About the performance of Face Recognition function
Recognition performance varies greatly depending on shooting conditions, i.e., according to factors such as angles, facial expression
and lighting, so operation under all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Because the camera searches for faces that are similar to
registered faces, there are cases where the faces are not correctly recognized when the registered image and the shooting image
varies much. When facial characteristics are similar, particularly between parents and their children or brothers and sisters, the
camera may not distinguish the faces.
Partial restrictions on using Panasonic digital video cameras to play AVCHD motion images recorded with the DMC-GF3.
•AVCHD motion images recorded with the image quality set to SH mode (1280 x 720) cannot be played on AVCHD-compatible digital video
cameras. •AVCHD motion images recorded with AVCHD-compatible digital video cameras cannot be played on the DMC-GF3.

The DMC-GF3’s Live MOS sensor is
advantageous for photo and video recording
with its high S/N (Signal-to-Noise), which
results in high quality images.
The Venus Engine achieves
both advanced signal processing
and much less power
consumption.
The new advanced noise reduction system
realized S/N improvement by approx. 3dB
at ISO3200 / ISO6400 setting respectively
and improved the color

The new LEICA DG lens features the Nano Surface
Coating, which minimizes ghosting and flare, and an
Ultra High Refractive (UHR) index lens, which makes it
thin and light without compromising its image quality.
Moreover, its F1.4 brightness allows a beautiful soft
focus for photos and videos to be even more impressive.

A Breakthrough in Size and Weight: Mirrorless Structure
The LUMIX G Micro System's mirrorless structure achieves
an extremely compact size and lightweight, cutting the
flange focal distance almost in half and reducing the body
mount radius by 6 mm. You get breathtaking pictures with
superior mobility, thanks to an image sensor that's identical
in size to larger Four Thirds System standard cameras.
LUMIX G Micro System
Included Software Makes Your Photos More Expressive
This software makes it possible to
sort and organize photos and videos
not only of those newly taken but
also of those stored in your computer
with quick start-up and fast read-in
of images. You can upload photos to
Facebook and videos to YouTube™ via this software, too.
The DMC-GF3 records original
image data in RAW file format.
A number of highly advanced
functions can be applied to
these RAW images by using
this software with its unique
combination of high resolution and extraordinary
color separation performance.
You can easily edit, convert and
manage videos that you took in
AVCHD format. This helps to
create the kind of videos you want
and greatly adds to the fun after
shooting.
