Panasonic G1 manual AF Tracking can keep the subject in focus even if it moves

Advanced AF helps make focusing quick,

easy and precise.

Advanced contrast AF helps make Full-time Live View even more effective

To optimize the use of Full-time Live View, the LUMIX G Micro System uses contrast AF rather than the conventional phase difference AF. This makes it possible to offer functions like Face Detection AF and AF Tracking that digital SLR cameras with phase difference AF can't match.

AF Tracking can keep the subject in focus – even if it moves

Once you've focused on a subject, the AF Tracking function keeps the focus locked on that subject – even if the subject moves – until you press the shutter button. This helps you get clear, sharp, focused photos even when shooting kids or pets that won't hold still.

Versatile 1-area auto focus for finer focusing precision

When using 1-area AF mode, you can move the auto- focusing area in the frame. You can also change the size of focus area to Spot, Normal, L, or XL to fine-tune the focusing in complicated shooting compositions.

Quick AF: Focusing starts as soon as you aim the camera

The camera begins focusing the instant it determines you're in a shooting stance. This system focuses quicker than the usual method of pressing the shutter button halfway, so you're ready sooner to capture the moment.

*The focus speed may be slower in dark surroundings.

23 AF areas cover more of the frame

The auto focus system uses 23 areas all around the frame to optimize the focusing for the scene you're shooting. This makes it easier to frame a shot when you don't know exactly where the subject will appear, because you can simply leave the focusing to the camera.

*This is a simulated image. All 23 AF areas are not simultaneously displayed in fact.
