Technology
Lens Options:The LUMIX G Series cameras use the increasingly popular Micro Four Thirds (MFT) system mount. The size and weight of the lens is significantly reduced without sacrificing lens clarity or performance. The MFT system offers 11 high performance zoom options in both fixed focal length and variable aperture G Vario; there is also a versatile 3D lens capable of capturing 2D and 3D images simultaneously. Lens adapters allow even greater flexibility, providing mounting for older model Leica M, Leica R and LUMIX full Four Thirds lenses. The ground-breaking 14-140mm HD G Vario lens has a long 10x range and virtually silent high-speed focusing capabilities, offering the best of live action and still-image shooting with ultra fast focusing and auto subject tracking when connected to the DMC-G3. Many LUMIX MFT lenses also include integrated MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization). This helps prevent blurring that is often caused by hand-shake. O.I.S works with the camera's intuitive ISO control to reduce motion blur by automatically adjusting ISO sensitivity when a subject moves, allowing for the capture of sharp, crisp images every time.

Dust Reduction:

When dust settles on the sensor of an interchangeable lens camera, image clarity is often compromised. The Dust Reduction System incorporated into the DMC-G3 eliminates dust and debris by using a supersonic wave filter on the Live MOS sensor. The filter vibrates more than 50,000 times per second, repelling dust and other airborne particles effortlessly.

Intelligent Auto and Intelligent Auto Plus:

The DMC-G3 has a number of advanced functions that are sure to thrill experienced photographers, yet are simple enough for novices to use easily. Both still and video modes benefit from the camera's Intelligent Auto (iA) and Intelligent Auto Plus (iA+) modes. The new iA+ mode allows manual adjustments to the defocusing area, exposure control and white balance, for exerting greater control over the final image result.
