Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 Digital Camera

The Premium Stylish Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 is a new 14.7 megapixel model to its Lumix FX Series with stylish, high-quality bodies and high-end specifications. Boasting astonishing 14.7 megapixel resolution, the Panasonic FX150 meets the needs of a wide range of consumers looking for an attractive compact camera that makes it easy to take clear, sharp, expressive photos with outstanding detail.

Equipped with a 28mm wide-angle lens, the* FX150 lets users capture images of expansive scenery just as they appear to the naked eye. The wide-angle lens allows the user to capture a much wider scene into one shot – something not possible with most ordinary cameras. And when shooting in tight or crowded indoor spaces, the wide-angle lens fits more people in the photo. The 14.7 megapixels – the most offered in a compact camera – ensure that photos are crisp, clear and sharply detailed even when enlarged. This high resolution also means you can crop unwanted parts of an image and enlarge the rest, creating a beautifully composed photo that retains outstanding detail.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 Features:

• Large 1/1.72-inch 14.7 megapixels CCD
• 28mm Wide Angle f/2.8 LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT Lens with 3.6x Optical Zoom
• Intelligent Auto Mode with AF Tracking
• Simple Manual Operation
• Venus Engine IV up to ISO1600 at Full Resolution
• 2.7-inch (230,000-dot) Intelligent LCD with Wide Viewing Angle

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 features a 1/1.72-inch CCD with ultra-high, 14.7-megapixel resolution. It ushers in a new world of photographic quality by capturing high-resolution, distortion-free images with the 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens, and sending that rich image information to its large, ultra-high-pixel CCD.

The DMC-FX150 features the f/2.8 LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens. Advanced optical technology accurately delivers the light received by this 28mm wide-angle lens to the large 1/1.72-inch CCD with 14.7-megapixel resolution. The lens unit, which comprises seven elements in six groups, including an EA lens and four lenses with five aspherical surfaces, is designed and manufactured to LEICA’s stringent standards. This advanced lens design ensures that the images sent to the CCD are high in resolution, low in distortion, and clear from corner to corner.

The iA (Intelligent Auto) mode includes MEGA O.I.S. to detect hand-shake, Intelligent ISO Control to detect subject movement, Face Detection to detect faces in the frame, Intelligent Scene Selector to detect scene conditions, Light Detection to detect the brightness level and - new to the DMC-FX150 - AF Tracking to continually track a moving subject and keep it in focus. These six functions work automatically and simultaneously in iA Mode to optimize your settings, making it easier than ever to take beautiful photos every time.

The DMC-FX150 has a Simple Manual mode to allow users to change aperture and shutter-speed setting for taking specific shots. You can expand creative horizons with this feature.The joystick can be easily operated by the thumb while holding the camera to prevent any interruption to your shooting rhythm. This lets you smoothly optimize the settings at the exact moment you finish framing the shot, whether you are capturing the proud stance of a single magnificent flower, the gentle flow of a stream, or a bird taking flight.

Venus Engine IV uses advanced signal processing to give you even higher-quality images. It also offers a number of other improvements, including more accurate detection and better correction for its MEGA O.I.S. and Intelligent ISO Control functions. Venus Engine IV responds quickly and saves power even with full 10.1-megapixel resolution. Also, the engine splits noise into high and low frequency noise using Wavelet filter. Then it targets its noise reduction algorithms to attain high resolution and low noise even at high ISO sensitivities.
