The Lumix 7.2-megapixel DMCFX07S has a lot of new exciting features. There is an f/2.8 LEICA DC lens with 3.6x optical zoom which lets users control the wide angles while shooting indoor or outdoor portraits, landscapes, parties or buildings. It has an Intelligent ISO Control to make up for blurriness caused by subject movement. Because of the environmental factors Lumix has also come up with an exclusive MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) technology which reduces blurry photos caused by shaky hands. The DMCFX07S has multiple scene modes to make it more convenient when shooting during the night, day, different lighting conditions and any type of environment where you want to take that perfect picture. This camera makes photography fun and its neat design will make you the most stylish digital camera owner around.

Panasonic DMCFX07S Lumix Digital Camera Features
Wide Angle 3.6x Optical Zoom Leica DC Lens
The DMC-FX07 camera has a 28mm wide angle 3.6x optical zoom Leica DC Vario-Elmarit Lens, and thanks to the incorporation of an EA (Extra High Refractive Index Aspherical) lens element, the camera still maintains a slim design. This wide angle lens enables easy capture of large indoor group subjects or expansive architectural structures and sceneries with dynamic width and a rich perspective. The zoom ratio can be extended up to 5.5x in 3-megapixel resolution mode thanks to the Extra Optical Zoom function which gives extra magnification (and minimal image deterioration) by intentionally using the centre part of the CCD.
MEGA O.I.S. with Intelligent ISO Control
The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) system compensates for handshake - the major cause of blurred images. Every slight hand-shake movement is detected accurately with the sampling frequency at 4,000 times per second and is compensated to render clear, sharp images. In addition, movement of the subject, the other major cause of blurred images, is suppressed by Intelligent ISO Control (I.I.C.) and available ISO1250 high sensitivity recording capabilities. The incorporation of I.I.C. allows the automatic adjustment of the ISO setting and shutter speed that best suits the situation by analyzing the speed of subject movement. If the subject is moving, the ISO setting would automatically rise to allow a higher shutter speed. On the other hand, if the subject is still and no movement is detected, you can take beautiful natural images with a low ISO setting.
High Picture Quality & Quick Response
The DMC- FX07 camera utilizes the Venus Engine III Image Processing LSI to realize high sensitivity recording. The noise reduction system is greatly improved by removing noise at the processing stages in series. First, critical noise is roughly undraped and the chromatic noise and the luminance noise are separated to respectively go through the supplemental noise reduction process so that the remaining noise is appropriately minimized. Furthermore With its multi-task image processing capability, the Venus Engine III also boasts outstanding response time with a shutter release time lag of as short as 0.005 seconds and a shutter interval of 0.5 seconds. Together with the fast startup time of approx. 1.3 seconds, the quick response of DMC-FX07 enables easy capture of those spur-of-the-moment shots. Another benefit of the energy-efficient Venus Engine III is long battery life - sufficient to shoot approximately 320 pictures (CIPA Standard) on a single charge.
Advanced 2.5" LCD for Easy Shooting and Playback
With a 2.5-inch 207k pixels high resolution LCD, the FX07 makes it easy to frame your shots and share your images with family and friends. The pixel-mixed readout method performed by the CCD automatically increases the brightness level of the live image on the LCD, which greatly facilitates shooting in low light situations, and the Power LCD function boosts the backlighting of the LCD by up to 40%, so shooting in bright outdoors situations is no longer a problem. In addition, the High Angle mode makes the display extremely easy to view from low angles, for example, when holding the camera up high to take pictures over a crowd.
VGA and Widescreen Motion Image Recording In addition to standard VGA (640x480 @ 30 fps) motion image recording, the DMC-FX07 cameras can also record stunning full-size movies in wide-aspect VGA (848x480 @ 30 fps). Users will be suitably impressed by the 16:9 moving image when it is displayed on a wide screen TV, and the brightness level of these motion images is also enhanced as a result of the pixel mixed readout method performed by the CCD. Additionally, it is possible to select and display as thumbnails 9 sequential frames from a motion image, which can be helpful in analyzing how one swings a racket or golf club.
Unimpeded, High-speed AF
The various AF modes available in the DMC- FX07 can be selected according to the shooting environment and the position of the subject: 9-point, 3-point high speed, 1-point high-speed, 1-point normal-speed and spot, to provide a quick and smooth AF without screen-freeze. The inclusion of an AF assist lamp provides further assistance in low light situations when focusing is difficult. The result is stress free photography with never a moment missed.
Scene Modes and Other Features to Enrich Your Photography
With eighteen Scene Modes, the DMC-FX07 can assist the user in a wide range of photographic situations. Fr Example, the "Beach" mode is perfect for shooting in strong sunlight and the "Aerial" mode assists with shooting through the windows of an airplane. Furthermore, the "High Sensitivity" mode, made possible by the pixel-mixed readout method by the CCD, is ideal for shooting moving subjects clearly without blurring by providing sensitivity as high as ISO3200. On the other hand, in the "Simple" mode, almost all adjustments are automatically set by the camera processor, even including the backlight compensation, allowing even entry-level users to take beautiful images easily.
