It is held in GermanyPhotokinaSince the exhibits of actual machines are being carried out, I have checked the details while actually touching them.

The Panasonic booth at the venue of Photokina is as follows.


The interior of the booth is like this.


Apply "GH 3" using the whole wall.


There is also a slice model exhibit.



Magnesium made body frame which is lightweight and excellent in robustness are as follows.


"GH 3" is rotating with Kurukuru in the booth which is about twice the height of adults.


"GH 3" placed on a turntable under dim lighting.


Going to the hands-on corner and actually picking it up in a hand is like this.


Although it is the appearance of a splendid and rugged impression, it seems that it does not seem to be too large as a micro Four Thirds machine if it is the size of a hand of a general adult male with a size that gets hands fit when actually holding it.


The main body size is 133 mm in width × 93 in height, 82 mm in depth, the weight including the battery and SD card is 550 g.


On the back, it is equipped with a 3-inch organic EL display (approx. 610,000 dots) corresponding to the touch operation that can adjust the angle.


Approximately 1.74 million pixel organic EL is adopted as EVF.


It is like this when compared with the previous model 'GH 2 (photo left).


Compatible with IEEE 802.11b / g / n wireless LAN, you can operate the shutter in conjunction with the smartphone and send shooting data. SD / SDHC / SDXC card can be used for recording media.


Headphone terminal and HDMI output terminal are mounted on the left side.


Looking from above it looks like this. A dial is also attached to the back of the shutter button, which is convenient when shooting while changing the setting frequently in the manual mode.


A mode dial is also attached to the part to be operated with the thumb, and it has become a feeling of operation close to Canon's digital single lens only a little.


It pops up Speedlight (strobe) and it feels like this.


The upper limit of the ISO sensitivity is 12800, and the shutter speed can be set from 1/60 to 1/4000.


It is like this when the option for movie shooting such as microphone is attached.
