World's First Interchangeable Lens System Camera with Touch-Control Shooting

The LUMIX G Micro System has been sparking revolutions in the market as its name "New-Generation System Camera" suggests. Ever since the release of DMC-G1, the first interchangeable lens system camera based on the Micro Four Thirds System standard with dramatic downsizing of the body adopting the mirrorless structure. The GH1 realized 1920 x 1080 full HD (High Definition) movie recording and the GF1 brought an innovation even in the viewpoint of design with a flat, slim profile. To develop the new DMC-G2, Panasonic focused on the operability and elevated it even higher by adoption of touch-screen that connects the sight and action most intuitively. Just a touch on the subject in the LCD lets you set AF even to release the shutter. Various advanced AF functions taking advantage of high-speed, accurate contrast AF are now as easy and comfortable as it never was with a combination of touch-screen operation. Yet the camera body is compact enough to be the world’s smallest and lightest

Dust is the enemy,and as we change lenses, put rear caps in our pocket, we are exposing our sensor to the possibility of dust contamination. Those little spots you see in the sky areas are not birds or airplanes. Our repair technician Jay Campbell will professionally clean your digital camera sensor. For emergencies Jay suggests simply using a blower such as a Rocket Blaster.
Arizona has a variety of landscapes to choose from when you are visiting. The one common factor is our unusual light. If you are from back east, or up north you are not used to the incredible contrast your photographic scenes will have. Our light is so bright, color saturation can be washed out without the use of a good uv or a polarizing filter. Always use your lens hood.
Quite pleasant,If you are from out of town the summer is enjoyable as long as you get up early and photograph in the first two to three hours after daybreak. After that you need a hat, plenty of sun block, and hydration. Water is not enough. Electrolytes are essential for staying healthy in the heat, so a sport drink,or an electrolyte enhanced water is essential.
