shots to be taken at up to 3 fps* in RAW format. Shooting continues even while the image data is being stored in memory.
* For a maximum of 7 images.
More information
Color space settings for shot images are possible so that the images will be reproduced on PC screens or printed sheets correctly.*
・sRGB
The sRGB color space is a standard color space used for a wide variety of applications centering on PCs.
・Adobe RGB*
The Adobe RGB color space, which encompasses a wider range of colors than the sRGB color space, is used for photo processing in photo retouch software and professional applications, such as commercial prints.*
* Make sRGB settings for usual use, because the Adobe RGB color space cannot be used unless an image processing environment suitable to color profile handling is available.
The DMC-GH1 lets you snap off unlimited consecutive shooting at approx. 3 frames per second with full resolution. In addition, the DMC-GH1 allows consecutive shots to be taken at up to 3 fps in RAW format. Shooting continues even while the image data is being stored in memory.*
* When there are no RAW files, it automatically switches to unlimited consecutive shooting. When there are RAW files, the maximum number of consecutive photos becomes 7.
With the DMC-GH1, a wide variety of bracket functions are available to match your shooting conditions and intent.
The Auto Bracket function records several images at varied exposure levels in a compensation range of ±EV 2 in 1/3 EV or 2/3 EV steps. The DMC-GH1 will record up to 7 images with a single press of the shutter button. Then you can select your favorite photo from the different exposure settings.
When using the 2-axis white balance adjustment setting, the white balance bracket function shoots 3 consecutive photos with slight changes to the white balance setting of each photo in both the horizontal (amber to blue) and vertical (green to magenta) axes, by simply pressing the shutter once. This is convenient when several light sources exist in the photo.

The Flash mode has 7 settings for various situations: Auto, Auto/Red-eye Reduction, Forced On, Forced On/Red-eye Reduction, Slow Sync., Slow Sync./Red-eye Reduction, and Forced Off. It also lets you use 1st curtain sync flash and 2nd curtain sync flash to capture nightscapes with a natural flow of light.
* When you use the LUMIX G VARIO HD 14-140mm / F4.0-5.8 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S., light from the built-in flash of the camera may be blocked and cause shading areas in the resulting picture depending on the shooting condition.
* Due to the ultra wide angle field of view (35mm film camera equivalent:14-28mm), peripheral vignetting may appear when you use the LUMIX G VARIO 7-14mm / F4.0 ASPH. and the built-in flash of the camera.
