EVF color display, 100% field of view, 0.67x (35 mm equiv), 1.34x magnification, with 1744 kDots equivalent; OLED or articulated multi-angle 3.0 inch color OLED with touch control (614 kDots equivalent)[1]
It is the first MILC that can record video with a bit rate of up to 72 megabits per second. That is significantly higher than the specification of AVCHD 2.0 of up to 28 megabits per second, which was released in July 2011 and is used for similar cameras and camcorders.[3]
In all still and movie modes as well as with the monitor or the electronic viewfinder, the GH3 works in live view mode. It can be operated in manual focus mode with software magnification or with a versatile contrast-detection auto focus system, including face detection and object tracking. This applies to steady shots as well as to movie takes. Due to the optional electronic shutter the camera can take images without any acoustic noise.[7]
The camera body has a lithium ion battery, and an additional battery grip can be attached, which has a release button for portrait shooting, along with other control elements.
The GH3 has an internal stereo microphone and a socket for external microphones.
Wi-Fi
With a Wi-Fi connection the camera can communicate with smartphones, tablet computers or mobile and stationary computers. These devices allow remote control as well as live view. Furthermore, they can get the geo coordinates of the recording location and add these to the metadata of the recordings. The current Lumix link app does have limitations when recording in video, namely you can start the video recording but not stop it by smart phone or tablet.
The images can be transferred to compatible television sets.
Use for movie production
The ability to take video in Full HD resolution with up to 60 complete frames per second with a bit rate of up to 72 megabits per second and the capacity to use external microphones give the GH3 the potential for semi-professional movie production.
