The GF1 adopts the Micro Four Thirds System standard, which was developed as an
extended version of the Four Thirds System standard for digital camera systems. By
using this standard and developing a camera body that eliminates the mirror box and
optical viewfinder unit, we were able to achieve a dramatic reduction in both size and
weight compared with conventional digital SLR cameras, to create a new-generation
system camera that features Full-time Live View, high-speed, high-precision Contrast
AF, HD movie recording, and more. The GF1 is small enough to take anywhere yet
sophisticated enough to take you as far into photography and movies as you want to go.

The 4/3-type 12.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor featured
in the GF1 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 also
advantageous for photo and movie recording with its high
S/N, thanks to a new 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.
The GF1 is equipped with an HDMI output terminal for
direct transmission of digital image and sound signals.
Just connect the camera to an HDTV using a single HDMI
mini cable (optional). It's also easy to enjoy slideshows
in which both photos and movies are played according
to the recorded timeline. If you have a VIERA TV, you can
control the camera's playback functions with VIERA's
remote control unit.

Simply take the SDHC/SD
Memory Card from the GF1
and slip it into the card
slot of a Panasonic VIERA
or Blu-ray Disc™ player,
and you're ready to view HD
images. For even greater
impact and entertainment
fun, you can add background music and image effects
to your image slideshows.
*To play movies recorded in the
Motion JPEG format, you need the included AV cable.
AVCHD Lite movies
can be transferred to a
PC from an SDHC/SD
Memory Card or via
the USB cable to view
or edit them. You can also make a DVD disc
from AVCHD Lite files by converting them
to MPEG-2. The software makes it easy and
fun to edit or organize a collection of photos.
It features a Face Recognition function that
recognizes the faces in the photos stored
in your PC and lets you sort them by face.
Also, photos shot with My Color mode can
be categorized and viewed by style. The
sophisticated interface allows you to enjoy
emotion-packed slideshows with a variety of
effects and music. And motion images can
be directly uploaded to YouTube™.

The Venus Engine HD incorporates two CPUs. This not only boosts
image processing speed, it also helps achieve an exceptional
noise-reduction performance. Also, the two CPUs of the Venus
Engine HD allow long-time movie recording in AVCHD Lite format
while maintaining low power consumption. And the Venus Engine
HD features HDMI output too.
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 GF1 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 filter repels dust and other
particles. This keeps the image sensor clean at all times and
eliminates the need for cumbersome maintenance procedures.
The built-in flash is normally concealed inside the body and
out of sight. A single touch pops the flash up for easy shooting
anytime you want. You can also adjust the light intensity in the
range of ±2 EV at 1/3 EV steps to match your subject.
You can equip the GF1 with an optional
2 02,0 0 0-dot equiv alent Live V iew
Finder (LVF) featuring a magnification
of approximately 1.04x (0.52x*) and
100% field of view. Because it displays
the same information as the LCD, it is effectively used in situations where the LCD is
difficult to see, such as under bright sunlight. The LVF is also handy for low-angle shots
because it can be tilted vertically from 0 to 90 degrees.
