Featuring five aspherical lenses with six aspherical surfaces including an extra-high refractive index aspherical lens, this system features a 28mm wide-angle lens with a 3.6x optical zoom that's compact enough to fit in a camera with a super-slim 22mm profile. And Panasonic added the Extended Optical Zoom feature, which boosts zoom power to as high as 5.3x.The FX30 features MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization), which automatically detects and compensates for handshake. You get clear, beautiful shots even when shooting in dim lighting, shooting macro close-ups, or taking self-portraits.With its 2.5" diagonal size and 207,000 pixels, this high-resolution LCD monitor makes it easy to see text and small thumbnail images. The pixel-mixed readout method performed by the CCD increases the brightness level of the live image on the LCD, which greatly facilitates shooting in low lighting. If it's difficult to see the display on a sunny day, simply press the Power LCD button and the display becomes about 40 percent brighter
The Panasonic DMC-FX30 combines 7.2-megapixel image recording with a superb, newly developed 28mm wide-angle Leica DC lens that features a 3.6x optical zoom(equivalent to 28-100mm on a 35mm film camera) and f/2.8 brightness. Dramatic downsizing by Panasonic makes the FX30 even slimmer and more compact than its predecessor, the FX07, while the Intelligent Image Stabilization system -- which combines Mega O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) with Intelligent ISO Control -- takes blur prevention to new heights. To further enhance usability, the FX30 also includes the new Quick Setting function, which lets you quickly and easily access and set the functions used most often.
