The
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF1 is the latest addition to the award-winning LUMIX G Series which debuts as the world's smallest and lightest system digital camera with a built-in flash. The LUMIX DMC-GF1 distinguishes itself from previous models with its elegant compact design reminiscent of classic film cameras yet builds on Panasonic's success with the revolutionary LUMIX G Series of digital interchangeable lens system cameras based on the Micro Four Thirds system standard. With its compact size user-friendly design and ability to record High Definition (HD) video and take professional-quality photos the LUMIX GF1 continues to redefine digital photography standards.
With its lightweight body the LUMIX GF1 provides experienced photographers with the ideal digital camera to carry with them at all times. Like its predecessors in the LUMIX G Series the LUMIX GF1 eliminates the pentaprism found in traditional interchangeable lens cameras. Thus this mirror-free structure allows Panasonic to dramatically reduce both size and weight.
Though small in size the LUMIX GF1 does not compromise in advanced features. The LUMIX GF1 thoroughly optimizes the advantages of a system camera to ensure high performance whether capturing photos or HD video. The LUMIX DMC-GF1 can record 1280 x 720 High Definition video in AVCHD Lite a format that enables longer recording times. With a dedicated video record button capturing video is convenient and easy. The LUMIX GF1 can also record HD Motion JPEG in 1280 x 720 and other video recording formats include: QVGA VGA and WVGA. The LUMIX GF1 has a unique Movie Program Mode that allows consumers to adjust the depth-of-field while shooting in HD video so background and foreground can be blurred to give creative effects--something typically only possible with expensive professional camcorders.
