| Features |
| Futuristic, Flat Body Design | | The flat body and compact size of the DMC-FP3 allow it to fit nicely into a small handbag. Built of high-quality aluminum, the DMC-FP3/FP2/FP1 also brings a wide range of colors to the series.
|
| Touch Screen Operation | | The newly adopted static sensor type 3.0-inch touch-screen LCD on the DMC-FP3 gives you an easy, intuitive control thanks to a hybrid operation combined with the 4 major operation buttons. Touch operation is free and smooth either in recording or playing back images.
|
| Folded Optics Technology | | The DMC-FP3 features a newly developed 4x optical zoom LUMIX DC VARIO lens. The folded optics of the shaft guide method is adopted to secure the toughness of the lens unit.
|
| 14.1-megapixel High-resolution CCD | | The DMC-FP3/FP2 features a 1/2.33-inch CCD with effective 14.1-megapixel high-resolution.
|
| Sonic Speed AF | | The Sonic Speed AF system in the DMC-FP3/ FP2/ FP1 has a maximum speed of approx. 0.33 second for auto focusing. The result is fast and accurate AF performance. You can quickly get moving subjects in focus, such as when you're shooting sports scenes.
|
| Fast Start-up Time | | The parallel processing of software resulted in ultra high-speed start-ups of approx. 0.96 second.
|
| Release Time Lag | | The shutter release time lag is as short as approx. 0.006 (FP3/FP2) second / 0.007 (FP1) second, making it easy to capture sudden, spur-of-the-moment photo opportunities.
|
| Venus Engine IV | | The image-processing engine, Venus Engine IV, uses advanced signal processing to give you beautiful images even when the sensitivity is high.
|
| Extended Battery Life
| |
The energy-saving Venus Engine IV image-processing engine and the efficient, rechargeable lithium-ion battery work together to extend the shooting time of the DMC-FP3/FP2/FP1. This lets users take approx. 300 shots on a single battery charge.
|
| Unlimited Consecutive Shooting | | The Unlimited Consecutive Shooting function lets you snap off consecutive shots at approx. 1.5 frames per second (FP3/FP2) / approx. 1.8 frames per second (FP1) until the memory card is full.
|
| iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode | | When you don't know which mode will give you the best shot, or when a sudden photo opportunity pops up and you don't have time to make any settings, simply choose iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode by simply pressing the dedicated button and let the camera do it all for you.
|
| Shake Detection | | The MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer in the DMC-FP3 compensates for the blurring caused by hand-shake. Even slight hand-shake movement is accurately detected by a sampling frequency of 4,000 times per second, and compensated to produce sharp, clear images.
|
| Motion Detection | | The Intelligent ISO Control function in the DMC-FP3 made possible by the Venus Engine IV, detects subject movement and automatically adjusts the ISO setting and shutter speed to best suit the movement and light conditions.
|
| Face Detection AF/AE | | The Face Detection AF/AE function detects faces and automatically optimizes the focus and exposure settings to prevent blurry faces when the camera focuses on something, and keeps faces from appearing dark when shooting indoors or against the light source.
|
| Auto Backlight Compensation
| | When there is strong backlighting, the background appears nice and bright, but the subject is dark. This function detects backlight condition and compensates it automatically.
|
| Scene Mode | | The Scene Mode lets the camera make the optimal settings for you automatically, so anybody can take superb photos with ease. The versatile Scene Mode range, which handles just about any situation and subject type, is a major LUMIX feature.
|
| Macro Zoom | | You can pull subjects even closer than the closest point possible with the wide-angle setting by using 3x digital zoom, and capture dramatic close-ups.
|
| Selectable Focus Icon | | When using 9-area AF, the camera automatically determines the most appropriate AF area from the nine points. This ensures accurate focusing even for difficult compositions.
|
| Slideshow with Music | | The DMC-FP3 can play a slideshow with music. Choose from 4 types of music: Natural, Slow, Swing and Urban. Then, select the transition effect to match your music.
|
| Text Stamp | | The Baby Mode and Pet Mode let you enter the date of birth and name of your subject in advance.
|
| Quick Menu | | Frequently used functions can be quickly retrieved and easily switched by using the Q.MENU button. The function names are displayed in text form, making them easy for anyone to understand and use.
