Full-time Live View lets you see exactly what the camera sees.
Full-time Live View shows you - before you shoot - how the settings change the photo.
Taking photos is a lot more fun when you don't have to struggle to get perfect images. With the LUMIX G Micro System – and its Full-time Live View – using a digital interchangeable lens camera is now as easy as using a digital compact camera. The LUMIX G Micro System can display guidelines and a histogram on the LCD and Live View Finder along with the image composition. But more than that, you can see through them – before
pressing the shutter button – how the exposure compensation and white balance adjustment will affect the photo. You can even see how adjusting the aperture and shutter speed settings will affect the photo. In other words, the LUMIX G Micro System gives you easy Live View shooting that simply isn't possible with conventional digital SLR cameras.

Free-angle LCD allows easy shooting at high angles or low angles.
Bright and easy-to-see free-angle LCD
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.

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.
Face Detection AF/AE
Scene detection – Intelligent Scene Selector
The camera automatically selects whichever of five Scene modes – Portrait, Night Portrait, Scenery, Night Scenery, and Close-up – best suits the situation.
Subject detection – AF Tracking
Once you've focused on a subject, AF Tracking keeps the subject in focus – even if it moves – until you press the shutter button.
Digital Red-Eye Correction for beautiful night portraits
The red-eye correction in the built-in flash and the camera's image processing circuit work together to reduce red-eye when you're using the flash to take shots of people.
