LCD Functions
Intelligent LCD
In a brightly Lit place, such as outdoors under the sun,
the Auto Power LCD function increases the brightness
Level of the backlight by about 40% maximum in severa
steps. When shooting in a dark place, such as at night,
the frame rate is adjusted based on the pixel mixed
readout method to brighten the screen in two to three
steps.
Wide-Viewing-Angle LCD
The LCD offers a wide viewing angle from any
direction, making it easy to confirm images, even
when looking at the screen diagonally.
High Angle Mode
Makes it easier to see the monitor
while holding the camera high to
shoot over a crowd.
Real-Time Histogram
This graph, which can be displayed in the LCD as you
compose the shot, shows the status of the exposure and
contrast in real-time.
Highlight Display
A flashing indicator on the LCD shows any parts of the
image that have been overexposed.
Composition Guidelines
You can use composition guidelines from two patterns*
according to the shooting subject. And guidelines can be
shown at the same time as other information and icons.

Easy-to-See Menu Display
The layout of the settings in the menu display is
extremely simple, making it easy to see and switch the
settings.

Playback Functions
Multi Display
After shooting, enjoy viewing your photos on your LUMIX
camera's LCD. View them as a slide show; display 1,
12 or 30 images at a time; or use Calendar View to see
thumbnails of all the shots taken on a particular date.
Slideshow
You can watch an ordinary slide show that displays
every image, or you can use Favorite Image Slideshow
and specify which images to play. You can also select
background music to make your slideshow even more
entertaining.
Category Playback
This function sorts photos into several categories -
Portrait, Scenery, Event, and others - and lets you play
back the images or view slideshows of the shots in a
particular category.
Personal Category Playback
Using Face Recognition technology, the camera can find
photos of people you specify, and arrange a slideshow of
just those photos. This is a big help, for example, when
you've taken a number of photos of someone and you
want to choose the best one.
Mode Playback
With this function, the camera will automatically organize all of the still and
motion images that are mixed together in memory. This makes it possible to view
still images, AVCHD Lite motion images and Motion JPEG images separately.
Dual-Image Playback
The dual-image playback display feature makes it easier to
compare two images in detail to see the differences in focus
accuracy and contrast.
9 Still Images Cut Out from a Motion Image
Motion images can be converted into a series of nine
or just one snapshot. This is effective in moving scenes
when you want to look carefully at the movement of a
sportsperson, etc.
Image Leveling
Pictures that lean to the right or left can be corrected
horizontally or vertically.

using data such as the dates and locations of where they
were taken. This makes it easier to enjoy your trave
