New Panasonic Lumix GH1 arrival
This was my first afternoon of handling the Panasonic Lumix GH1, after I was lucky to take it out of the box, I was impressed with just what camera can do. Instruction manual is a quarter inch thick and one would need a Phd degree, just to get going. I wanted to get a red one, but red ones were all snatched, so I had to put up with a black body or postpone my holiday!
The body is unbelievably compact and light. It comes as a nice surprise that chassis is a mixture of plastic and metal and aesthetically the camera is pleasing – certainly to my eye.
A 14-140 Lumix HD lens, shooting was easy-peasy. There’s a lumpy Mode dial on the top right-hand side of the camera body, with the all usual settings, bellow which with touch of practical genius Panasonic has provided on/off button. Dial has a quick switch that makes changing all the multi shot modes easy.
If you want to become Lumix GH1 expert and spend endless hours tweaking the setting, do go ahead. But, Panasonic had cleverly provided point-and-shoot-out-of-the-box settings that will make average snapper very happy.
23-point auto focus system works extremely quickly and makes portraits relay easy, meaning that every face in the picture will be in focus when shutter button was pressed. Count the Face Recognition feature and you will forget about $1,400 plus that vanished on your credit card when you finally acquired this marvel. zkq8n6utxf
