4. Manteniment

4.1 Dust Reduction System

The DMC-GF1 is equipped with a Supersonic Wave Filter located in front of the Live MOS sensor. This filter vibrates approximately 50,000 times per second to repel dust and other particles, helping to keep the image sensor clean and prevent spots in photos, especially when changing lenses.

4.2 Neteja de la càmera i l'objectiu

• Cos de la càmera: Netegeu el cos de la càmera amb un drap suau i sec. Per a la brutícia persistent, utilitzeu un drap lleugerament humit.ampEsbandiu amb aigua o una solució netejadora suau i després eixugueu-ho.
• Lent: Use a lens blower brush to remove dust. For smudges, use a soft lens cleaning cloth with a small amount of lens cleaning fluid. Avoid touching the lens surface with your fingers.
• Pantalla LCD: Gently wipe the LCD screen with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid applying excessive pressure.

5. Solució De Problemes

5.1 Image Noise in Low Light

When shooting in low-light conditions, especially at ISO sensitivities above 800, you may observe increased image noise (grain). To minimize this:

• Use a lens with a wider aperture (lower f-number) to allow more light into the sensor.
• Increase available lighting in the scene.
• Utilize the built-in flash when appropriate, or external lighting accessories.

5.2 Video Stabilization

The DMC-GF1 does not feature in-body image stabilization. While the kit lens includes MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), for extremely smooth video footage, especially when moving, consider using external stabilization equipment such as a gimbal or glidecam.

5.3 Problemes de connectivitat

If you experience issues connecting the camera to a computer or TV:

• Ensure cables (HDMI, USB) are securely connected to both the camera and the external device.
• Verify that the external device (TV, computer) is set to the correct input source.
• For VIERA Link Networking, ensure your Panasonic VIERA TV is compatible and properly configured.
