Digital Compact Camera with Twin Lens System DMC-3D1
Featuring 2D Dual Shooting Capability Panasonic's cutting-edge digital compact camera DMC-3D1 employs two newly developed lens units of folded optics in a stunningly compact body.
The two sets of 25mm ultra wide angle 4x optical zoom lens takes advantage of their capability to record high resolution 3D photo and 1920 x 1080 high quality 3D HD video of side-by-side method. Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) helps shooting clear 3D images with minimal blurring. Not only rich, expressive 3D contents, but also 12-megapixel 2D photos and 1920 x 1080 full HD videos can be recorded. Taking advantage of this unique mechanism such as photo & video dual-shooting in high resolution, non-interrupted images or wide & zoom dual-shooting. Operation is easily controlled with the dedicated 3D/2D switch and the 3.5-inch large Smart Touch screen.
The High Sensitivity MOS sensor and the Venus Engine achieves high quality image recording even at high ISO setting and the high performance of these components achieves high speed consecutive shooting at 8 fps in full resolution.
To increase the enjoyment of 3D viewing, shooting and playing, the 3D photos and videos taken can be easily viewed on a VIERA 3D TV by simply inserting the SD card with 3D content into the TV's SD card slot or by connecting the camera to the TV with an HDMI cable.
In the Panasonic's expanding world of 3D entertainment, the DMC-3D1 lets users enjoy LUMIX's high quality images in both 3D and 2D by shooting, viewing and sharing them.
3D Compact Digital Camera Featuring 2-Lens Optical System for 3D Photo and 3D Video*
The DMC-3D1 is the innovative compact digital camera incorporating 2-lens optical system yet its size is stunningly compact due to the internal designing of each component.
The DMC-3D1 incorporates two newly developed 25mm ultra wide angle lens units with 4x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 25-100mm) in folded optics. The 25mm ultra-wide-angle lens gives photographers a wider range of composition possibilities with approx. 169% larger viewing space compared to that of 35mm camera. Comprising of 11 elements in 10 groups with 5 aspherical lenses, the lens units in DMC-3D1 realized downsizing of both total length and diameter. Also, adoption of new slim actuator for shutter and iris control and redesigning of O.I.S. lens contributes to this downsizing to fit 2 whole lens units in the slim, compact body of the camera.
Both 3D photo and 3D videos can be recorded in high resolution — 8-megapixel (photo) and 1920 x 1080(video) of side-by-side method Users can select 3D or 2D shooting with the dedicated switch on the back. Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabilizer) suppresses handshake to record sharp photo and stable video. In addition, Macro photo shooting is also available.
3D photos and videos can be played back on Panasonic VIERA 3D TV and Blu-ray Disc Player/Recorder that support the AVCHD format. You can insert the SD Memory Card containing the 3D contents to the equipment, or alternatively, an optional HDMI cable can be used to output the image content directly to the TV for VIERA Link operation.

2D Dual Shooting with 2-Lens System and Intuitive Touch Operation
The 2-lens system of DMC-3D1 offers more unexpected way of 2D image recording. In conventional standard digital compact cameras, users have to put priority in either photo or video recording. Typically if photo shooting is started, video is interrupted. Also, photos cannot be recorded in high resolution when video is selected and both are taken simultaneously. However with the 3D1, the new 2-lens system clears these problems completely thanks to the 2 separate mechanism of image capturing. Furthermore, it lets anyone record photo or video in different angles of view simultaneously. That is, you can record the whole party scene with one lens while drawing near a specific person with another. This outstanding function can be used not only dual photo shooting but also for photo & video dual-shooting. It is easy to switch the lens - right or left — and control its zooming with the 3.5-inch large Smart Touch screen.
High Sensitivity MOS Sensor and Venus Engine for High Image QualityThe 12-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor and the Venus Engine excel in image processing in both sensitivity and speed. Multi-process Noise Reduction applies optimum noise reduction according to the brightness of the part of the picture. Both high frequency noise that occurs in the dark part and low frequency noise in the light part are suppressed even they happen in a picture. As a result, Images recorded in low-lit situations are now dramatically clear even images are recorded at high ISO setting.
The Intelligent Handheld Nightshot mode generates beautiful night scenery shots with illumination by multiply layering the images shot consecutively. Bright, glamorous night scenery can be recorded without using a tripod.
The Venus Engine has quad-CPUs for processing large amount of 1920 x 1080 full HD data at high speed in either AVCHD and MP4*. In addition, the DMC-3D1 boasts super fast consecutive shots at 8 fps (without auto focusing) and 4 fps (with auto focusing) in full resolution. At the same time, the multi-task image-processing engine, the Venus Engine realizes a super-fast response time. Although the DMC-3D1 has 2 sets of lens unit and sensor, energy consumption of Venus Engine is minimized to maintain the battery life as long as that of single lens compact digital cameras.
Not only the 4x optical zoom, but also stereo microphone for high-quality Dolby® Digital Stereo Creator is available to offer realistic sound to the video.
*AVCHD: 60i(NTSC) , sensor output is 30p(NTSC), MP4: 30p(NTSC)
* SD Speed Class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.
