Camera Overview — Panasonic DMC-3D1

The Panasonic LUMIX 3D1 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by Panasonic's Venus Engine image processor. It covers an ISO range of 100 to 3200, giving it reasonable flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions. The camera shoots stills at a maximum resolution of 4000x3000 pixels and supports a burst mode capable of up to 8 frames per second, making it responsive for capturing fast-moving subjects.

Video recording tops out at 1080p at up to 30fps in 8-bit color, with color profile options including Standard and Cinema. The 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD with 460K dot resolution serves as the primary interface, as there is no optical or electronic viewfinder. Autofocus relies on a 23-point contrast detection system with subject tracking enabled.

Image stabilization is handled optically (OIS) alongside a digital IS option. The body is compact and lightweight at 215g, measuring 102 x 64 x 27mm in plastic construction, with no weather sealing. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and connectivity includes USB and Mini HDMI output.
