16.05 megapixel
live MOS sensor
The DMC-GH3 features the newly developed 16.05 effective megapixels Live MOS sensor, boasting a wide dynamic range and high ISO shooting capability. Excellent video quality is also assured with various formats available for you to use (including AVCHD, AVCHD Progressive, MP4 or MOV with the frame rate at 50p, 25p or 24p according to usage*) and the DMC-GH3 is capable of recording ultra-high bitrate video continuously for an unlimited time.
New Venus engine
The new Venus engine has an unprecedented ability to process both still and video signals with razor-sharp clarity. Featuring 3D Noise Reduction and Multiprocess Noise Reduction, images are defined and life-like.
HDR (High Dynamic Range)
Tricky lighting situations become easy to negotiate with the High Dynamic Range function. The DMC-GH3 takes three consecutive photos with different exposure levels and then overlaps them. Blown highlights and blocked shadows get cancelled out and a single photo is composed. The Venus engine processes the image in the background, all without having to wait, ensuring you don’t miss a photo opportunity.
* HDR cannot be used with the Creative Control and Scene Guide functions, or in iA mode.
Silent shutter
The DMC-GH3’s shutter systems are driven electronically for vibration-free operation. This is ideal to capture crisp still life images and landscapes without need for a tripod, or for taking pictures of wildlife without frightening them off.
Creative Control
The Creative Control* function gives you access to professional-style effects. Effect parameter, defocusing area and exposure compensation are also adjustable.
* Soft Focus and Star Filter cannot be used for video recording.
Photo style
You can choose from 6 colour types to get even more detailed image settings or to match the shooting situation. In addition the contrast, sharpness, saturation or noise reduction for each mode parameter can be customised and stored for future use.
Time lapse shot
Once the start time, the interval and the number of pictures to shoot are set, the camera automatically shoots the images. You can leave the camera and get a time lapse record of flowers coming into bloom or moving clouds.
Long-exposure photography
The DMC-GH3 offers bulb mode photography of up to 60 minutes for long-exposure photography. This is useful for taking star trail photos or night photography.
Multiple Exposure
The Multi Exposure function lets you take up to four exposures in a single frame. You can layer subjects that wouldn't ordinarily appear in the same frame for an artistic effect, or make one subject appear two or three times in the same frame.
Level Gauge
Acceleration sensors inside the camera detect the horizontal condition. A level gauge indicating the two directions of horizontal lean and front/rear tilt is displayed. This helps you check whether you are holding the camera horizontally, for example, when shooting scenery.
Versatile Video Formats
Panasonic defies the conventional boundaries of a consumer digital camera elevating the potential of video recording capability even higher. You can freely choose the format from AVCHD, AVCHD Progressive, MP4 or MOV with the frame rate at 60p (NTSC) / 50p (PAL), 30p (NTSC) / 25p (PAL) or 24p according to the usage*. The DMC-GH3 is capable of recording ultra high bitrate video recorded at 72 Mbps (ALL-Intra) or 50 Mbps (IPB). And it is capable of recording continuously for an unlimited time**.
* 60p (NTSC) / 50p (PAL) video recording is not available in AVCHD and MP4 video recording.
** In the model for PAL areas, motion image can be recorded in 29 min 59 sec.
Auto recording
The DMC-GH3 simultaneously records uncompressed linear PCM audio with MOV video files, and Dolby Digital audio with AVCHD video files. A mic level indication lets you adjust the sound in 19 steps and a Wind Cut function reduces wind noise. All of these features work together to give you truly high-quality sound.

Time code
Time codes are essential for video editing, as they provide the information needed to specify scenes along the video timeline. The DMC-GH3 includes a count-up system with Rec Run and Free Run codes and a recording system with Drop Frame and Non Drop Frame codes. These time code functions meet professional needs for postproduction work.
Connectivity
The DMC-GH3 comes with a variety of connection terminals for more flexible shooting options. The newly added a 3.5mm microphone jack allows high quality audio recording using an external microphone. It also comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack enabling monitoring the recording audio while shooting video real-time. The DMC-GH3 is also capable of real-time image output not only on the OLED display (LVF or the rear monitor) but also on the external monitor via an optional HDMI mini cable simultaneously while recording video. It is suitable for the professional video making that requires serious monitoring of the imageries. You can choose to output only the recording content or the content with the setting menus individually depending on a display.
Seamless file generation
When recording video in MOV, AVCHD Progressive and AVCHD, the DMC-GH3 automatically generates multiple seamless files for continuous recording.
* When the file size in MOV format exceeds 4 GB, video recording continues uninterrupted, but separate video files are used for playback.
Creative video mode
Select either of four manual video modes: Program AE, Aperture-Priority, Shutter-Priority, or Manual Exposure. They will faithfully reflect your shooting intent, and give you a wide range of video images.
Slow motion and fast motion video in full HD
The Slow / Fast-Motion Mode in Creative Video Mode enables slow-motion (40% / 48% / 80%) and fast-motion (160% / 200% / 300%), all in full HD.
Extra tele-conversion function
The Extra Tele Conversion function virtually extends the zoom range when recording image not in the full-size. So you can take telephoto shots even with lenses that don't normally allow zooming. You can take 2x zoom shots in still image recording*¹ and 2.4x / 3.6x / 4.8x zoom shots in video recording.
*1 When a picture size of [S], 4:3 aspect ratio is selected. The magnification level differs depending on picture size and aspect ratio setting.
Contrast AF System
In the DMC-GH3's Contrast AF system, the image sensor doubles as the AF sensor to resist any mechanical margin of error. Compared with Phase Difference AF, the focusing is precise even at small F-numbers. The DMC-GH3 provides sensor drive and lens control at the speed of 240 fps,*1 which is twice as fast as conventional models, to achieve a higher focus detection speed than competitive models even against fast-moving subjects.
*1 As of September 17, 2012, using a LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. or LUMIX G X VARIO 35-100mm / F2.8 / POWER O.I.S. lens.
Touch Pad AF
Touch Pad AF lets you adjust the focus position by touching the rear monitor while watching the results through the viewfinder.
Full Area Focusing with Touch AF
The DMC-GH3 incorporates full-area focusing which makes it possible to set focus on any point in the field of view. Frame composition is free and intuitive combining the touch-screen operation.
Eye Sensor AF
Eye Sensor AF automatically starts focusing when you look into the viewfinder to capture spur-of-the-moment shots without having to activate AF by half-pressing the shutter button, for speedier shooting.
Pinpoint AF
The Pinpoint AF function allows more precise focus setting by further enlarging the focusing area. It assists, for example, setting focus right on the pupil in an eye.
6 fps Burst Shooting
with Full Resolution
The DMC-GH3 captures moving subject clearly with the burst shooting at 6 fps in full resolution (max. 18 consecutive shots of RAW+JPEG). It is great for capturing fast subject motion, such as sports scenes or birds in flight. You can take a series of shots, then choose the ones you like the best and delete the rest. Max 20 fps Super High-speed burst shooting is possible with the DMC-GH3 when the electronic shutter is used.
Splash / Dustproof Design
A splash / dustproof design is achieved by tightly sealing the joints and control components of the body. In particular, careful attention was given to the popup flash. To prevent vignetting caused by the lens, the popup flash incorporates a sliding mechanism that raises the flash to its operating position. The DMC-GH3 has taken thorough measures to prevent the entry of dust and water from this section.
1,744K-dot Live Viewfinder
The DMC-GH3 boasts high-precision, high-speed OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays. Increasing the resolution of display area to 1,744K-dot, the new 16:9 Wide Screen LVF boasts approx.1.34x / 0.67x (35mm camera equiv.) magnification and 100% field of view and eyepoint of approximately 21 mm. By adopting the OLED display, the display time lag is minimized dramatically compared with the predecessor DMC-GH2.
3.0-inch Free-angle OLED Rear Monitor
The 3.0-inch 614K-dot free-angle OLED rear monitor (3:2 aspect) with wide-viewing angle rotates 180° to the side and tilts 270° up and down offers approx. 100% of field of view. The OLED rear monitor adopts static touch control for more smooth operation either in shooting and in playback.
Original Heat-Dispersing Design
Right from the design stage, the DMC-GH3 pursued a hybrid structure for still and video images. A heat-dispersing design was used to enhance video shooting and enable extended recording of high-quality images.
Dust Reduction System
To eliminate dust and other foreign matter that might otherwise enter the camera when changing lenses, SSWF (Super Sonic-Wave Filter) that vibrates approximately 80,000 times / second is mounted between the low-pass filter and the shutter. Each time the power is turned on, the filter oscillates the sensor surface to automatically remove dust and other particles.
