Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2: Create 3D Images And See It With 3D Ready HDTV
Lumix is Panasonic’s brand of digital cameras, ranging from pocket point-and-shoot models to digital SLRs. Many models are equipped Lumix Leica lenses that were designed by German engineers and Leica lenses are assembled in Japan, some are rebadged as Leica cameras with a different style cosmetics. Leica had a similar relationship with Minolta in the past, where late model Leica SLRs (and some 35mm point and shoot models) were strongly based on Minolta bodies.
Panasonic has announced the Lumix DMC-GF2 Micro Four Thirds camera. A simplified version of the company’s GF1, it inherits the same flat-body design but with revised control layout and touch-screen control. It is built around a 12MP CMOS sensor but with a more powerful processor than its predecessor, allowing AVCHD video recording of 1080i60 movies from 1080p30 capture. It is also compatible with the company’s recently released 3D lens.
The firm is the LUMIX GF2 DSL Panasonics Micro Compact camera system in their line-up without a mirror, as is the smallest and lightest model offered by Panasonic, while still offering excellent image quality expected of LUMIX.
Panasonic GF2 Colorfull and Complete Features
The Micro Four Thirds system (MFT) is a standard created by Olympus and Panasonic for mirrorless interchangeable lens digital cameras and camcorders design and development.
The Lumix Panasonic GF2 is artistic not only in form, but also in function, as it provides an array of features that lets users capture true-to-life images while also creating their own expressive, beautiful images. The Lumix GF2 features My Color mode which is integrated with the conventional Film mode. My Color mode offers a total of eight preset effects–Expressive, Retro, Pure, Elegant, Cinema, Monochrome, Dynamic Art, Silhouette, plus Custom mode, which lets users manually set the color, brightness, saturation and contrast levels. Moreover, with the full-time Live View function, users can see how these adjustments affect the images before you shoot, making it easier to capture the exact effect desired. The Panasonic Lumix GF2 has 17 scene modes, most of which can be used during video recording also. The exposure meter can be displayed in the P/A/S/M shooting modes for entry-level users to visually learn the correlation between shutter speed and aperture to enhance their photography skills.
The touch operation also dramatically shortens the time spent navigating the menus. With the Lumix GF2′s newly-designed Touch Q-menu, the user can customize the camera’s shortcuts with the most commonly used settings. Along with simple components button dedicated buttons for recording video and iA (Intelligent Auto) which illuminates in use, users can use the camera intuitively easy.
While achieving breakthroughs in compactness of design and outstanding photo and video quality, the Panasonic Lumix GF2 can contribute its professional-level imaging performance to well-balanced engine and sensor technologies. For the image processor, the Venus Engine FHD is incorporated, featuring exceptionally high performance signal processing capabilities in both photo and movie recording. With the noise reduction system using advanced 3D NR and NRC (Noise Reduction chromatic), users can capture clear images and naturally balanced, even when shooting at high ISO sensitivity to help prevent color bleeding.
With the Intelligent Scene Selector in the iA mode, the camera automatically switches to the appropriate mode according to the subject touched. For example, a touch on a human face switches to the portrait mode and a touch on the background or scenery switches to the scenery mode, while a touch on the subject close to the camera switches to the close-up mode. With the MF assist mode for manual focusing, users can enlarge the subject by just a touch to select 1x, 5x or 10x and smoothly move the subject by dragging it on the screen. In iA mode, and how peripheral blur, blur the line can be adjusted by simply moving the cursor with your finger, it is not possible with larger more complicated digital SLRs that do not have touch control.
The Panasonic Lumix GF2 is extremely easy to use for photographers at any level thanks to a new user interface design, which allows the focus to be determined, or shutter release, simply by touching the large 3-inch touch screen LCD. The touch screen LCD with 460,000-dot resolution makes taking great pictures intuitive. Once a user locks on a subject by touch, the Lumix GF2 tracks the subject with the AF tracking function, even if the subject moves–making it easy to take photos of moving subjects, like children playing. Contrast AF system approved by the Lumix DMC-GF2 is not only accurate and easy to use, but also very fast. Users can choose from a wide range of AF (Auto Focus) modes, including multiple-area AF with up to 23 focus areas, 1-area AF with a selectable focus area, Face Detection, and AF Tracking.
The basic specs of the Panasonic GF2 are as follows…
» 12.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor
