Your New Camera Loves Taking Video

The new Panasonic Lumix G100 digital camera is your new consummate travel companion.

If you have adventures coming up, you’ll want to ensure you have a camera that can keep up. Of course, the camera will depend on your skills and requirements but for travellers who are mainly focused on bringing home memories rather than awards, decent video is always a consideration. Fortunately, the new compact Panasonic Lumix G100 does both crisp stills and HD video like a pro.

Panasonic’s newest mirrorless camera, the Lumix G100 is specially designed for vloggers and content creators, but that doesn’t mean travellers looking for cinematic keepsakes can’t take advantage of its super lightweight and compact body, which cuts down baggage weight, and fantastic image, video, and sound performance.

A 20.3MP MOS sensor without low pass filter offers superior image quality while clear shots are possible even at night, or in lower light conditions, thanks to high sensitivity ISO 25600. But it’s with video that the new camera shines brightest. The LUMIX G100 records smooth, high-resolution 4K or Full HD video in a variety of frame rates to meet every traveller’s requirement.

The larger MFT sensor also helps to create beautifully blurred backgrounds for a professional look, while the Venus engine assures high-speed, high-performance image processing.

A powerful 5-axis hybrid image stabiliser really comes into play when making videos while moving, and provides effective shake-suppression under a wide range of situations, resulting in a much smoother, polished, and comfortable experience for viewers.

For high-quality, spatial audio recording, the LUMIX G100 includes an integrated OZO Audio by Nokia sound system – the first mirrorless camera in the world to offer such an advanced feature. Three internal microphones record clear and vibrant sound with accuracy and precision, setting a new standard in innovative audio solutions. The G100 also tracks the voice of a detected person, automatically switching to the most appropriate sound mode for the situation. With this versatile audio technology, there’s no longer any need to invest in a separate external microphone.

Some features travellers might find useful include the Video Selfie Mode, which allows for a simple and stress-free vlogging style setup, starting up when the monitor is rotated forward and capturing the videographer and background in crisp focus without the need to make adjustments.

Special video effects such as 2x/4x3 slow motion and 2x/4x/8x FHD quick motion are easy to create with quick access from on the mode dial. Time-lapse and stop motion animation features are also available with interval shooting and image composition processing inside the camera.

For perfect action shots every time, users can take advantage of the 4K Photo functionality to capture split-second moments by just selecting the preferred frame out of a burst sequence, making this camera perfect for wildlife trips with quick, sudden action.

Weighing just 412g with its 12-32mm kit lens, the G100 is incredibly light and compact.

A new tripod grip can be added to make it even easier to hold the camera while recording and can also be used as a compact tripod. Connecting with the camera via USB, you can use the tripod grip to start/stop video recording, release the shutter, and enable or disable Sleep mode.

With a three-inch, high-resolution free-angle touch screen and 3,680K dot viewfinder, the G100 makes it easy to compose high-quality images from any angle.

The G100 can also be used as a webcam, providing exceptional image quality with a rich depth of field and premium sound with video output over HDMI, or for live streaming when paired with an HDMI video capture device.
