About Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2 Digital Camera w/14-42, Silver

The Lumix GF2 is Panasonics signature DSL Micro Compact system camera in its mirrorless line-up, as it it's the smallest and lightest model offered by Panasonic, while still offering the superb image quality expected from Lumix. The GF2 has been "future-proofed" with its support for 3D shooting while not compromising ease of operation or image quality. 3D shooting can now be easily accomplished with the addition of Panasonic's new 3D interchangeable lens (Lumix G 12.5mm / F12). Images can be printed in 2D or 3D and can be easily displayed on Viera 3D TVs for in home enjoyment. (MPO 3D file format can be displayed on most 3D compatible TV brands)

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2 Digital Camera w/14-42, Silver Features

  • The large 3in touch-screen LCD with a 460,000-dot-resolution makes taking great photos intuitive. Once a user locks on a subject by touch, the LUMIX GF2 tracks the subject with the AF tracking function, even if the subject moves making it easy to take photos of moving subjects, like children playing
  • The contrast AF system adopted by the Lumix DMC-GF2 is not only accurate and easy to use, but also very fast. Users can choose from a wide range of AF (Auto Focus) modes, including multiple-area AF with up to 23 focus areas, 1-area AF with a selectable focus area, Face Detection, and AF Tracking
  • Q-Menu for Quick Menu Navigation: The touch operation also dramatically shortens the time spent navigating the menus. With the Lumix GF2's newly-designed Touch Q-menu, the user can customize the camera's shortcuts with the most commonly used settings
  • With the Intelligent Scene Selector in the iA mode, the camera automatically switches to the appropriate mode according to the subject touched
  • With the MF assist mode for manual focusing, users can enlarge the subject by just a touch to select 1x, 5x or 10x and smoothly move the subject by dragging it on the screen
  • In iA mode and the Peripheral Defocus mode, the range of defocus can be adjusted by just moving the slider by a finger, something not possible with larger more complicated DSLR cameras that don't feature touch control
  • While achieving breakthroughs in compactness of design and outstanding photo and video quality, the Panasonic Lumix GF2 can contribute its professional-level imaging performance to well-balanced engine and sensor technologies
  • For the image processor, the Venus Engine FHD is incorporated, featuring exceptionally high performance signal processing capabilities in both photo and movie recording
  • Panasonic's Venus Engine FHD also allows for the Intelligent Resolution technology, which means that three areas - outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation - are automatically detected
  • The familiar red button next to the shutter button allows for quickly switching between still and video shooting. The Lumix GF2 shoots professional-quality full High Definition (HD) videos as well as handling still photography
  • The Lumix GF2 can record 1920 x 1080 videos at 60i or smooth HD 1280 x 720 movies at 60p in AVCHD. For those looking for better compatibility with computers, the Lumix GF2 can also record HD Motion JPEG in 1280 x 720 and QVGA, VGA and WVGA
  • No Dust No Worries: The Dust Reduction System helps to reduce this by placing 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
  • Creativity Controls bring out your Creative Side: The Panasonic Lumix GF2 is artistic not only in form, but also in function, as it provides an array of features that lets users capture true-to-life images while also creating their own expressive, beautiful images
