The DMC-3D1 can record 3D photos & 1920 x 1080 high quality videos of the side by side method without any special operation or setting. Right & left images are captured simultaneously by the two lenses & the MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) of the each lens compensates for the blurring caused by h&-shake, even when shooting in 3D. It lets everybody take beautiful & blur-free images with ease. 3D photos & videos can be played back on Panasonic VIERA 3D TV that supports AVCHD format. The DMC-3D1 features 2-lens system. Folded optics lenses & high sensitivity MOS sensors are mounted on both right & left. This system enables dual shooting of "wide & zoom" & "photo & video" by precise synchronization. It is also capable of multi-angle photo & video shooting, & taking photos with 12.1-megapixel full resolution while it continues to record videos. The DMC-3D1 is equipped with a 3.5-inch 16:9 LCD with 460, 000 dots high-resolution. The large LCD allows the display to control two images when recording in "wide & zoom" or "photo & video" simultaneously. With touch-screen, it is easy to switch the lens
- right or left
- & control its zooming intuitively. When playing back, you can drag the image across the screen with a finger to browse a collection of photos as you flip over the pages of the book. The high sensitivity MOS sensor & Venus Engine excel in image processing in both sensitivity & speed. Multi-process noise reduction applies optimum noise reduction according to the brightness of the part of the image. Images recorded in low-lit situations are clear even when shooting at high ISO setting. The Venus Engines quad-CPUs circuit system achieves high-speed processing for large amount of full HD video data & fast consecutive shots at 8 fps in full resolution.
