The flat body and compact proportions the DMC FP1 let it fit nicely proper small handbag. Built of high quality aluminum, the DMC FP1 also brings an array of colors in the series. The modern lens cover both protects the lens from scratches or dusts and can serve as the camera's on / off switch, making it easy and fast to slip you using a pocket or perhaps bag and first start the action.

Lumix DMC FP1 Highlights

4x Optical Zoom / As much as 7.8x Extra Optical Zoom
The DMC FP1 has a 4x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 35 140mm) and 7.8x Extra Optical Zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 273mm). Adding the other Optical Zoom with the 4x digital zoom extends the complete zooming power to a maximum of 31.3x.

Sonic Speed AF
The Sonic Speed AF system with the DMC FP1 posesses a maximum speed of approx. 0.33 second for auto focusing*. It provides numerous re engineering enhancements, including a higher speed actuator, optimized algorithms and parallel software processing. What this lead to is fast and accurate AF performance. You can quickly get going subjects in focus, along the lines of when you're shooting sports scenes.

HD Movie Recording
The DMC FP1 can record motion images in high definition (1,280 x 720 pixels at 30 fps in Motion JPEG format). The pixel mixed readout method enables bright motion image recording even just in low light settings. The DMC FP1 might also record full size motion images in WVGA (848 x 480 pixels at 30 fps) or standard motion images in VGA (640 x 480 pixels at 30 fps) and QVGA (320 x 240 pixels at 30 fps).

Venus Engine IV
The image processing engine, Venus Engine IV, uses advanced signal processing to present you beautiful images even if the sensitivity is high. Multi task signal processing works for all images permit high speed, high performance shooting. Venus Engine IV also effectively raises the precision of functions, along the lines of MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) and Intelligent ISO Control. Coupled with its extremely top rated, Venus Engine IV reduces power consumption merit to several energy efficiency improvements.

Extended Battery Life
The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine and then the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery with which has been slimmed due to fit into thinner camera bodies have interaction grant the shooting time of one's DMC FP1. This lets users take approx. 300 shots using one battery charge*.
