About the performance of Face Recognition function Recognition performance varies greatly depending on shooting conditions, i.e., according to factors such as angles, facial expression and lighting, so operation under all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Because the camera searches for faces that are similar to registered faces, there are cases where the faces are not correctly recognized when the registered image and the shooting image varies much. When facial characteristics are similar, particularly between parents and their children or brothers and sisters, the camera may not distinguish the faces.

About the performance of Face Recognition functionRecognition performance varies greatly depending on shooting conditions, i.e., according to factors such as angles, facial expression and lighting, so operation under all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Because the camera searches for faces that are similar to registered faces, there are cases where the faces are not correctly recognized when the registered image and the shooting image varies much. When facial characteristics are similar, particularly between parents and their children or brothers and sisters, the camera may not distinguish the faces.

The highly popular DMC-GH1 that shoots full HD movies has now evolved to

a level that far exceeds expectations. In addition to providing even higher-

quality movies, the new model offers dramatically improved still-image

performance. Appearing as the flagship model of the LUMIX G series with

advanced functions and high performance in an elegant new body, the

DMC-GH2 maintains the Micro Four Thirds System standard advantages

of compactness and light weight, while providing even greater shooting

enjoyment. Camera performance has advanced with intuitive touch-

screen control, a new 16.05-megapixel Live MOS sensor and Venus Engine

FHD. Photos are more precise. Movies are smoother than ever before. An

outstandingly agile focus exceeds the speed of phase difference AF while

maintaining the accuracy that only contrast AF can offer. These features

respond precisely to your intent, allowing the imagination to take flight as the

subject is framed. The DMC-GH2 – a truly creative machine.

The DMC-GH2 lets you adjust the aperture, shutter speed, and exposure compensation easily and intuitively by simply sliding your finger over the screen. Fine white balance adjustments and detailed settings are also one-finger easy. For newcomers to system camera photography, touch-control ushers in a whole new style of manual operation.

The Venus Engine FHD features exceptionally advanced signal processing capabilities in both photo

and movie recording, and achieves an exceptional noise-reduction performance. The Venus Engine FHD also processes a large number of signals at high speed, making it possible to record high resolution consecutive shots and full HD movies.

The DMC-GH2 precisely captures moving subjects at higher speeds than other models can. It features

the world’s fastest level Light Speed AF of approximately 0.1 second,* which is achieved by reducing the detection time for focusing by doubling the drive speed from 60 frames per second to 120 frames per second. Both the accuracy and the speed of the advanced contrast AF system in the DMC-GH2 far exceed high-end digital SLRs with phase difference AF.

The contrast AF system* gives the LUMIX G Micro System a variety of auto focus modes, which lets you set the frame and focusing position virtually anywhere you want.

The DMC-GH2 can fire off up to approx. 5 frames per second in full 16.05-megapixel resolution with its mechanical shutter. Even higher-speed burst shooting is possible with the DMC-GH2 when the electronic shutter is used – 40 fps at 4-megapixel resolution.* Great for capturing race cars and other subjects that are difficult to catch with the naked eye.

High-speed starts let you capture decisive shots, like the curve action in a dynamic motocross race. You won’t miss a thing.* This effect cannot be guaranteed under all conditions.

The Light Speed AF captures even fleeting moments with razor-sharp precision. And a new Live MOS sensor and image processing engine render even single grains of sand with remarkable clarity.

The World’s Fastest Level of Light Speed AF Fast Start-up Time

* The time for focusing on the subject is measured using the DMC-GH2 mounted with the LUMIX G VARIO HD 14-140mm / F4.0- 5.8 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S. (H-VS014140) lens** and moving the lens position from “infinity” to “2m.” The zoom position is in the wide-angle range. A Panasonic measurement method is used.** Firmware must be updated to Version 1.3 or later.

* In high-speed burst shooting at 40 fps, the picture size is a maximum of 4 megapixels (4:3), 3.8 megapixels (3:2), 2 megapixels (16:9) or 3 megapixels (1:1).

* The Multi-aspect ratio function is not available for a 1:1 aspect ratio.

5 fps Burst Shooting with High Resolution

A Variety of Auto Focus Modes

The newly developed 16.05-megapixel multi-aspect Live MOS sensor adopts the high-speed digital vMaicovicon. A dedicated process exclusively for the vMaicovicon of the DMC-GH2 was newly developed by applying a top-class high-performance transistor and the interconnection process required for the high-speed operation of a digital circuit for a low-noise photodiode. As a result, both high resolution and an excellent S/N (Signal-to-Noise) ratio are achieved with an improvement of more than 3 dB in noise and double sensitivity.

16.05-megapixel Live MOS Sensor

High-speed, High-performance Venus Engine FHD

Using only 16.05 megapixels of the total 18.31-megapixel Live MOS sensor gives the DMC-GH2 a multiple aspect ratio capability. This lets you shoot using a 4:3 aspect ratio, a 3:2 aspect ratio, or the 16:9 aspect ratio that is optimal for HDTV playback, while maintaining the same angle of view. Unique compositions are also possible using a 1:1 aspect ratio.*

The Live MOS sensor and Venus Engine FHD have been totally refined to raise camera performance and render stunning images with high resolution, beautiful gradation and high sensitivity.A maximum sensitivity setting of ISO12800 allows shooting in extremely dark places.

High-sensitivity Shooting up to ISO12800

The new Intelligent D-range Control offers even more natural results by optimizing the exposure for each part of the image, preventing blocked shadows and blown highlights and helping to ensure that gradation and details are reproduced beautifully, including the blue color of the sky. An automatic backlight compensation function is activated whenever the camera detects that the subject is backlit.

Optimized Exposure with Intelligent D-range Control

The DMC-GH2 automatically identifies parts with outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation areas, and optimizes the edge emphasis on the outlines and detailed texture areas while using the Venus Engine FHD noise reduction process to make the soft gradation areas smoother. You can capture stunning images with details you’ve never seen before.

A Breakthrough in Size and Weight:Mirrorless Structure

A Digital Design that DeliversBeautiful Images from Corner to Corner

High-precision, High-speed Contrast Auto Focus

LUMIX G lenses are exclusively designed for digital use, so that light can enter only from straight ahead. You get superb rendering, with images that are bright, sharp and vivid all the way to the corners.

The LUMIX G Micro System uses a contrast AF system, which maximizes the use of Full-time Live View. Panasonic expanded the number of mount signal contacts from 9 (the number used in the Four Thirds System standard) to 11, to improve data transmission efficiency between lens and body. This helps to achieve a contrast AF with levels of precision and speed never before seen in a digital SLR camera.
