5. Clear, bright, wide VGA motion image recording for viewing on wide screen
TV
In addition to standard VGA (640x480) at 30 fps motion image recording, the
DMC-FX50/FX07 cameras can also record stunning full-size movies in wide-aspect
VGA (848x480) at 30 fps. Shooting is one thing but viewing is another, and users will
be suitably impressed by the 16:9 moving image when it is displayed on a wide
screen TV. The brightness level of these motion images is also enhanced as a result
of the pixel mixed readout method performed by the CCD.
An exceptional function is that it is possible to select and display as thumbnails
9 sequential frames from a motion image, which would be helpful to see the how you
swing a racket or golf club.
6. Unimpeded, high speed AF
The various AF mode can be selected according to the shooting environment
and the position of the subject: 9-point, 3-point high speed, 1-point high-speed, 1-
point normal-speed and spot. In the 1-point normal speed AF, the AF time is reduced
by one third of the time compared to the predecessor, to provide a quick and smooth
AF without screen-freeze. The inclusion of an AF assist lamp provides further
assistance in low light situations when focusing is difficult. The result is stress free
photography with never a moment missed.
7. A Variety of Scene Modes and Other Features to Enrich Your Photography
An even greater variety of scene modes are included: seventeen scene modes
for FX50 and eighteen for FX07 to assist the user in a wide range of photographic
situations. The newly incorporated "Beach" mode is perfect for shooting in strong
sunlight and the "Aerial" mode assists with shooting through the windows of an
aeroplane. "High Sensitivity**" mode, made possible by the pixel-mixed readout
method by the CCD, is ideal for shooting moving subjects clearly without blurring at a
sensitivity as high as ISO 3200.
On the other hand, in the "Simple" mode, almost all adjustments can be
automatically set even including the backlight compensation, allowing even entry-
level users to take beautiful images easily.
An additional improvement is the addition of a print mode onto the mode dial for
the FX50 so that users can make prints by just connecting the camera to the
Pictbridge-corresponding printer via an included USB cable. Of course users can get
plural prints of a image or print only those they have selected as favourites.
The FX07 is compatible with a marine case*** with which users can shoot
underwater while scuba diving etc.
Both DMC-FX50/FX07 cameras include "World Time Setting", which was
featured on other recently released LUMIX models and much appreciated, allowing
users to set the time and date of 74 locations across the world._
