You can drag the image through the screen which has a finger to look into the variety of photos as you may flip over the pages on the book. Sonic Speed AF
The Sonic Speed AF system on the DMC FP3 incorporates a maximum speed of approx. 0.33 second for auto focusing^*. It includes numerous re engineering enhancements, including a higher speed actuator, optimized algorithms and parallel software processing. The exact result is fast and accurate AF performance. You can quickly get moving subjects in focus, similar to when you're shooting sports scenes.

HD Movie Recording
The DMC FP3 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 there is low light settings. The DMC FP3 may be able to 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).


4x Optical Zoom / Approximately 8.4x Extra Optical Zoom
The DMC FP3 gives you a 4x optical contact lens (35mm camera equivalent: 35 140mm). The actual Optical Zoom function^*1 uses the guts portion of the CCD grant this 4x zoom ratio to powerful 8.4x zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 295mm) from a resolution of 3 megapixel or less. Adding the Optical Zoom to 4x digital zoom^*2 extends the complete zooming chance to only 33.8x.

*2 As digital magnification increases, resolution significantly decreases.} Venus Engine IV
The image processing engine, Venus Engine IV, uses advanced signal processing to present you beautiful images no matter if the sensitivity is high. Multi task signal processing must be used for everyone images make it possible for high speed, high performance shooting. Venus Engine IV also effectively raises the precision of functions, just like MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) and Intelligent ISO Control. As well as its extremely powerful, Venus Engine IV reduces power consumption due to quite a few energy efficiency improvements. Extended Battery Life
The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine along with the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery which has been slimmed right down to compliment thinner camera bodies interact grant the shooting time of this DMC FP3. This lets users take approx. 300 shots using one battery charge*.
