Full-HD Movie Recording in AVCHD - With the GH1, shooting incredible photos is only part of the fun. You can also shoot beautiful, richly detailed movies in full HD (high-definition) (1920 1080) at 25 frames per second, or smooth HD (1280 720) movies at 50 frames per second in AVCHD (MPEG-4/H.264) with a continuous auto focus function.

Advanced Intelligent Auto (Movie & Photo) - Just set the GH1 to iA mode, aim and shoot. TheiA does all the rest.Itautomatically determines the most suitable Scene mode and helps correct blurring, focus, and brightness problems for bright, sharply focused HD movies. The GH1 features an enhanced version of LUMIX's clever iA mode that includes Face Recognition, a function that remembers' registered faces. When there's a familiar face in the frame, it optimises the focus and exposure so that the face is in sharp focus and bright. This newly evolved technology makes it easy to get beautiful photos of a loved one in a group of people.

 

Full-time Live View and Live View Finder - See How the Image Will Turn Out Before You Shoot. On the GH1, both the LCD and the Live View Finder boast true Full-time Live View capability. Live View lets you see, how changing the shutter speed or aperture will affect the shot before you shoot. This makes it easier to capture a special shot or particular kind of image without shooting and reshooting again and again.

 

Enjoy the Freedom of Manual Settings in Creative Movie Mode - The GH1 gives you more creative freedom. It lets you adjust the shutter speed and aperture any way you like when shooting movies. This gives you a wider range of expressive possibilities to explore in your movie making.

 

Newly Developed 12.1-Megapixel Live MOS Sensor - The GH1's 4/3-type Live MOS sensor with 12.1 megapixels gives you the best of both worlds -Superior image quality and lower power consumption. It also adds a high-speed readout for recording HD movies. You can record images with a 4:3, 3:2 or 16:9 aspect ratio. In each, you get the same angle of view and same outstanding image quality.

 

New High-Performance Kit Lens for Outstanding HD Movies - The GH1 kit isequipped with the LUMIX G VARIO HD 14-140mm / F4.0-5.8 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S. lens. This compact lens boasts a focal length of 28-280mm (35mm camera equivalent) and supports a continuous auto focus function that works for both photos and movies. The aperture adaptively adjusts to each scene, letting you capture focused movies that only a digital interchangeable lens camera can produce. Thanks to a silent design that helps suppress lens drive noise, the GH1 with its new kit lens records sounds with amazing clarity. The GH1's advanced kit lens also incorporates MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) that helps eliminate blurring from hand-shake.

 

The High-Speed, High-Performance Venus Engine HD - The Venus Engine HD incorporates two CPUs. This not only boosts image processing speed, it also helps achieve an exceptional noise-reduction performance.
