In contrast to digital SLR cameras , the DMC-G1 does not have an optical viewfinder. An electronic viewfinder (EVF) and a 3-inch LC display with rotating and swiveling options and live view are available to the photographer for creating images . This type of camera is now included in a new class, the so-called DSLM cameras ( D igital, S ingle L ens, M irrorless , Digital, one lens, mirrorless). The DMC-G1 uses a contrast measurement method for the autofocus setting .

Further developments

  • GF series (2011 to 2015): compact models without a built-in viewfinder
  • GH series (since 2010): semi-professional cameras with electronic viewfinder and high-resolution video functions
