Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 :: Compact Digital Cameras


DMC-FX500K
NEW! Lumix® 10.1-Megapixel Compact Digital Camera with 3.0" Diagonal Touch-Screen LCD, 25mm Wide-Angle Lens, 5x Optical Zoom, Intelligent Auto Mode and HD Output, Available Colors :: black and silver.


3.0" Touch-Screen LCD Offers Easy, Intuitive Operation
The DMC-FX500 Lumix® compact digital camera features a hybrid control system that combines joystick control with
touch-screen operation. Use the joystick for basic settings and the touch-screen for others like AF/AE, Manual Operation and Slideshow functions, which can be adjusted by touching or moving a slider on the screen with your finger or with the included stylus pen.

25mm Wide-Angle LEICA Lens with 5x Optical Zoom
With both a bright F2.8 25mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens and a 5x zoom, this is one camera that does it all. The sophisticated lens system lets you capture dramatic images that convey an impressive sense of breadth and depth — remarkable for such a compact camera. The 5x zoom is great for small or distant subjects, and there's also an Extra Optical Zoom function that boosts zoom power to 8.9x in 3-megapixel resolution mode.

Intelligent Auto Mode Helps Get Great Shots in Every Situation
Set the FX500 to iA mode and let the five Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Exposure corrects lighting differences, so images come out just the way you see them; Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings.
