Packed with a 7.5 megapixel CCD, full time live view and high resolution LCD, this digital SLR is sure to be a great buy for first time photograohers. Key Features: - LEICA D Lens - The first Leica Lens designed especially for a digital SLR
- Intuitive form and function allowing you easy access to aperture and shutter speed controls
- Full-time Live View on the large, high-resolution LCD
- 7.5-megapixel, 4/3-type Live MOS sensor
- Venus Engine III reproduces even nuances in texture and atmosphere
What Panasonic Says About The Lumix DMC-L1: LEICA D Lens - The first Leica Lens designed especially for a digital SLR Provides F2.8-3.5 brightness from 28mm wide-angle to 100mm telephoto (35mm equivalent). The lens system including two dual-sided aspherical lenses minimizes distortion in wide-angle shots and suppresses the loss of peripheral resolution. A superior multi-coating process helps reduce ghosts and flaring. MEGA O.I.S in the lens unit helps minimize hand-shake to ensure that photos are sharp. Intuitive form and function Aperture ring equipped with the LEICA D lens for easy, direct aperture setting (F2.8 - F22 in 1/3 EV steps) Shutter speed dial positioned on the camera top lets you set the shutter speed from 1/2000 to 2 seconds in 1/3 EV steps. In manual mode, you can set the shutter speed from 1/4000 to 60 second, or you can select bulb (time lapse) shooting Full-time Live View on the large, high-resolution LCD 2.5" LCD offers 100% field of view and the clarity of 207,000 pixels. More shooting flexibility and greater convenience by composing while viewing the LCD In focusing manually, you can magnify a part of the image by10x for greater focusing precision. Precise preview of the depth of field, as the display is bright and easy to see, without darkening. 7.5-megapixel, 4/3-type Live MOS sensor Offers image quality comparable to a CCD sensor with the low power requirements of a CMOS sensor Low Noise thanks to a dedicated processing technology run on voltage as low as 5 V Protecting the digital SLR image sensor: Dust Reduction System Incorporates a Supersonic Wave Filter that uses supersonic vibration (around 3000 per second) to shake off any dust clinging to the sensor Venus Engine III reproduces even nuances in texture and atmosphere Precisely reproduces the images captured by the Leica D lens and sent to the Live MOS sensor. Quick startup time of one second and improved consecutive shooting performance. Low power consumption for more shots and longer shooting sessions Film Mode: choose the imaging mode that best suits your creative intent
Just as photographers can switch film brands to change the imaging characteristics, the L1 provides a total of seven "film" modes to choose from, including four color settings (Standard, Dynamic, Natural and Smooth) and three monochrome settings (Standard, Dynamic and Smooth). The Four Thirds Standard: Designed to Maximise Image Quality in Digital Cameras Click here to visit the "Four Thirds" website. The Four Thirds System is a standard for digital single-lens reflex cameras designed and developed to take full advantage of the characteristics of digital technology. Because lens and body mounting information is based on an open standard, users can freely mix and match camera bodies and lenses supplied by participating manufacturers. For accurate imaging, the light must strike the image sensor at a perpendicular angle. When a lens designed for a film camera is used, light from the edge of the image area enters at an angle, resulting in inaccurate color reproduction or dark areas. The DMC-L1's lens mount system adopts the open format of the Four-Thirds system, developed as a common standard for digital cameras. In the Four Thirds system, the lens diameter is larger than the image circle, making it possible to design the lens so that the light strikes the sensor at an almost perpendicular angle, so images are clear and accurate all the way to the edges. Four Thirds Lens Collection Another benefit of the Four Thirds system, is that lenses for digital cameras can be created in a size smaller than those that complied with 35mm film SLR camera standards, meeting the needs of today's digital age.
