Panasonic Lumix DMC FS40 Digital Camera in Blue

With its extra brigh f2.8 Leica lens and 14 megapixel resolution plus optical image stabilisation, the Panasonic FS40 excels in producing detailed images in low light.5x Wide Angle Leica ZoomThe 5x zoom lens on the FS40 has an extra bright maximum aperture of f2.5 which is even 25% brighter than the already superior f2.8. It is a Leica DC Vario Summarit design with Leica being synonymous with the best optical quality. At the wide angle end of the zoom it includes the equivalent of 24mm focal length, allowing for wider angles to be captured in the frame than on many other digital cameras. The 5x zoom range can also be doubled using Intelligent Zoom which utilises Intelligent Resolution Technology. This means that you get a 10x zoom range with effectively very little falloff of image quality.14.1 MegapixelsThe CCD sensor in this camera has 14.1 effective megapixels, giving you the freedom to make extra large prints, still with sharp image quality.HD MoviesThe FS40 records movies in 720p HD quality using the Motion JPEG format. You can easily upload movie footage to FacebookTM and YouTubeTM with the supplied LUMIX Image Uploader software.MEGA O.I.S.Image stabilisation is achieved by physically adjusting internal lens positions microscopically. This combats camera shake with no falloff of image resolution. It is a great feature in combination with the f2.8 lens, opening up whole areas of opportunity for pictures in low light where other cameras just would not cope.Intelligent AutoThe Intelligent Auto, or iA mode uses a combination of several technologies to automatically set the camera without you having to worry. These are MEGA O.I.S., Intelligent ISO control sensitivity, Face Detection AFAE, Intelligent Scene Selector and Intelligent Exposure.Additional FeaturesBeauty RetouchAuto Panorama horizontal or verticalAuto RetouchSonic Speed AF for extra fast focusing
