NEW FUN
High Defi nition that Goes Beyond Beauty – All the Way to Emotion
My Color mode puts you in control of the color
In My Color mode you can freely adjust 
the color, brightness and saturation 
parameters, while checking the Full-
time Live View image to see how those 
adjustments affect the picture. This 
makes it easier and more fun to create 
interesting, expressive images. Adjust the settings that best suit 
the shooting conditions and your expressive intent, and then enjoy 
your own photography.
Film mode – To capture photos with a special 
mood or expressiveness
Much like changing 
the film type in a 
film camera, you 
can enjoy a wide 
range of expression 
based on six color 
modes and three monochromatic modes. When the multi-film 
mode is selected, you can record pictures having up to three 
different effects with each press of the shutter button.
Exposure modes and Scene modes that fi t a 
range of situations
The G1 starts with the common P/A/S/M 
exposure modes and adds a host more to give 
you easy shooting and beautiful results in a 
wide range of situations. These include an iA 
mode in which the camera makes all of the 
settings, a Custom mode that lets you register 
up to three sets of settings you use often, and Portrait, Scenery, 
Sports, Close-up, Night Portrait, SCN (Sunset/Party/Baby/Pet), 
and My Color modes.
Designed for easy operation
A textured coating on the grip makes the 
G1 easy to hold and handle, and the grip's 
gentle curvature helps prevent hand 
fatigue even after extended use. The front 
dial on the top of the grip provides even 
smoother operation. By pressing the front 
dial, you can quickly set the shutter speed, aperture, and exposure 
compensation while holding the camera in shooting position.

1920 x 1080-pixel HD (high-defi nition) 
photo recording
The G1 shoots wide-screen, 16:9, full-HD images. These images 
are simply breathtaking when displayed on an HDTV, which 
handles about four times the data of a standard-defi nition TV. With 
G1, you can enjoy a whole new style of HDTV viewing with family 
and friends.
HD output-ready for the HDTV age
The G1 has an HDMI output terminal. 
When the G1 is connected to an HDMI-
compatible TV via an HDMI mini cable 
(optional), the user can easily enjoy a 
slideshow of photos taken with the G1. 
When the G1 is connected to a VIERA TV 
that has VIERA Link capability, the TV's 
remote control unit can be used to run 
the slideshow.

Color selection: Unique in more ways than one
Advanced technologies and performance set the G1 apart from other cameras. Its choice of body colors does too. All models feature 
a textured coating and, in addition to authentic black, the G1 comes in attractive red and blue colors that add to the fun of owning this 
unique digital interchangeable lens camera. The G1 lets you bring a splash of color into your life while capturing spectacular images of 
the world around you.
