Panasonic LUMIX FP3 Digital Camera, Complete with Folded Optics
Design, Features 3.0" Touch-Screen LCD and Ultra-Slim Profile for
Easy Carry LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Panasonic
today announces new LUMIX digital cameras for the 2010 line with
the additions to the ultra-slim FP-Series, the LUMIX DMC-FP3 and
FP1. Both FP-Series models have a 4x optical zoom with a folded
optics design so the front has a flat and stylish design, featuring
a newly-adopted lens cover that protects the lens, and also serves
as the camera's power switch. The Panasonic LUMIX FP3 also features
an intuitive 3.0" touch-screen LCD for an easy-to-use operation
combined with buttons. The LUMIX FP3 (14.1-megapixel) features a
3.0" touch-screen LCD, while the LUMIX FP1 has 12.1-megapixels and
a 2.7" 230,000-dot LCD. The newly adopted, 3.0-inch touch screen
LCD on the LUMIX FP3 provides an intuitive control thanks to a
hybrid operation combined with the four major operation buttons.
The touch-screen operation is fluid and smooth - whether in record
or playback mode. While recording, once the frame is composed,
users can simply touch the area they want focused before pressing
the shutter button. In playback mode, users can drag the image
across the screen with their finger to browse the collection of
photos, as though it is a page in a book. Both models include
Intelligent LCD, which detects the lighting condition and controls
the brightness level of the LCD in 11 fine steps, to offer a
display with the most appropriate clarity in any situation.
"Panasonic's new LUMIX FP-Series models are designed to be sleek in
appearance and easy-to-use, perfect for a user who is concerned
with the look and style of their digital camera, but does not want
to compromise performance," said David Briganti, Senior Product
Manager, Imaging, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. "Starting
with how the camera is turned on - simply by sliding the lens
cover, the FP-Series is innovative and uniquely designed. Add our
Intelligent Auto Mode, making it easy for consumers to take High
Definition-quality photos, plus an intuitive touch-screen, and we
are confident the LUMIX FP3 will be a standout this year."
Panasonic's popular iA (intelligent auto) mode, a suite of
technologies that engage automatically - no setting changes needed
by the user - makes it easy for anyone to take beautiful photos.
The LUMIX FP3 and FP1 include iA with the following technologies:
MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization) to help reduce blurry
photos due to hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control to help reduce
blur when the subject is moving; Face Detection to ensure
registered faces are captured in focus with appropriate exposure
and unwanted red eyes are digitally corrected; and Intelligent
Scene Selector which automatically selects the best option from six
popular Scene modes: Macro, Portrait, Scenery, Night Portrait,
Night Scenery and newly added Sunset. To make it even easier, the
new FP-Series models feature the dedicated iA button, which lets
the user engage iA easily with a click of the button. New to the
FP-Series is High Definition (HD) video recording capability at
1280 x 720p at a smooth 30 fps, in addition to WVGA (848 x 480) and
normal VGA (640 x 480). The FP-Series models are compatible with
Windows® 7*. Also, the new FP-Series models include the Venus
Engine IV processing engine, which supports a fast response time.
The shutter release time lag is approximately 0.006 second for FP3
and 0.007 second for the FP1. With fast shutter speeds, the
Panasonic FP-Series makes it easy to capture sudden,
spur-of-the-moment photo opportunities. Both LUMIX FP-models also
have a start-up time of approximately 0.97 second. Other features
of the Panasonic LUMIX FP3 and FP1 include: -- Quick Setting -
Allows the users' most frequently-used settings, such as O.I.S.,
consecutive shooting, Auto Focus Point, White Balance - to be
easily accessed through the "Quick Menu" button. There's no need to
open several menu screens to adjust them - the user simply selects
convenient icons displayed on the menu. -- Scene Modes: Variety of
options, such as Baby, Pet and Sports - lets the user set in this
Mode and the camera does the rest. Users can also record the
name/birthday of a child or pet and embed the information in the
photo and have it printed if desired. -- Photo Frame: Put
attractive borders around the photo and when printed, the photos
look like postcards in picture frames. -- My Scene - Lets the user
customize specific Scene modes that they like best, so they can
quickly and conveniently switch instantly to the mode. -- Macro
Zoom - Pulls subjects even closer by using 3x digital zoom, and
captures even more dramatic close-ups. -- SDXC Computability -
Compatible with SDXC Memory Cards, including Panasonic's newly
announced 64 GB** and 48 GB SDXC Memory Cards - to enable high
capacity content storage and fast data transfer speeds. -- Battery
Life - Can take up to 300 images on a single battery charge***.
