Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX10 News Release Summary:
Panasonic's DMC-FX10 Simply Superb: Beautiful Image
Rendering and 3x Optical Zoom
Panasonic's new DMC-FX10 digital still camera
offer a wealth of features disproportionate to their ultra slim
and stylish size. Featuring a superb optical 3x zoom (35-105mm,
on a 35mm film camera equivalent) Leica DC lens with f/2.8
brightness, Panasonic's ingenious anti blur systems - MEGA O.I.S
and Intelligent ISO control - you have to look twice to believe
these really are Panasonic's entry level stylish compact models.
The 7.2 megapixel DMC-FX10 features a
bright f/2.8 LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens with 3x optical zoom.
The high quality Leica DC lens carries on the proud tradition of
its famous Leica brand, the German camera maker renowned for
lenses that combine superb performance with compact size.
Comprising seven elements in six groups, including three lenses
with three aspherical surfaces, this advanced lens unit matches
Leica?s stringent standards and delivers an exceptional optical
performance.
The zoom ratio can be extended up to 4.5x (4.1x for the FX10) in
3 megapixel resolution mode with minimal deterioration thanks to
the Extra Optical Zoom. By using the central part of the CCD,
this powerful zooming function allows you to easily capture and
magnify distant subjects.
Keeps your shots steady, even if you're not
Jitter from handshake is far and away the biggest single cause
of blurry shots. Lumix cameras help solve this problems with an
advanced optical image stabilising system Panasonic's ingenious
MEGA Optical Image Stabiliser (OIS). This system uses built-in
gyrosensors to detect even tiny camera movement and then shifts
a lens in the opposite direction to compensate, giving you
sharp, clear images without deterioration.
Detects movement, prevents blurring
While hand-shake is the single biggest cause of blurry images,
it is not the only one. Another problem is the motion blur that
can occur when a subject moves as the shot is being taken,
particularly common when taking pictures of sports or young
children for example. In these conditions Intelligent ISO
Control comes into its own. This system actually detects whether
the subject is moving and, as necessary raises the ISO setting
and shutter speed according to how fast the subject is moving
and the light conditions. This happens automatically, so you can
effortlessly shoot without the need to adjust the settings every
time the conditions change.
Panasonic Lumix now offers solutions for both major causes of
blurred images - O.I.S when you are moving, and Intelligent ISO
Control when the subject is moving. Thanks to Panasonic, you can
now take clear and beautiful images in even the trickiest
situations.
Lightning speed, superb performance
The DMC-FX10 features the Venus Engine III, Panasonic?s advanced image-processing engine that can record at
a sensitivity setting as a high as ISO 1250 at full resolution.
This engine features the type of technology you expect to find
in a higher end camera, providing an exceptional level of
functionality for cameras in this class.
Passionate about pictures
Boasting an impressive 2.5inch large LCD monitor for comfortable
viewing both while monitoring shots and playing back the
results, these new additions to the Lumix range are designed
with flexibility in mind. Panasonic is the first manufacturer to
offer the High Angle function on a digital still camera LCD.
This new mode makes the FX12 and FX10's LCD display extremely
easy to view from below, for example, when holding the camera up
high to take pictures over a crowd. The difficulties faced when
shooting in bright outdoors situations are also overcome by the
Power LCD function, which boosts the backlighting of the LCD by
40%. The DMC-FX10 is also perfect for underwater
photography, for use with the Marine case (available
separately), thanks to the new 'underwater' mode.
The slim and stylish new additions features approximately 27MB
of built-in memory, which can save the day should you happen to
fill up or forget your memory card. They also accept
large-capacity SDHC memory cards, giving more flexibility in
shooting and recording.
With such a wealth of innovation included in the well-designed
and compact casing, the DMC-FX12 offers superb
performance and impressive quality. The new models will be
available from March 2007.
