The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30
is the world's slimmest digital camera with a
28mm wide-angle lens. The beauty of a wide-angle
lens is that it allows you to include all your
friends in the picture, to capture a whole large
building or to reproduce a sweeping landscape
vista.
The FX30 is available in black,
silver, blue and taupe (light brown). It's fashionable and
lightweight -- perfect to take with you everywhere
you go. [The FX30 replaces the Panasonic
FX07.]
The FX30 features the MEGA O.I.S.
(Optical Image Stabilizer) system to fight against
hand-shake, the major cause of blurry images.
In addition, the FX30 compensates for the other
major cause of blurry images --subject movement
-- with the Intelligent ISO Control function which
detects subject movement and adjusts the ISO setting
and shutter speed to best suit the movement and
light conditions automatically. Together, they
form Intelligent Image Stabilizer.
Venus Engine III in the FX30 allows
high-sensitivity recording up to ISO 1250 at full
resolution with an improved noise reduction system
which maintains high resolution.
Like dates on your pictures? A new
Date Stamp feature allows you to select from Baby
and Pet mode to print the age of a child or pet
by inputting the birthdate in advance.
Battery life is approximately 280
pictures on a single charge (CIPA standard).
The FX30 is compatible with the
optional marine case DMW-MCFX30 which is safe
to a depth of 40 meters.
Want something that you can carry
anywhere? The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30
is an easy-to-use take-anywhere ultra compact
digital camera, now with wide-angle coverage so
you can include all your friends in one picture.
