LUMIX FUNCTIONS 2

LCD Functions

Intelligent LCD

In a brightly lit place, such as outdoors under the sun, the Auto Power LCD function increases the brightness level of the backlight by about 40% maximum in several steps. When shooting in a dark place, such as at night, the frame rate is adjusted based on the pixel mixed readout method to brighten the screen in two to three steps.

Wide-Viewing-Angle LCD

The LCD offers a wide viewing angle from any direction, making it easy to confirm images, even when looking at the screen diagonally.

High Angle Mode

Makes it easier to see the monitor while holding the camera high to shoot over a crowd.

Real-Time Histogram

This graph, which can be displayed in the LCD as you compose the shot, shows the status of the exposure and contrast in real-time.

Highlight Display

A flashing indicator on the LCD shows any parts of the image that have been overexposed.

Composition Guidelines

You can use composition guidelines from two patterns* according to the shooting subject. And guidelines can be shown at the same time as other information and icons.

*Not offered on all models.

Easy-to-See Menu Display

The layout of the settings in the menu display is extremely simple, making it easy to see and switch the settings.

Playback Functions

Multi Display

After shooting, enjoy viewing your photos on your LUMIX camera's LCD. View them as a slide show; display 1, 12 or 30 images at a time; or use Calendar View to see thumbnails of all the shots taken on a particular date.

Slideshow

You can watch an ordinary slide show that displays every image, or you can use Favorite Image Slideshow and specify which images to play. You can also select background music to make your slideshow even more entertaining.

Category Playback

This function sorts photos into several categories - Portrait, Scenery, Event, and others – and lets you play back the images or view slideshows of the shots in a particular category.

Personal Category Playback

Using Face Recognition technology, the camera can find photos of people you specify, and arrange a slideshow of just those photos. This is a big help, for example, when you've taken a number of photos of someone and you want to choose the best one.

Mode Playback

With this function, the camera will automatically organize all of the still and motion images that are mixed together in memory. This makes it possible to view still images, AVCHD Lite motion images and Motion JPEG images separately.

Dual-Image Playback

The dual-image playback display feature makes it easier to compare two images in detail to see the differences in focus accuracy and contrast.

9 Still Images Cut Out from a Motion Image

Motion images can be converted into a series of nine or just one snapshot. This is effective in moving scenes when you want to look carefully at the movement of a sportsperson, etc.

Image Leveling

Pictures that lean to the right or left can be corrected horizontally or vertically.

Convenient Functions

Quick Menu

You can instantly access a variety of the settings needed most often. These include white balance, ISO sensitivity, image size, compression format, auto focus mode, light metering and so on.

World Time Setting

After you select one of 74 locations on the map, the camera automatically calculates and displays the local time.

Travel Date Setting

Input the time and date of your departure before you leave home, then use the camera to capture all the best moments of your trip. When you view the photos later, the camera will display them according to the day of the trip each photo was taken.

Title Edit

Using the cursor button on the camera, you can edit titles onto your images – people's names, places, events or other information.

Text Stamp

When traveling, you can stamp the day of the trip on the photos you take. Or, if you have a baby, you can stamp his or her age in months and name on your photos. The stamped information appears on photos.

*When the date is stamped on a photo, the photo is automatically resized to 3M (4:3)/2.5M (3:2)/2M (16:9), or the original size is maintained for photos smaller than 3M. However, you can choose either to save or overwrite the original picture.

Flip Animation

Using up to 100 of your photos, you can create a "flip animation" clip up to 20 seconds long.

Audio Recording

Add 5 seconds of sound to pictures as you shoot. Or, if you prefer, add up to 10 seconds of sound after shooting.

HD Output

Using an optional HDMI mini cable or component cable you can connect your LUMIX camera to an HDTV, and view your HD photos and HD movies (1080i) in stunning high-definition quality.

VIERA Link

Connect your LUMIX camera to a Panasonic VIERA TV with an HDMI mini cable (purchased separately), and it's easy to view your photos

and motion images on the big screen. Just use the TV remote to select or play the images. You enjoy stunning HD images and sounds, with quick, easy connection and effortless operation.

Focus Icon

Instead of the ordinary “ ” mark on the LCD that indicates when your subject is in focus, you can choose a heart, flower or three other symbols.

With the incorporation of Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.), users can capture sharp images even in low-light conditions or while on the move. The camera's Venus Engine allows for quick processing speeds, ensuring that users can capture images with reduced noise levels and vibrant colors.
