Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 announcement clippings

Panasonic today introduced the LUMIX DMC-GH2 as a latest member of the New Generation System Camera LUMIX G Micro System. Fully compliant with the Micro Four Thirds System standard, the LUMIX G Micro System combines a downsized body with advanced functions that achieve both high performance and operational comfort. Featuring an intuitive touch control, the new DMC-GH2 boasts its world's fastest* level Light Speed AF of approx. 0.1 second to capture the subject in spur-of-the-moment in sharp focus*. The key components including the sensor and the image processing engine are totally refined to achieve even higher performance of the camera to render a stunning image with high resolution, beautiful gradation and high sensitivity - all worth for the flagship camera of LUMIX G Micro System DMC-GH2.

For the hybrid digital camera, recording movie is no longer an additional function but a right option for saving memories according to the subject and situation. The DMC-GH2 is innovative in the point it features full HD 1920x1080, 60i (NTSC) / 50i (PAL) smooth, high quality movie recording with powerful 60p output**. The cinema-like 24p movie with the bit rate of max. 24 Mbps provides overwhelming image quality with richly expressive afterimage. Furthermore, together with the Cinema mode, which is newly added as an option of popular Film mode, 24p movie enables the movie to have a characteristic superior gradation shown in movie. The new Variable Movie mode makes it possible to record motion images in variable frame rate for creating a fast/slow-feed movie to look it unusual. Activating the newly added EX Tele Conversion function, user can virtually extend the zoom beyond the original limit to get the subject even closer, which is available in both photo and movie. The simultaneous HDMI output while recording images is convenient for even professional users to monitor images on the separate screen.
