Professional Grade Sensor Technology

The 16.05-megapixel Live MOS sensor boasts wide dynamic range and
high sensitivity image

The DMC-GH3 features a 16.05-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor
with a level of sensitivity that produces flowing gradation from
shadows to highlights. Panasonic's original pixel-mix technology
is designed exclusively to minimize noise generation. The fine
wiring provides high resolution and a wide dynamic range creating
truly stunning images that look like you could reach out and
touch them. High-sensitivity ISO 12800 (extended: ISO 25600) and
extensive noise reduction give you remarkable images even in dim
lighting. In the DMC-GH3's Contrast AF system, the image sensor
doubles as the AF sensor to resist any mechanical margin of
error. Compared with Phase Difference AF, the focusing is precise
even at small F-numbers and achieves a higher focus detection
speed than most traditional DSLR models.
Double OLED ( Light-Emitting Diode) Display
--------------------------------------------------
High-quality, high-speed EL displays are used for both
the Live View Finder and the rear monitor.
( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/photo/panasonic/us_nov2012/dmc-gh3k_cf_2_lg.jpg )
Master your frames with super fast double OLED displays used for
both the Live View Finder and the rear monitor. These OLED
displays give you 100% vision field and withstand bright daylight
scenes to provide natural coloring with virtually imperceptible
time lag. The Eye Sensor automatically switches between Live View
Finder (LVF) and the rear monitor offering 614K dots with seven
brightness levels, seven color levels, 11 red-green color levels
and Blue-Yellow levels. The GH3K compact wireless digital
camera's Touch Pad offers Full-area focusing on any point you
touch so there's no need to have our subjects in the middle of
the and you can frame your s as you please. With Level
Gauge, the camera detects angle views so that photos in
portrait will appear vertically, regardless of the lens used. In
Free-angle Rear Monitor mode, your wide-viewing angle rotates
sideways 180° and tilts up-and-down 270° so you can get those
low-and-high angles. Assist manual focusing by enlarging the
image on the monitor by 4x, 5x or 10x with a simple touch of the
rear monitor.
Go Hollywood and Create Cinematic-quality Videos with Creative
Special Effects on the GH3K Compact Digital Camera
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Panasonic LUMIX GH3's heat-dispersing body is built to
support professional Full HD video technology
( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/photo/panasonic/us_nov2012/dmc-gh3k_cf_3_lg.jpg )
If you're eager to test your movie-making skills, then these
advanced technologies developed by Panasonic for its professional
broadcasting equipment, are just right for you. Not only does the
camera give you Full-HD but progressive scanning
records every frame, so twice the data is retained. Three types
of quick-motion, 80%, 48% and 40% slow-motion video let you apply
a variety of effects to the video timeline. An embedded Time Code
makes it easy to synchronize your video footage or sound source
in your post production workflow. The HDMI terminal easily
connects to a large screen monitor, the 3.5-mm-diameter, general
purpose mic jack allows for sound synched and the
3.5-mm-diameter headphone output terminal provides for real-time
sound monitoring while shooting.

used by broadcasting stations and production studios.
Field Tough For The Harshest Of Environments
--------------------------------------------
The lightweight, sealed magnesium alloy design protects the
camera and provides peace of mind in extreme field environments
( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/photo/panasonic/us_nov2012/dmc-gh3k_cf_4_lg.jpg )
The light weight LUMIX DMC-GH3 mirrorless camera is rugged
enough to withstand the rigors of professional use in virtually
an environment. With a completely re-engineered body from its
core, the magnesium alloy full die cast frame features tightly
sealed joints to form a splash and dustproof design and added
protection.
Professional Speed and Precision
--------------------------------
Contrast AF provides higher accuracy while Light Speed AF locks
on to fast moving objects. Offering the best of both worlds for
pro shooters, Light Speed AF is not only precise, its speed
excels that of other high-end DSLRs. With Contrast AF (Auto
Focus), the image sensor controls your focus giving you a greater
range to create crisp, clear images. Light Speed AF is great for
fast moving subjects like your little leaguer,
migrating birds, or your best friend bungee jumping. And since
you have a full-area AF touch, you select your desired field of
vision. Additionally, Light Speed AF quickly locks onto a
subject, making it possible to capture even fast moving subjects
like your son, the dirt bike rider.
Customizable Hand Control with Conveniently-placed Buttons for
Superior s
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Panasonic LUMIX GH3K camera's shutter speed, exposure
compensation, ISO and white balance settings can be quickly
adjusted with the front / rear dials and rear jog dial
( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/photo/panasonic/us_nov2012/dmc-gh3k_cf_6_lg.jpg )
Shooting with the viewfinder has been further enhanced in the
DMC-GH3K compact mirrorless digital camera. Exposure
compensation, ISO sensitivity, and white balance controls are
positioned around the shutter button to make operation fast and
easy while looking at the viewfinder.
The camera allows for you to customize a total of 7 function
buttons (5 in button and 2 in touch menu tab) by allotting a
function you use often. Custom Mode 1 and 2 let you register a
series of settings you use often so you can instantly recall a
pattern of the settings, Custom Mode 3 lets you register patterns
for up to 3 more settings.
Focus, Shoot and Monitor Using Your Smart Phone or
---------------------------------------------------------
A smart phone or a can be used as a remote controller and
a remote monitor.
( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/photo/panasonic/us_nov2012/dmc-gh3k_cf_7_lg.jpg )
Built-in Wi-Fi takes your LUMIX compact mirrorless digital
camera right into your social media circles. A or a
can be used as your remote control and monitor. Focus on a
sunrise with your GH3K and see it LIVE on your or
. Use your device to set your focus, exposure compensation,
ISO, WB and even Photo Style as well as your shutter release. You
can also record in the moment and even geo-tag your location by
using your device's GPS log. Playback your footage to assure you
are in the right frame so you can adjust or continue shooting.
Instantly share your images from your camera using the LUMIX LINK
app.
Redesigned Venus Engine with Intelligent Resolution Technology
--------------------------------------------------------------
The GH3's Venus Engine reduces noise and ensures the correct
exposure
( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/photo/panasonic/us_nov2012/dmc-gh3k_cf_8_lg.jpg )
A redesigned Venus Engine produces clear, crisp photo and video
images. Its MNR (Multi-process Noise Reduction) quickly detects
brightness in every part of a and its HDR (High Dynamic
Range) allows for several pictures taken at different exposure
levels to turn into a single composite picture that eliminates
over-or-under-exposure. The 3DNR reduces noise and clarifies
rough edges.
Intelligent Resolution technology detects outlines, intricate
texture, and gradation thus precisely processing pixel by pixel
to render true-to-life color reproduction that is spot-on.
Heat Disbursing Body For Extended Use
-------------------------------------
The LUMIX GH3's heat-dispersing design accommodates extended
still image and video shooting without overworking your camera.
( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/photo/panasonic/us_nov2012/dmc-gh3k_cf_9_lg.jpg )
Right from its initial design stage, the GH3K pursued a hybrid
structure by incorporating an original heat-dispersing design
that enhances super high bit-rate and extended
continuous shooting for extended as of time without
overworking your camera.
