The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 has kicked the doors down at the PMA camera show in Vegas today. The GH1 doesn’t look too different from the G1, which has us excited from the get-go, as we always felt the G1 had unfulfilled potential. The GH1 takes a giant step forward with the addition of video, and glorious full high-definition video at that.
Five months after the launch of its Lumix DMC-G1 Micro Four Thirds camera Panasonic announced another version of this device which is capable of recording HD video. This new model, called the Lumix DMC-G1, has a 12.1-megapixel sensor Live MOS that can record high definition video with auto focus and continuous built-in Dolby Digital Stereo Creator for quality sound.
advanced device features video recording include the ability to record full HD resolution (1920 x 1080) video at 24 frames per second or HD video (1280 x 720) movies at 60 frames per second using an AVCHD (MPEG-4/H.264). The LUMIX GH1 has a dedicated video record button that lets you start recording video instantly, even when you’re photographing. For enhanced sound quality, Wind Cut function allows you to block unwanted background noise. A stereo microphone is also available.
As you’ll recall, the Micro Four Thirds Standard system eliminates the large, internal mirror structure that is often found in traditional DSLRs. By eliminating this mirror structure, manufacturers are able to create dramatically smaller camera bodies and lenses. The Micro Four Thirds Standard system also enables a Live View Finder. This Live View Finder lets you preview the effects of different camera settings, such as exposure, aperture, and shutter speed before taking a photo. The LUMIX GH1’s 1,440,000-dot equivalent Live View Finder system will automatically turn on the viewfinder when the user looks into it. When a user looks away from the viewfinder, the camera will turn off the Live View Finder and turn on the 3.0-inch swiveling 460,000-dot high-resolution LCD.
To accompany the Lumix DMC-GH1, Panasonic introduced a newly developed long-zoom interchangeable lens, the LUMIX G VARIO HD 14-140mm/F4.0-5.8 ASPH./MEGA O.I.S. This lens was designed for HD movie recording and has a silent motor and continuous auto focusing capability. In 35mm terms, the lens is equivalent to 28-280mm. The camera is also compatible with other Four Thirds standard lenses.
In addition to advanced still image and video capture features, the LUMIX DMC-GH1 also offers Panasonic’s user-friendly iA (Intelligent Auto) mode. The Lumix GH1’s iA suite has a new Face Recognition feature that can remember individual faces. source: photographyabdu.com
