Panasonic Lumix G DMC-GF2K - digital camera 14-42mm lens

Key Features and Benefits: Shoot high quality still and motion images with ease With a dramatic downsizing from the predecessor, the DMC-GF2 features an outstanding compactness and ease of operation while pursuing high image quality. The operation is extremely easy to understand for any level of users with the touch control and the GUI (Graphic User Interface) designed for the DMC-GF2. Together with the simple button components including the dedicated buttons for movie recording and iA (Intelligent Auto) mode which lights in use, you can operate the camera intuitively with ease. Enhanced your own shooting style The DMC-GF2 chassis is made of aluminum to realize rigid impression of quality. The grip is designed to assure good hold and even the camera is slim and compact. The tiny, pocket-sized DMC-GF2 brings you huge surprise of photographic enjoyment. Easy to see intelligent LCD with a wide-viewing angel The DMC-GF2 has a 3.0-inch 3:2 460,000-dot LCD with a 100% field of view. And a wide-viewing angle that lets you frame your shot in a variety of ways for both shooting and viewing. Lumix's acclaimed intelligent LCD function also automatically adjusts the brightness in 11 steps according to shooting conditions. This LCD provides sharp, clear images in virtually all shooting situations, ranging from nighttime to bright daylight scenes and from low-angle to high-angle shooting. And it lets you share the fun of viewing images with family and friends. High image quality in both still and motion images While achieving breakthroughs in advanced functions and compactness of design, the DMC-GF2 also refined its comprehensive digital imaging technologies to raise the level of image quality that rivals or even surpasses D-SLR cameras. The 4/3-type 12.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor featured in the DMC-GF2 offers the best of both worlds - the superior image quality of a CCD sensor, and the lower power consumption of a CMOS sensor. This sensor is advantageous for photo and movie recording with its high S/N, thanks to an advanced circuit structure that is unaffected by the noise generated in each of the circuits. It results in clear images even when taken at high ISO sensitivity. Great beauty, higher speed, and less power consumption While achieving breakthroughs in compactness of design and outstandingly high usability, the DMC-GF2 assures high image quality in both photo and movie thanks to the best-balanced performance of an imaging engine and a sensor. For the image processor, the Venus engine FHD is incorporated that features exceptionally high performance signal processing capabilities in both photo and movie recording. With the advanced noise reduction system employing the 3D NR and CNR (Chromatic Noise Reduction), you can capture clear, naturally-balanced images even when shooting at high ISO sensitivity levels preventing the color bleeding due to the chromatic aberration and deterioration of the resolution. Optimal setting automatically If you've resisted buying a digital SLR camera because you think they're hard to use, your wait is over. The DMC-GF2 features the same iA (Intelligent Auto) mode as the Lumix compact models. In the iA mode, the camera does all the work, leaving you free to compose your shot and capture the moment. You just press, aim and shoot. Once you've selected the iA mode, the detection and correction functions go to work to give you beautiful photos and movies with maximum ease. In addition, the Intelligent Resolution technology is always activated in the iA mode which results in the clearer and higher image quality in every photo and movie. Image quality is easily maintained by protecting the Live MOS sensor If dust or other foreign matter gets inside the camera when you're changing lenses, it could cling to the image sensor and show up as a spot in your images. Dust entering the camera while changing the lens is one of the biggest problems with interchangeable lens system cameras. The dust reduction system in the DMC-GF2 helps eliminate this possibility by placing the supersonic wave filter in front of the Live MOS sensor, between the low-pass filter and shutter. Extended, high-resolution moves in slim, stylish body The AVCHD format features almost twice the recording time in HD quality than the conventional Motion JPEG. A special, dedicated button on the top lets you instantly start recording movies while shooting photos without any having to make any extra settings. Now the DMC-GF2 can record high-resolution Full HD 1,920 x 1,080 movies despite its slim, stylish body. In addition, the DMC-GF2 features advanced Intelligent Resolution technology. Rather than uniformly enhanced sharpness, advanced Intelligent Resolution precisely optimizes signal processing to give the entire image outstandingly natural clarity and fine detail. As a result, images are naturally clear and crisp in movies as well as in photos.
