Advanced Technology Packs Higher Image Quality into a Smaller, Lighter Body
The World's Smallest, Lightest* System Camera
with a Revolutionary Mirrorless Design
The DMC-G1, which is based on the Micro Four Thirds System standard,
revolutionized the world of interchangeable lens cameras in September
2008 as the world's first mirrorless system camera. The Micro Four
Beautiful Images,
Thirds System standard was developed as an extended version of the
Superb Performance
Four Thirds System standard for interchangeable lens cameras. By
adopting this standard and developing a camera that eliminates the
mirror box and optical viewfinder unit, Panasonic was able to achieve a
drastic reduction in both size and weight compared with conventional
digital SLRs. This made it possible to create a new-generation system
camera that features Full-time Live View, high-speed, high-precision
Contrast AF, HD movie recording, and more. The DMC-G2 adopts this
standard and inherits all of those benefits. You'll find it small enough
to take anywhere, yet sophisticated enough to take you as far into
photography and movies as you want to go.

12.1-Megapixel Live MOS Sensor:
Higher Image Quality, Lower Power Consumption
The DMC-G2's 4/3-type 12.1-megapixel Live
MOS sensor offers the best of both worlds – the
superior image quality of a CCD sensor, and the
lower power consumption of a CMOS sensor. This
sensor is also advantageous for photo and movie
recording with its high S/N, thanks to an advanced circuit structure
that is unaffected by the noise generated in each of the circuits. It
results in clear images even when taken at high ISO sensitivity.

The High-Speed, High-Performance
Venus Engine HD II
The Venus Engine HD II incorporates two CPUs.
This not only boosts image processing speed, it
also helps achieve an exceptional noise-reduction
performance. Also, the two CPUs of the Venus
Engine HD II allow long-time movie recording in
AVCHD Lite while maintaining low power consumption. And the Venus
Engine HD II features a new circuit that makes Intelligent Resolution
Technology possible too.

Dust Reduction System Protects
the Image Sensor
If dust or other foreign matter gets inside the
camera when you're changing lenses, it could cling
to the image sensor and show up as a spot in photos.
The DMC-G2 helps eliminate this possibility by
placing a Supersonic Wave Filter in front of the Live
MOS sensor. Vibrating around 50,000 times per second, the filter repels
dust and other particles. This keeps the image sensor clean at all times
and eliminates the need for cumbersome maintenance procedures.
