Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 12.1 Megapixel Mirrorless Camera with Lens, 14 mm, 42 mm, Black

Panasonics LUMIX DMC-GF3X realizes all the features you want from a bulky DSLR interchangeable lens camera, only it accomplishes this in an ultra compact point-and-shoot camera body about as wide and tall as a typical smart phone yet is lightweight and simple to master. This remarkable reduction in size and weight is thanks to advancements in new mirror-free camera technology, and large DSLR format sensors that are more compatible with a new class of compact Micro Four Thirds (MFT) System lenses. This new class of Compact System Cameras (CSC) offers a weight and compactness not seen in traditional DSLRs, yielding greater portability and creative control. The DMC-GF3Xs image quality comes from a large DSLR-sized 12.1-megapixel sensor and newly advanced image processing technologies.

Key Features and Benefits: Mode access via touch-enabled LCD or mode thumb wheel The DMC-GF3 provides a traditional DSLR-like experience without the need for complicated external mode dials, yet provides intuitive and quick access to common modes like program, shutter and aperture priority, manual via a touch-enabled LCD that operates much like a smart phone. Built-in flash The DMC-GF3 shoots well under low light even without a flash. But there are times when a flash provides desired enhancements. So the DMC-GF3 provides a built-in pop-up flash for added light during low-light shooting. Dust reduction system As with many interchangeable lens cameras, dust on the sensor reduces image clarity. To eliminate this potential, the DMC-GF3 has a dust reduction system that uses a supersonic wave filter in front of the live MOS sensor. Vibrating vertically around 50,000 times per second, the filter repels dust and other particles effectively. HD video capture The Lumix DMC-GF3 also shoots 1080/60i high definition video using the AVCHD format. It offers a built-in mono microphone and includes a wind-cut function that further enhances the sound as it helps reduce noise caused by background wind. An audio meter can be displayed on the LCD for monitoring audio levels. Captured video can be played back in high definition. Faster, accurate pinpoint focusing Contrast Detection Auto Focus technology used in point-and-shoot and mirrorless compact system camera approaches the speeds that were once only available from traditional professional-level DSLRs. The DMC-GF3 offers the Lumix Light Speed Auto Focus technology developed for the highly regarded GH2. Lumix light speed AF locks onto a subject quickly so you won't suffer from shutter lag frustration. Intelligent auto and intelligent auto plus The DMC-GF3 has advanced functions that will satisfy experienced photographers, yet is easy enough for beginners to use comfortably in both photo and video recording modes with iA (Intelligent Auto) plus. In the iA plus mode, the defocusing area, exposure control and white balance can be adjusted visually for scenes where a slight manual adjustment may produce a more desired result.

These settings can be further enhanced with fine-tuning of contrast, sharpness, saturation and noise reduction. color effects include: standard, vivid, natural, monochrome, scenery, portrait and custom.
