LUMIX Camera Technology

Say goodbye to complicated settings! The new LUMIX models prevent blurry, out-of-focus pictures with single-touch ease. In addition they also select the optimal shooting mode allowing you to have more fun composing great pictures and leaves the hard bit to the camera. Panasonic has cleverly combined four of its cutting edge camera technologies in Intelligent Auto mode, which means you'll never make a mistake and take superb photos - anytime, anywhere!

Panasonic's unique Intelligent Auto Mode introduces a new concept in simplicity to photography. In this mode, the camera automatically selects the most appropriate settings according to the situation. It works in conjunction with our intelligent technologies - MEGA O.I.S, Intelligent ISO Control, Face Detection and Scene Selector. It means that the camera does all the hard work leaving you to concentrate on composing that perfect shot.

It is virtually impossible, when holding the camera by hand, to capture clear photos using a single-lens reflex 35mm camera with a telephoto lens. Hand-Shake (the natural movement of hands at rest) is by far the biggest single cause of blurry shots. All LUMIX digital cameras help solve this problem with an advanced optical image stabilizing system called MEGA O.I.S. Football players across the pitch, a child on a school stage, a bird high in a tree - LUMIX brings all these within reach. And because you don't need a tripod, you're always ready when a sudden photo opportunity arises.

This smart new system helps the camera to recognise a human face and adjusts AF/AE accordingly. It allows portrait photos to be taken effortlessly. Up to 15 human faces can be recognised simultaneously and courtesy of the Face Tracking tool, automatically re-adjusts the settings if any of the subjects' positions change, which is perfect for group shots.

In low light conditions or when using a slow shutter speed, shaky hands are not the only potential challenge you may face. There is also "Motion Blur", a result that can occur when your subject moves, especially in low-lighting conditions. Our LUMIX models feature an Intelligent ISO mode that uses a sensor to detect movement within the frame. The intelligent ISO mode helps you to achieve blur-free shots by automatically adjusting the ISO sensitivity in accordance with the movement of the subject.
