Features
Touch ScreenJust touch the LCD to indicate the subject, and the LUMIX G2 focuses on it instantly. Choose from four AF modes (listed below) to match the conditions. You can also operate the auto focus and shutter release at the same time with just a touch, for a completely new way to shoot.

iA ModeIn iA (Intelligent Auto) mode, simply touch the subject on the LCD and the LUMIX G2 automatically selects the optimal scene mode.

Exposure MeterYou can adjust the exposure compensation by sliding your finger on the aperture and shutter speed settings in the exposure meter shown on the LCD. The range in which appropriate exposure is not possible is shown in red, so you can intuitively grasp the corresponding aperture and shutter speed combinations.

Quick Menu touch is all it takes to make a variety of settings, including photo size, ISO sensitivity and white balance. You spend less time fiddling with the camera and more time getting great shots.

Touch-Operated PlaybackA variety of touch-control operations make playback quick, easy and more fun. For example, with Touch-Scroll Playback you simply slide your finger across the LCD to scroll through images. And with Touch-Zoom Playback, you can simply touch a part of the image to enlarge it to as much as 16x.

HD MovieThe hybrid LUMIX G2 lets you take both high quality photos and HD movies. You can shoot breathtaking HD (1280 720) movies in AVCHD Lite (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264).

AF TrackingThe camera locks on the subject and follows it around, keeping it in sharp focus and properly exposed. It keeps tracking even if the subject turns to the side.

Face Recognition This function recognizes the faces of up to three people that have been registered in the camera, and displays the names on the LCD. The LUMIX G2 then optimizes the focus and brightness of the recognized faces and captures them clearly and beautifully.

Intelligent Exposure The camera can correct the brightness in parts of the image that are too dark due to insufficient lighting, backlighting or use of the flash.

Intelligent ISO Control If the subject moves as you shoot, it automatically adjusts the ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to help prevent subject blur.

MEGA O.I.SGyrosensors built into the lens detect hand-shake and an O.I.S. lens shifts to compensate, assisting you in getting clear, beautiful, blurfree photos.
