The new camera also introduces a full-time Live View function that, using a signal output directly from the Live MOS sensor, lets users see on the LCD screen the same image seen by the sensor. With full-time Live View and the DMC-L1's large LCD screen, users can compose shots in new ways and with greater ease and accuracy.
The DMC-L1 also features a dust reduction system that solves the digital SLR camera's long-standing problem of dust adhering to the sensor. In the new DMC-L1, Panasonic has incorporated today's most advanced digital technologies while maintaining the attractive look and operating feel of the familiar film camera.
The magnesium-alloy body, which in design closely resembles the body of a rangefinder camera from days past, combines with the aluminum-alloy lens section to offer both high rigidity and a high-grade appearance.
