New High sensitivity mode
Blurred images are caused by 2 reasons
MEGA O.I.S. can compensate hand-shake.

• Hand-shake
• Subject movement

Faster shutter speed by high sensitivity is
necessary.
To realize high sensitivity mode, LUMIX uses
pixel-mixed readout method.
In this high sensitivity mode, ISO setting is
increased up to 1600 automatically. So we can use
faster shutter speed to minimize the blur of
subject movement.

High sensitivity mode
ISO80, 1/8sec
ISO800, 1/60sec
This mode can minimize the blur of subject
movement thanks to fast shutter speed.

Double compensation by O.I.S. and High sensitivity
MEGA O.I.S. is effective in most shooting
situations. Only in some cases, you may need
High sensitivity mode.

MEGA O.I.S. is effective in most shooting
situations. Only in some cases, you may wish to
choose High sensitivity mode.

Some shooting situations need high sensitivity
In some shooting situations, we need higher
sensitivity over ISO800 in addition to MEGA O.I.S.

1. Blurred image caused by subject movement
Although Mega O.I.S. can stop the hand-shake, the
blurred images happen due to subject movement in
some cases, especially when taking photos of
baby or pets who cannot stop moving.

Thanks to MEGA O.I.S., we can stop the hand-shake
even in this slow shutter situation. This is
clear because the background is not blurred in
those images. Only the subject is blurred due to
the subject movement.

Stop the blurred images of subject movement
High sensitivity mode can stop the moving subject
thanks to high speed shutter in-doors.

High sensitivity mode is effective even outdoors
Even outdoor with some light, high sensitivity
mode is effective when taking fast moving
subjects without blur.

High sensitivity mode captures the clear,
beautiful images very easily inside the room.

Only the combination of MEGA O.I.S. and High

Conclusion
High sensitivity mode is very effective in some
shooting situations, especially when taking
moving subjects.The combination of MEGA O.I.S.
and High sensitivity is more important. Only
limitation with either function, we cannot take
beautiful and clear pictures in very dark
conditions.
Only LUMIX has both MEGA O.I.S. and ISO1600 high
sensitivity in the market.Please appeal this
strong advantage to the end consumers!! But
please do not forget to mention that we can only
recommend to print up to 4 x 6 (10 x 15cm) due
to low resolution of the pixel mixed-readout
method.

Higher sensitivity moving pictures
Not only resolution but also sensitivity is much
enhanced, so we can shoot brighter and clearer
moving picture even in low light situation.
