The G1 is a camera you'll love from day one. It's easy to take with you. It makes every day a new opportunity for discovery. It lets you capture the emotion behind the moment. It gives you the freedom to express yourself visually. And most of all, it makes photography more fun than you've ever imagined. The G1 will forever change the way you see the world around you, and the role that photography plays in your life.
Lumix DMC-G1 is awarded 2008 Photokina Star
LUMIX G VARIO 14-45mm/F3.5 - 5.6 ASPH./MEGA O.I.S. 1/250 sec, F5.4, ISO 100
Full-time Live View shows you - before you shoot - how the settings change the photo
The G1's Full-time Live View is revolutionary. It lets you see in the LCD how adjusting the exposure, white balance, aperture and even the shutter speed will affect the photo. This kind of super-easy live view shooting has never before been possible with a digital SLR camera.
Live View Finder an electronic viewnder complete with Full-time Live View
Yo u ' v e n e v e r l o o k e d i n t o a v i e w f i n d e r l i ke t h i s o n e. Developed by Panasonic for the G1, this high-performance electronic viewfinder boasts a Full-time Live View function that converts the optical viewfinder unit into a digital form. You experience a new level of shooting convenience through the high-performance viewnder that is simply not possible with optical viewnders of the past.
Eye Sensor: Live View Finder switches on when you look into it
When you look into viewfinder, a sensor automatically turns the Live View Finder on and the LCD off. You enjoy smoother, easier shooting without having to switch the setting of the display.
3.0-inch free-angle LCD with high 460,000-dot resolution
The large 3.0-inch LCD rotates 180 horizontally and 270 vertically, making it easy for you to capture dynamic shots from extreme angles 270 without getting into an awkward position. And when the lighting 180 around you changes, the LCD backlighting level automatically changes too, so you get comfortable, easy-on-the-eyes viewing at all times.
Freely customizable information display
Customize the camera to fit your preference by changing the display style or switching to a full-screen display. The G1 also features the Quick Menu that's popular on LUMIX compact digital cameras, so you can make a variety of settings without taking your eye from the Live View Finder.

Shoot any way you want to shoot. High angle, low angle, side angle it's easy with the G1.
100% eld of view with high resolution
Shutter speed effect In Preview mode, you can even see how adjusting the shutter speed settings will affect the photo. The G1's Live View Finder has the large 1.4x (0.7x*) magnication and 100% field of view of the optical viewfinders on high-end digital SLR cameras. This, plus the 1,440,000-dot equivalent resolution, makes it easy to shoot the exact image the camera sees. *35 mm equivalent.

NEW WAY

Full-Time Live View Lets You Take It Easy
iA mode can make all the right settings automatically
If you've resisted buying a digital SLR camera because you think they're hard to use, your wait is over. Meet the G1, with iA (Intelligent Auto) mode. This mode activates six detection and compensation functions that work automatically, leaving you free to just aim and shoot. It's easier to get a beautiful shot anytime, anyplace.
Face detection - Face Detection AF/AE
The camera detects when there are faces in the frame and adjusts the focus and exposure to capture them properly. This allows you to shoot beautiful portraits without any hassle.
Light detection - Intelligent Exposure
The camera can correct the brightness in parts of the image that are too dark due to insufcient lighting, backlighting or use of the ash.
Contrast AF helps make Full-time Live View even more effective
The G1 not only gives you the advantages of Full-time Live View, it also adds contrast AF for even easier, more accurate focusing. These technologies make possible a variety of convenient functions - such as Face Detection AF and AF Tracking - that digital SLR cameras with phase difference AF systems cannot offer.

iA Mode Helps You Get Beautiful Shots Anytime, Anyplace
The open standard that led to the mirror-less body
The G1 adopts the Micro Four Thirds System standard, developed as an extended version of the Four Thirds System standard for digital camera systems. By adopting this standard and developing a camera body that eliminates the mirror box and optical viewfinder unit, Panasonic was able to shorten the flange-back distance* by about half (compared with a conventional Four Thirds camera) and reduce the lens mount diameter by about 6 mm. The result is a digital interchangeable lens camera that is simply revolutionary in terms of usability and mobility. Small enough for you to take anywhere yet sophisticated enough to take you as far into photography as you want to go. Mirror Structure (DMC-L10)

LUMIX G lenses: Superior portability, superior rendering
The newly developed LUMIX G lenses comply with the Micro Four Thirds System standard for interchangeable lenses. Characterized by their compact size and lightweight, both lenses bring out the full capabilities of the 4/3-type image sensor, and support the contrast AF function of the G1 and its long list of convenient functions. Both lenses also feature Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S. (optical image stabilizer), which makes it easy to shoot super clear shots even in low-light situations by suppressing the blur caused by hand-shake.
LUMIX G VARIO 14-45mm/F3.5 - 5.6 ASPH./ MEGA O.I.S.
From casual snapshots to personal portraits to sweeping landscapes, this versatile zoom lens provides beautiful results in a wide range of shooting situations. It covers the standard focal range of 28 to 90 mm (35 mm equivalent). The aspheric lens element also improves optical performance by minimizing distortion, even at the 28 mm wide end.
LUMIX G VARIO 45-200mm/F4.0 - 5.6/ MEGA O.I.S.
Covering from 90 to 400 mm (35 mm equivalent), this telephoto zoom lens lets you capture crisp, blur-free shots when shooting sports events and other distant subjects while achieving minimum aberration at all focal length, high-contrast representation and high color reproduction by implementing 3 ED (extra-low-dispersion) lens elements.
Four Thirds adaptability Multiplying photographic possibilities
The G1 can be fit with a mount adapter DMW-MA1 (optional) that allows the use of a wide variety of high-performance Four Thirds lenses, including Leica D lenses. Naturally, the shooting functions of the G1 remain usable with the DMWMA1 mounted.* Unleash your creative possibilities, for example, by using a single focus lens to capture images with a beautiful, softly focused background, and an ultra-powerful zoom to pull distant wildlife right up close.
* Lenses other than LUMIX G lenses cannot use the AF Tracking, AFc (Auto Focus Continuous) or Continuous AF functions. Also, when a lens that does not support the Contrast AF function is mounted, operation will automatically switch to manual focus.

Venus Engine HD Next-generation digital signal processing
Two CPUs give the Venus Engine H D e x c e p t i o n a l ly a d v a n c e d processing capabilities. This s o p h i s t i c a t e d L S I f e a t u re s effective noise reduction even at high ISO sensitivity levels. The Venus Engine HD also reproduces delicate color nuances faithfully with independent gradation control for each of the R, G and B colors. Additionally, it supports the Live View function, resulting in the display of smooth images at 60 fps. HDMI output support is also a feature of the Venus Engine HD.
MEGA O.I.S. Panasonic's advanced hand-shake correction technology
The LUMIX G lenses incorporate Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S., the advanced optical image stabilization system that has highly proven in LUMIX digital cameras. In the LUMIX G lenses, efficient stabilization elaborated by a special integrated LSI that processes output from the gyrosensors, which operate 4,000 times per second.
Dust reduction system protects the image 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 photos. The G1 helps eliminate this possibility by placing a Supersonic Wave Filter in front of the Live MOS sensor. Vibrating around 50,000 times per second, the lter repels dust and other particles. This keeps the image sensor clean at all times and eliminates the need for cumbersome maintenance procedures.

Photography basics exposure, focus, and color
A little knowledge about exposure, focus and color will come in handy when you are having trouble with a shot. Are images dark?

Exposure problems

Refer to P44
In normal picture mode [ ], Auto Exposure (AE) normally sets the correct exposure for you, but images may be dark if there is backlight. Use exposure compensation in these situations for brighter images. In normal picture mode [ ], Auto Focus (AF) normally sets the correct focus for you, but images may be unfocused in the following situations. The camera can focus between 50 cm (1.64 feet) and Z. When shooting something that is far away and something that is close by at the same time. When shooting through a dirty window. When there are sparkling or shiny objects around the subject. When shooting in a dark place. When shooting a subject that is moving fast. When shooting a scene with minimal contrast. When shooting something very bright. When taking a close-up picture of the subject. When there is jitter. Use AF/AE lock or macro in these situations. How the subject appears depends on the kind of lighting, so colors in different lights will be different. This unit adjusts the color automatically to give a more natural result. (Auto white balance) You can also adjust the white balance to suit different situations to reproduce natural colors.

Focus problems

Refer to P30, 42

Color problems

Refer to P62
When you want to take a picture of a subject outside the AF area (AF/AE Lock) When recording a picture of people with a composition like the following picture, you will not be able to focus the camera on the subject because the people are outside the AF area.
Preventing jitter (camera shake) Be careful of jittering when pressing the shutter button. The jitter alert 1 appears when the shutter speed is slow and the chances of blurring are greater.
In this case, 1 Aim the AF area at the subject. 2 Press the shutter button halfway to x the focus and the exposure. The focus indication lights when the subject is focused. 3 Press and hold the shutter button halfway while moving the camera as you compose the picture. 4 Press the shutter button fully. You can repeatedly retry AF/AE lock before pressing the shutter button fully.
When the jitter alert appears, use a tripod for best results. By combining the use of a tripod with the self-timer (P43), you can avoid blurring caused when you press the shutter button. Shutter speed will be slower particularly in the following cases. Keep the camera still from the moment the shutter button is pressed until the picture appears on the screen. We recommend using a tripod. [NIGHT PORTRAIT], [NIGHT SCENERY], [PARTY], [CANDLE LIGHT], [STARRY SKY], [FIREWORKS] mode
Direction detection function If you take pictures by holding the camera vertically, the information of the rotation on the pictures is automatically added and recorded to the pictures. When [ROTATE DISP.] (P81) is set to [ON], you can rotate and display pictures on the screen or the TV according to the information of the rotation on the pictures. This function may not work properly on pictures recorded by aiming the camera up or down. Motion pictures taken with the camera held vertically are not displayed vertically.
Taking Pictures with the Zoom
Using the optical zoom / the extended optical zoom (EZ)
You can make people and subjects appear closer with the 3 times optical zoom, and landscapes can be recorded in wide angle. (35 mm lm camera equivalent: 33 mm to 100 mm) To record in wider angle without deteriorating (Extended optical zoom), do not set the picture size to the highest / setting for each aspect ratio (h/ j) To make subjects appear closer use (Tele) Rotate the zoom lever towards Tele. How the extended optical zoom works The extended optical zoom works by extracting the center of the picture and expanding it for a higher telephoto effect. ] (3M So, for example, if you choose [ EZ) (3 million pixels), the 8M (8.1 million) CCD area is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect. The optical zoom is set to Wide (1 ) when the camera is turned on. If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again. The lens barrel extends or retracts according to the zoom position. Take care not to interrupt the motion of the lens barrel while the zoom lever is rotated. In motion picture mode [i], the zoom magnication is xed to the value set at the start of recording. EZ is an abbreviation of Extended optical Zoom. If you set a picture size that activates the extended optical zoom, the extended optical zoom icon [ ] is displayed on the screen when you use the zoom function. The zoom will stop moving for an instant near [W] (1 ) when the extended optical zoom is used. This is not a malfunction. The indicated zoom magnication is an approximation. The extended optical zoom cannot be activated in the following modes. Motion picture mode [i] [HIGH SENS.] [HI-SPEED BURST]
