Product Description
From the Manufacturer
In developing the DMC-L1, Panasonic's aim was to create a digital SLR
camera that delivers superb photographic rendering capabilities and is
a pleasure to use.

The DMC-L1 comes equipped with a Leica D Vario-Elmarit lens that
features the industry's first optical image stabilization system--MEGA
O.I.S--designed specifically for the digital camera. The DMC-L1 also
incorporates a Live MOS image sensor that conforms to the Four Thirds
standard and offers 7.5 megapixels to ensure outstanding picture
quality. The new camera introduces a full-time Live View function
that, using a signal output directly from the Live MOS sensor, lets
users see on the LCD screen the same image seen by the sensor. With
full-time Live View and the DMC-L1's large LCD screen, users can
compose shots in new ways and with greater ease and accuracy.

The Panasonic L1's shutter-speed dial
The L1's shutter-speed dial maintains the attractive look and feel of
a film SLR.
The DMC-L1 also features a dust-reduction system that solves the
digital SLR camera's long-standing problem of dust adhering to the
sensor.

In the new DMC-L1, Panasonic has incorporated today's most advanced
digital technologies while maintaining the attractive look and
operating feel of the familiar film camera. A shutter speed dial on
the camera top together with an aperture ring on the Leica D Vario-
Elmarit 14-50mm/f2.8-3.5 lens give the user easy, intuitive control of
the exposure. The magnesium-alloy body, which in design closely
resembles the body of a rangefinder camera from days past, combines
with the aluminium-alloy lens section to offer both high rigidity and
a high-grade appearance.

Complies with Four Thirds standard
The DMC-L1's lens mount system adopts the open format of the Four
Thirds system, developed as a common standard for digital cameras. The
Live MOS sensor it incorporates is a 4/3-type image sensor. This means
that the DMC-L1 can be used with lenses made by a variety of
manufacturers, giving users a host of equipment options. 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 passes on a
straight path to the image sensor. As a result, 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.

Features

Refined design makes the camera a pleasure to hold and use
The DMC-L1 offers a high-grade appearance and high reliability and
durability thanks to use of a lightweight, high-rigidity magnesium
alloy for the camera body. The body periphery and grip are covered
with a textured, simulated leather that helps ensure a secure, slip-
free hold.

A strong, lightweight chassis makes the L1's body extremely durable.
Superb image rendering of Leica D lens with optical image
stabilization
The Leica D Vario-Elmarit lens, the first interchangeable lens
designed specifically for digital cameras to bear the Leica brand
name, is a standard zoom lens developed jointly by and combining the
optical technologies of Leica Camera AG and Panasonic. A new set of
quality standards were created specifically for this lens, to ensure
that it would bring out the best performance of the camera it is
coupled with.

With a focal length range equivalent to 28mm (wide) to 100mm (medium
telescopic) on a 35mm film camera, the Leica D lens provides
exceptional results with everything from portraits to landscapes. This
bright f2.8-3.5 lens allows maximum use of the out-of-focus techniques
possible only with an SLR camera.

The lens also provides outstanding macro shooting, thanks to a 29mm
minimum shooting distance (0.32x maximum magnification, 35mm
equivalent) across the entire zoom range. From landscapes to portraits
to macro close-ups, the Leica D zoom lens excels in a wide variety of
shooting situations.

The lens system comprises 16 elements in 12 groups and features two
large-diameter glass-molded aspherical lenses. Meeting the Leica D
lens lofty quality standards, this lens unit provides a superior
optical performance and matches perfectly with the digital SLR camera
body. The result is exquisite rendering, with images that offer
clarity, depth, and rich expression from corner to corner, even at a
fully open aperture.

The optical image stabilization system--MEGA O.I.S--provided in the
lens unit helps minimize blurring to ensure that photos are sharp even
in situations when hand-shake is typically a problem, such as when
taking macro close-ups, indoor shots, or night portrait shots. Thanks
to the gyrosensors and Venus Engine Plus LSI built into the lens, the
system detects camera movement at a rate of 4,000 times per second, so
hand-shake compensation is extremely precise.

There are two image-stabilization modes. In Mode 1 the hand-shake
compensation function remains active at all times, so the image in the
LCD and viewfinder is clear, which makes shots easier to compose. In
Mode 2 the system activates only when the shutter button is pressed;
this provides a more precise compensation performance. Users can
select whichever mode they prefer in a specific situation.

Full-time Live View allows users to shoot in new ways
Panasonic has developed a full-time Live View function that lets users
accurately compose photos while viewing the high-resolution 2.5-inch
LCD screen. In previous digital SLR cameras, a "live" image could be
seen only through the viewfinder. The new full-time Live View function
thus represents a dramatic change in digital SLR photography, giving
users new ways to shoot.

Full-time Live View provides a 100 percent view field coverage (that
is, the same image seen by the image sensor) on the DMC-L1's large,
2.5-inch LCD monitor. Users can compose a shot easily and accurately
while viewing the screen. The screen also displays critical
information such as a live histogram and white balance, which users
can easily check prior to snapping the shot. When a tripod is used,
full-time Live View lets users compose the image without bending to
peer through the viewfinder. In these ways, users will find that full-
time Live View gives them both more shooting flexibility and greater
convenience.

The Live MOS image sensor must remain ON when full-time Live View is
in use. The Live MOS sensor has a full-time image output function that
sends a signal directly to the LCD, allowing high-quality display on
the LCD screen of the same image seen in the sensor. Note that when
the full-time Live View function is active, the internal mirror is in
the raised position, which means that there will be no image visible
in the optical viewfinder.

Users can take advantage of the revolutionary full-time Live View
function in both Autofocus and Manual Focus modes. When using Manual
Focus, users can select a particular area within the frame and enlarge
it up to 10x. Then, viewing the DMC-L1's 2.5-inch 207,000-pixel LCD
screen, it is easy to check the focus. It is also possible, by
pressing the aperture preview button, to check the depth of field.
When the aperture is being adjusted, the DMC-L1 automatically adjusts
the brightness of the full-time Live View image on the LCD screen to
prevent it from becoming too dark to see. This makes it easier to
check the depth of field.

4/3-type 7.5-megapixel, high-resolution, energy-saving Live MOS sensor
The Live MOS sensor used in the DMC-L1 provides the beautiful images
with delicate gradation and wide dynamic range that only a CCD image
sensor can provide. To this it adds the low energy consumption only a
CMOS sensor can offer. The use of dedicated processing technology
enables operation at a low voltage of 5V, minimizing noise in darker
parts of an image. Also, photodiodes embedded deeply in the silicon
layer create a structure that suppresses noise generated on the
substrate surface. As a result, the white-spot pixel defects and
textural roughness that often characterize images captured in dim
lighting are minimized, so photos are crisp and clear.

Dust-reduction system prevents dust and other particles from degrading
images
One of the most critical issues with digital SLR cameras with
interchangeable lenses is the possibility of dust entering the camera
body during lens changes. This dust can adhere to the image sensor and
show up as spots on photos taken. Panasonic has solved this problem by
equipping the DMC-L1 with a Supersonic Wave Filter system that uses
supersonic vibration to shake off any dust clinging to the sensor.
This simplifies camera maintenance and eliminates worries about dust
entering the camera body when lenses are being changed outdoors, so
users can enjoy themselves and just concentrate on shooting.

Venus Engine III image processing LSI
The Venus Engine III is an image processing LSI developed by Panasonic
to maximize the performance of the Leica D lens and Live MOS sensor.
This advanced LSI not only helps reproduce images with outstanding
resolution, superior color, and detailed gradation, it also
distinguishes chromatic noise from luminance noise and selectively
reduces the chromatic noise, one of the chief sources of image quality
problems. This helps the DMC-L1 deliver the superb image rendering one
expects from a quality SLR camera. The Venus Engine III also works
swiftly, helping give the DMC-L1 a quick startup time of one second,
shorter shutter interval, and improved consecutive shooting
performance.

Further, the Venus Engine III consumes 20 percent less power than its
predecessor, the Venus Engine II. This combines with the Live MOS
sensor's low energy consumption to give the DMC-L1 longer battery
life. Users can take around 450 shots (CIPA standard) on a single
battery charge.

Film mode
In film cameras, the brand of film used affects the color
characteristics, gradation, and color saturation of the photos taken.
This gives photographers the option of choosing a particular brand of
film to attain a particular desired effect. The DMC-L1 provides a
similar option by giving the user 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). Just as photographers can switch film brands to change
the imaging characteristics, DMC-L1 users can switch modes to achieve
a similar effect.

Two-axis white balance adjustment
In addition to the conventional white balance setting, the DMC-L1
features a two-axis setting system that allows even finer white
balance adjustment. Making adjustments along a horizontal amber-blue
axis and a vertical green-magenta axis, users can set the camera for
detailed color cast compensation over virtually the entire color
space.

Extra Optical Zoom
When the camera is set to record at less than the maximum number of
pixels, users can take advantage of an Extra Optical Zoom function.
(Only applicable in using full-time Live View function.) This function
alters the 7.5-megapixel Live MOS sensor's operating area, to vary the
angle of view and increase the maximum zoom ratio.

Unlike a digital zoom, the Extra Optical Zoom function extends the
focal length 1.5 times when the the DMC-L1 is used with the Leica D
Vario-Elmarit 14-50mm/f2.8-3.5 ASPH lens provided and when shooting at
3-megapixel or a lower-resolution mode without degrading the image.
Users enjoy extra zoom power without loss of picture quality.
