FEATURES

Full-Time Live View Redefines Digital SLR Photography

Greater Flexibility with a 2.5" Free-Angle LCD

Face Detection Ensures That No One Gets Lost in the Crowd

No More Blurry Photos

A first in digital SLR cameras , Intelligent ISO Control prevents motion blur by detecting if the subject is moving and adjusting the ISO setting and shutter speed accordingly. The camera's Leica D lens is also equipped with Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S. optical image stabilization system, which prevents blurring caused by shaky hands and helps you capture sharp, clear, beautiful images even when taking telephoto shots or shooting in dim lighting.

Compact and Lightweight for More Fun, Greater Mobility

World-Class Leica Lens

Four Thirds™ Standard Designed Especially for the Digital Camera

Dust Reduction System Helps Protect the Inside of the Camera

Every time you turn the camera on, a supersonic wave filter located in front of the image sensor vibrates vertically around 30,000 times a second to create a wave-like motion across the entire filter that shakes away any dust particles that enter the camera. This system even removes particles that would not be loosened by the horizontal movement of other image sensors.
