Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FX100 28mm, 12.2 Mega Pixel

The World First 12.2 Mega-Pixel Compact Digital Camera equip with 28mm wide-angle

Yesterday (21 May, 07) Panasonic expanded its LUMIX family of digital cameras with the introduction of the compact LUMIX DMC-FX100, the world’s first to feature 12.2 Megapixel resolution with a 28mm wide-angle.

LUMIX DMC-FX100 equiped with 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC lens features 3.6x optical zoom, f/2.8 brightness, 1/1.72-inch large CCD and Intelligent Image Stabilization with Mega O.I.S. and Intelligent ISO Control. The LUMIX DMC-FX100 will be equipped with a 2.5-inch LCD screen, and its slim lightweight design makes it extremely portable and stylish.

Intelligent Image Stabilization, a feature across the entire 2007 LUMIX digital camera line, incorporates the industry’s most advanced countermeasures against blurring. This system comprises two features, MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization) and Intelligent ISO Control. Together the features make it easy to capture beautiful photos by compensating for the effects of hand-shake and image movement, making it possible to take clear, crisp photos anytime, in any mode.

The DMC-FX100 also introduces a more powerful flash with reach up to 16 meters, high-speed burst shooting, which allows consecutive shooting at a lightning-fast eight shots per second and a new high sensitivity mode in which ISO 6400 recording is realized.

Furthering Panasonic’s commitment to Living in High Definition the DMC-FX100 can also record 1920 x 1080 high-definition still pictures and 1280 x 720 at 15 frames per second motion pictures, both perfect for viewing on 16:9 High Definition Plasmas.

• Easy Zoom feature that shifts the lens instantly to full 3.6x zoom power. A second touch of the button activates the Extra Optical Zoom function and extends zoom all the way to 7x.
• 27 MB of built-in memory: Perfect for backing up SDHC/SD Memory Card recording.
• Added Scene Modes: New high sensitivity mode and new high speed burst shooting mode, making it easier than ever to get beautiful photos in a range of photographic situations and taking further advantage of high resolution image recording.
