Since the birth of LUMIX, I have been in charge of component development of items such as image processing engines, AF signal processing, and image stabilization. This was hard work, but my technical development efforts were rewarded by the knowledge that I was helping people to enjoy new forms of photography and I was pleased to offer our customers new value. Now that I have reached the top position within the LUMIX brand, this feeling is even stronger. While insisting on the highest possible image quality, which is the essence of the camera, We want to be involved in innovation that provides users with new forms of photographic and image expression, and new photo experiences.
