Thanks to its characteristics the central 117 cm double blade cutter bar is ideal for cutting in rustic areas, fruit orchards, or produce grass for animal feed. From the 29 August 2023, London's Ultra Low Emission Zone, or ULEZ, has expanded to encompass all of Greater London, including Heathrow Airport. Optical image stabilisation is supplied via the lens, rather than being built-in to the camera body, a key difference between the Panasonic and Olympus systems. Note that the 14mm pancake lens does not offer image stabilisation. If available, it can be turned on and off via the Mega O.I.S switch on the lens barrel, with three different modes accessible through the DMC-GF3's menu system.

Panasonic Lumix GF3 Review | Trusted Reviews

I’ve included this clip to demonstrate the touch-focus capabilities of the GF3 by touching the screen in the area of the coffee cup and the beer pumps on the bar. It’s very responsive and you can only just hear the dull clunk of the AF motor in action. Suffice it to say achieving a similar focus-pulling effect by manually turning the focusing ring can be very difficult indeed, so it’s a key advantage of the GF3’s touch-screen system. I actually think the JPG colors on the GF3 are the best than Panasonic has ever done. They are very pleasing and require considerably less post processing than any of their other cameras. No, they are not Oly colors, but they are really quite good. I choose just GF2 2 weeks ago after some indepth comparison between GF2 vs GF3 vs Olympus E-PM1. I think it is easily the best camera of the bunch. The advantage of GF2 over GF3 are: The cutter bar teeth have a special profile for perfect cutting and are made of special heat treated steel. It has been conceived to cut in rough and fallow land, but it can be successfully used to cut hay too and also in agriculture to clean in-between orchards, thanks to its excellent manageability.Above I’ve pictured the three generations of Lumix GF, starting with the original Lumix GF1 on the far right, with the GF2 sandwiched in the middle and the latest GF3 on the left. It’s clear how the system has evolved between models, first with a significant reduction in size between the GF1 and GF2, followed by further shrinking and a curvy redesign with the latest GF3. The Panasonic GF3 looks great, and feels perfectly balanced, with the Lumix 14mm f/2.5 pancake lens mounted. Both engines have recoil start and adopt the latest technical innovation ensuring easy engine starts, reliability, low emissions, reduced consumption, high performance and vibration reduced to the minimum. The Grillo GF3’s engine are designed for the professional use on slopes and are equipped with a rear bumper. The faster processor also helps the continuous shooting rate edge up to 3.8 fps - a 20% improvement over the GF2. It is important to note, however, that like previous G-series models, the fastest shooting rate comes at the expense of live view. The fastest shooting rate possible with live view is 2.8fps. Interestingly, given that they share a sensor, the ISO sensitivity range of the GF3 starts at 160, rather than 100 in the GF2. According to Panasonic, this is a recalibration to make the most of the sensor response, rather than a simple renaming of the existing setting. As if this wasn’t enough, Panasonic has proudly declared the GF3 to be both 17% smaller and 15% lighter than its predecessor – the already quite small GF2. Indeed, Panasonic even claims that the GF3 is the “world’s smallest and lightest interchangeable lens camera body with a built-in flash”.

Helpfully, there is a dedicated iA+ button on the G3's top-plate and pressing this in any exposure mode switches to Intelligent Auto plus. Colour control Straight out of the box the most noticeable difference between the GF3 and its predecessors is the styling. While the GF2 signified a move away from the straight lines and angularity of the GF1, the GF3 takes the process even further, with all of its edges and corners further rounded off. When Intelligent Auto is switched on, the GF3 changes the scene mode used when you touch the subject, for example selecting portrait mode if you touch a face and macro mode if you touch a close-up flower. If you prefer to manually focus rather than use the snappy AF, you can magnify any part of the subject by 1x, 5x or 10x by simply dragging the image around the screen. The final touchscreen ability from an image composition point of view is the ability to release the shutter, with a small icon on the right hand screen enabling this functionality, and then a single on-screen tap all that's required to take the picture.OLYMPUS - News Release: World's fastest AF*, Flagship of PEN series "OLYMPUS PEN E-P3" ". Olympus-global.com . Retrieved 26 December 2018. Like Panasonic's other CSCs the GF3 is built following the Micro Four Thirds design. This means that it uses a Four Thirds type sensor and that the lens mount is the same as on the current Olympus PEN series cameras. The Loncin G300FA, Honda GX270 petrol and Kphler KD15 350 diesel engine are ideal for professional mowing on slopes.
