NEW WAY

Full-Time Live View Lets You Take It Easy

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 viewﬁ nder complete with Full-time Live View

You've never looked into a viewfinder like this one. 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 viewﬁ nder that is simply not possible with optical viewﬁ nders 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.

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.

3.0-inch free-angle LCD with high 460,000-dot resolution

The large 3.0-inch LCD rotates 180º horizontally and 270º vertically, making it easy for you to capture dynamic shots from extreme angles without getting into an awkward position. And when the lighting around you changes, the LCD backlighting level automatically changes too, so you get comfortable, easy-on-the-eyes viewing at all times.

Shoot any way you want to shoot. High angle, low angle, side angle – it's easy with the G1.
