Furthermore, the Panasonic LUMIX FH7 encompasses Panasonic's
Venus Engine VI image processor, which automatically detects
outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation that results in
naturally clear images. The multitasking Venus Engine VI also
supports a super-fast response time. The shutter release time lag
is incredibly quick, at approximately 0.006 second and its quick
response makes it easier to capture sudden, spur-of-the-moment
photo opportunities. For more information on all Panasonic's
