You can also use an optional HDMI mini cable to output images you took from the camera directly to the VIERA TV.

The 3D-capable interchangeable lens, LUMIX G 12.5mm / F12, allows easier handling and instant 3D shooting with cameras without a special structure for 3D shooting. The 3D images taken with this lens are easy on the eyes when viewed on VIERA 3D TVs.

• The HDMI output function requires the optional RP-CHEM15 HDMI mini cable. The output resolution of the DMC-GH3 can be selected as 1,080p, 1,080i or 480p. Please confirm that the TV you are connecting to has an HDMI input terminal compatible with the selected signal. Depending on the cable used, some functions may not be possible. Panasonic HDMI cables are highly recommended.

• Videos and images with audio taken with the DMC-GH3 may not always be able to be played back with cameras by other manufacturers. • AVCHD videos recorded with the image quality set to SH mode (1,280 × 720) cannot be played on AVCHD-compatible digital video cameras. • AVCHD videos recorded with AVCHD-compatible digital video cameras cannot be played on the DMC-GH3. • AVCHD videos recorded onto an SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card or a DVD disc cannot be played on a device that does not support the AVCHD standard. • SDHC Memory Cards and SDXC Memory Cards can be used only in equipment that is compatible with their respective formats. • If the computer being used does not support SDXC Memory Cards, a message prompting you to format may appear.

Movable Guide Lines / Movable Histogram

You can freely move the guide lines according to the subject's position. This is handy when you want to take extra care in framing, especially when using a tripod. You can also move the histogram to a position where it will not block the subject on the screen.

Select from 4 Aspect Ratios

The DMC-GH3 lets you shoot in aspect ratios of 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, and 1:1 mode. The 1:1 mode gives you unique, square-shaped photos. Being able to match the aspect ratio to your subject and shooting intent gives you even greater expression.

Shading Compensation

The shading function on the DMC-GH3 corrects vignetting to give you clear images with uniform brightness overall.
