28mm wide-angle LEICA DC lens, 8.1 Megapixel CCD, 3.6x Optical Zoom plus Optical Image Stabiliser and Face Detection
With it's remarkably compact size, the DMC-FX55 features a wealth of technological features, including a 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC lens, optical image stabiliser, face detection and intelligent scene selection to name but a few. Continuing to push the boundaries, the FX55 goes one step further to include Intelligent Auto mode - a feature unique to Panasonic Lumix cameras. Technology rich yet remaining inherently easy to use - the best photographs are taken with a Lumix camera.
The bigger picture with the LEICA DC wide angle lens
With the DMC-FX55, Panasonic has packaged a 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens with f/2.8 brightness and a 3.6x optical zoom (equivalent to 28-100mm on a 35mm film camera) plus an 8.1 megapixel CCD into a body that is slim, stylish and conveniently compact
Comprising seven elements in six groups, including five aspherical lenses with six aspherical surfaces, this advanced lens unit passes Leica's stringent standards and delivers an exceptional optical performance. The zoom ratio can be extended up to 5.7x in 3-megapixel resolution mode with minimal deterioration thanks to the Extra Optical Zoom. By using the central part of the CCD, this powerful zooming function allows you to easily capture and magnify distant subjects.
Intelligent Auto Mode (IA) - the camera does the hard work so you don't have to!
For more simple and more intelligent operation than ever, Lumix is offering the ideal automatic shooting. Building on the success of Simple Mode and I.ISO Mode, Panasonic's unique Intelligent Auto Mode is newly incorporated and introduces a new concept to photography - the ultimate auto mode. With Intelligent Auto Mode, the camera automatically selects the most appropriate setting according to the situation without any user interface. Designed for ease of use, simply select Intelligent Auto mode from the dial and the camera will automatically detect motion (Intelligent ISO), shake (MEGA O.I.S), face (Face Detection) and scene (Intelligent Scene Selector) and select the settings accordingly. These multi-capable functions happen automatically, so you can shoot without the bother of adjusting settings every time conditions change. Lumix and its powerful Intelligent Auto Mode do all the work for you. Now anyone at any technical level of photography can take beautiful pictures with ease
