Panasonic ELUGA

Overview

Waterproof Android Smartphone

Call For Fresh Style
Introducing a smartphone that embraces style and resists water: The ELUGA. Enjoy its super thin frame and big screen with 66% display area ratio. Moreover, experience its ergonomic design, which makes it easy to control everything with one hand. Packed into a super compact, simple and smooth body.

Ultra-light
With a weight of 103g the Panasonic ELUGA is ultra-light, making it the perfect accessory everywhere you go.

Full-scale screen with super thin frame
Compared to other phones, with the same size of the display the ELUGA has nearly no frame, but an even better resolution. With a display area ratio of 68%, it offers the largest display area ratio in the market.

Approved by IP57 certificate
The IP Code is an international standard to mark protection categories. IP57 means that the ELUGA is water and dust proof. It had been tested being immersed into water to a depth of up to 1,5m for 30 minutes – without taking any damage. More than enough to protect you against accidental splashes.

NFC Chipset
Panasonic integrates the latest technology inside ELUGA. NFC will change your world. Unlock your phone, start applications, change your style or profile in seconds with Panasonic NFC Tags or Cards.

Ultra Slim, Ultra Light
Panasonic takes slim to a higher level. With its curve-edge shape the ELUGA forms a new Smartphone format, which will fit to your fingers in a nice way and suit your pocket seamlessly. Its intelligent control concept makes it easy to control everything with one hand. Smart has never been so slim! Available in classic black and silver.

Absolutely Stunning Picture Quality
With Panasonic’s ELUGA you can view your world in quality high-definition (qHD). Its 4.3 inch capacitive OLED qHD screen with a slender 123x62x7,8mm frame offers a resolution of 960x540px and the largest display area ratio in the market. Making the pixel density so high that you’ll be unable to pick out an individual pixel. The ELUGA offers truly vivid colours, enhanced readability and outstanding sharpness as standard.

ELUGA is water- and dustproof
Smartphones are cutting edge technology, but once a phone is dunked underwater it’s destroyed. Wouldn’t it be nice not to worry about your mobile device, should it take a tumble into the sink? With Panasonic’s ELUGA you no longer need to fear water or dust. Its waterproof technology makes it ready for outdoor activities, retaining a metropolitan design.

Future ready through Near Field Communication
The Panasonic ELUGA with NFC Applications makes your life easier. Share contacts, links, pictures, directions or apps with other NFC-enabled Android phones. Start your workflow with just one touch of your IC Tag Card. The open standard NFC makes the ELUGA future ready – enabling you to take advantage of contactless infrastructure in public transportation, mobile money and ticketing applications.

Eco Mode
ELUGA’s Eco Mode helps you to save energy and to achieve a longer battery life. If the power of your battery falls below a defined amount, ELUGA automatically turns off certain functionalities and changes setting. In this way the phone uses less battery power. For example, the function reduces the display time out, terminates background applications that aren’t used, and limits the processors consumption because the usage is limited on normal apps. Get the most out of your phone – in every situation.

Panasonic DMC-GH2

Overview

The high speed Live MOS Sensor realizes burst shooting in 16.05-megapixel full resolution at 5 fps with mechanical shutter and even 40 fps in 4-megapixel recording mode. The DMC-GH2 also features fast, accurate Light Speed AF. The DMC-GH2 employs an 18.31 mega total pixel sensor. Using only about a 16.05-megapixel area of sensor makes it possible to give three aspect ratios – 16:9, 3:2, and 4:3 – the same angle of view. The image processing LSI, Venus Engine FHD assures high picture quality in both photo and movie recording.
The DMC-GH2 can record high-resolution full-HD 1,920 x 1,080 50i movies in AVCHD format. Sensor output is 50p. High quality sound can be recorded with Dolby Digital Stereo Creator. In addition, the DMC-GH2 has a wide range of movie modes including Manual Movie Mode, 24P Cinema Mode with 23Mbps, Variable Movie Mode and iA Mode. When the DMC-GH2 is connected to a VIERA via an optional mini HDMI cable, the TV’s remote control unit can be used to enjoy playing back with greater convenience.
The DMC-GH2 adopts touch-control shooting. While shooting, AF can be set at the desired part of the frame with just a touch. You can also operate the AF and shutter release at the same time. While playing back, you can quickly select an image to view by scrolling images. The 3.0-inch 460,000-dot free-angle LCD with a touch-screen operation makes both monitoring and touching at any physical position. In addition, the Double Live-View function offered by the free-angle LCD and 1,533,600-dot Multi Aspect Wide Screen LVF (Live View Finder).
The My Color Mode and Film Mode featuring new Cinema Mode make it easy to customise colour effects to match your preference. In still image recording, the Peripheral Defocus Mode automatically adjusts the focus to match the AF area you positioned while gently defocusing the foreground and background to emphasize the subject. In movie recording, Variable Movie Mode records movie in slow or quick. When the LUMIX G 12.5mm / F12 is attached, the DMC-GH2 can shoot 3D images. To view the recorded images, simply connect the DMC-GH2 to 3D VIERA televisions.
The iA Mode, featuring Intelligent D-Range Control and advanced Intelligent Resolution technology, serves as a combination of functions that makes it easy for anyone to get beautiful photos and movies. With the advanced Intelligent Resolution technology, 3 areas – outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation areas – are detected. Apart from the uniform enhancement of sharpness, this technology precisely performs signal processing pixel by pixel in most effective way according to the area. As a result, images are clear and crisp.

Panasonic HC-V700

Overview

Full HD Camcorder HC-V700 – Stunning Image Quality with Newly Developed High Sensitivity Sensor, 28mm Wide-Angle and Intelligent 46x Zoom
’s newly developed High Sensitivity Sensor portrays brightly lit scenes beautifully, and also captures dimly lit scenes with crisp, bright images and minimal noise. It produces stunning images in all kinds of situations, such as shooting indoors and at night. Because the pixels of this sensor are densely aligned, Intelligent Resolution Technology can be used when the Intelligent 46x Zoom exceeds the optical 21x zoom level, while maintaining the HD pixel count for high-powered zoom shots with incredible beauty.
The HC-V700 feature a 28mm wide-angle setting and ultra-telephoto Intelligent 46x Zoom. The 28mm wide-angle is especially convenient for recording indoors or in tight spaces. It makes it possible to shoot at a close distance from the subject while fitting both the subject and the surrounding area into the frame. The Intelligent Zoom incorporates the Image Processing LSI “Crystal Engine PRO”, a super-high resolution technology to achieve ultra-telephoto 46x shooting beyond the optical zoom range of 21x.  35mm camera equivalent.
HYBRID O.I.S. + uses five-axis correction to thoroughly suppress blurring all the way from wide-angle shots to powerful zoom shots. It also achieves superb effects when shooting while walking. This lets the user capture crisp, clear images, without blurring, in almost every shooting situation. This revolutionary five-axis correction function corrects the kind of roll direction hand-shake that often occurs when shooting while walking, in addition to horizontal, vertical, yawing, and pitching four-axis correction.
3D images can be taken with the HC-V700 by simply mounting a 3D Conversion Lens. Even scenes that have already been watched several times take on a fresh new excitement with the lifelike depth, texture and leaping effects of 3D. And even without mounting the 3D Conversion Lens, images shot in 2D can be converted to 3D by the image processing of the new 2D to 3D Conversion Function for viewing on a TV.  The optional set of VW-CLT2 3D Conversion Lens and Step-up Ring are required for shooting 3D images.
1080/50p recording (Full-HD 1920 x 1080, 50 progressive recording) at a 28-Mbps bit rate conveys about twice the information of 1080i (interlace) recording to produce ultimately beautiful image quality. It minimizes afterimages and flickering caused by subject motion, and renders crisp, detailed images with smooth-looking motion even when shooting a fast-moving subject in a sports event. The progressive recording fully complies with the new AVCHD Progressive standard.
