Panasonic Unveiled Interchangeable Camera Lens
Panasonic makes an interchangeable photographic camera lens as bringing 3D still images and brought out a consumer camcorder able to record 3D video. The consumer camcorder electronics company introduced the lens system on Tuesday, telling it would work on with choice models of the company’s Lumix camera line. Well-matched models will be announced ahead the closing of the year, by the release date of new lens.
The lens is actually comprised of two small lenses that transmit slightly different viewpoints of a subject to the camera’s image sensor. The resulting picture gives the illusion of depth and appears to be in three dimensions.
Because the 3D lens is interchangeable, photographers have the option of using a standard 2D lens with the camera. But Panasonic, and other major consumer electronics makers, such as Sony and Samsung, sees 3D as the future.
Panasonic is hoping that people buying its 3D-capable Viera televisions and Blu-ray disc players will also want to create their own 3D content. Global shipments of 3D TVs will total only 4.2 million units this year, compared to 27.7 million shipments of Internet-enabled TVs, iSuppli predicted in a report released Wednesday. The market researcher expects IETVs to be “the biggest near-term growth story,” with 3D television sales picking up steam in the coming years.
