Features of Panasonic DMC FX48
Advanced iA (Intelligent Auto)
Mode with Face Recognition
In iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode, 6 detection functions work
automatically and simultaneously to optimize your settings. iA Mode
includes MEGA O.I.S., Intelligent ISO Control, Intelligent Scene
Selector, Face Recognition, Intelligent Exposure and AF Tracking.
The new Face Recognition function memorizes faces automatically and
works to optimize both focus and exposure settings by prioritizing
on the registered person’s faces.
25mm Ultra Wide-angle 5x Optical
Zoom LEICA DC Lens and 1/2.33-inch 12.1-megapixel High-resolution
CCD
The 12.1-megapixel high-resolution DMC-FX48 features a 25mm
wide-angle 5x optical zoom f/2.8-5.9 LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens
(35mm film camera equivalent: 25-125mm). The 25mm wide-angle lens
has about twice the shooting area of the standard 35mm lens allowing
you to capture breathtaking landscapes. Despite the ultra wide
angle, DMC-FX48 features a 5x optical zoom, letting you capture
distant subjects without degrading imaging quality.
HD Motion Pictures and HD Output
The DMC-FX48 can record motion pictures in high-definition (1,280 x
720 pixels at 30 fps in Motion JPEG format). The pixel mixed readout
method enables bright motion-picture recording even in low-light
settings. When viewing, these high-resolution 16:9 motion pictures
will provide a remarkable effect on large-screen HDTV. With HD
component output capability, you can enjoy watching still and motion
pictures in stunning HD quality taken by your DMC-FX48 by simply
connecting the camera to an HDTV via an optional component cable
DMW-HDC2.

Venus Engine V
The advanced image-processing engine, Venus Engine V with its dual
CPU processors, enables the camera to identify and recognize faces
in your scenes with high accuracy and speed. Its advanced signal
processing gives beautiful images even at high ISO sensitivities.
Venus Engine V has low power consumption, being 15% more efficient
than its predecessor.
High-resolution Intelligent LCD
with Wide-viewing Angle
The DMC-FX48's 2.5-inch LCD features a high 230,000-dot resolution,
and a wide-viewing angle that lets you frame your shot in a variety
of ways for both shooting and viewing. LUMIX's acclaimed Intelligent
LCD function also automatically adjusts the brightness in 11 steps
according to shooting conditions. This LCD provides sharp, clear
images in virtually all shooting situations, ranging from nighttime
to bright daylight scenes and from low-angle to high-angle shooting.
And it lets you share the fun of viewing images with family and
friends.
