Micro Four Thirds – the extended digital
Interchangeable lens camera system standard
The open standard that led to the mirror-less body
The LUMIX G Micro System adopts the Micro Four Thirds System standard, developed
as an extended version of the Four Thirds System standard for digital camera systems.
Using this standard, and developing a camera body that eliminates the mirror box and
optical viewfinder unit, the lens mount outer diameter was reduced by about 6 mm
(compared with the conventional Four Thirds camera) and shorten the flange-back
distance* by about half.
Removing the mirror box
also makes for smoother
operation. The result is
a digital interchangeable
lens camera that's both
extremely compact and
highly mobile. The LUMIX
G Micro System is a
camera that you can take
anywhere – and that, in
turn, can take you as far
as you want to go.
*The distance between the lens
mount and image sensor.
These interchangeable lenses, designed exclusively for the Micro Four Thirds cameras,
brings out the full potential of the 4/3-type image sensor. For instance, some aspherical
lenses and ED lenses can
ensure the impressive image
rendering even in the smaller
size than the Four Thirds lens.
Also, as a prerequisite for
Full-time Live View shooting,
all lenses support contrast AF.
The LUMIX G lenses incorporate Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S., the advanced optical
image stabilization system that has highly proven in
LUMIX digital cameras. In the LUMIX G lenses, effi cient
stabilization elaborated by a special integrated LSI that
processes output from the gyrosensors, which operate
4,000 times per second. This enhanced system helps
achieve an exceptional hand-shake compensation
performance.
