Overview:

Little Camera Zooms In Big
Get the power of a 12x optical zoom in a 7.2-megapixel camera that fits in the palm of your hand. Telephoto shooting is made easy with features like variable zoom speed (2 levels) for detailed framing, and a function that returns the zoom to its last set position next time you turn on the camera. For times when you want even more zoom power, the Extended Optical Zoom feature extends zooming to as much as 18x in 3-megapixel resolution mode.

Remarkable Clarity with Intelligent Image Stabilization
Intelligent ISO control automatically raises the ISO and shutter speed settings when your subject is moving, so you get clear, crisp shots with minimal motion blur. You can also manually set the sensitivity to as high as ISO 1250 at full resolution.

Easy-to-Use Controls Mean Great Shots
Quick, accurate adjustments are easy with a thumb-controlled joystick. You can adjust the exposure and focus manually without ever moving your hand from the grip. And when you use manual focus, you can enlarge a part of the image to assist in focusing. You can even move the enlarged display area anywhere in the frame you wish.

Easy Focusing with a Bright, Crisp LCD and Electronic View Finder
You can even focus and check details in bright outdoor settings thanks to a high-resolution 2.5" diagonal LCD with 207,000 pixels. In addition, checking your shot is easier than ever with a 188,000-pixel 0.44" diagonal electronic viewfinder.

1. As digital magnification increases, resolution significantly decreases.
2. Number of shots may vary depending on memory card size, battery power, picture size, and compression. The consecutive shooting speed varies depending on the memory card or the built-in memory.
3. Shooting conditions: 73.4°F with 50% humidity; LCD On; Using an SD Memory Card; Starting to shoot 30 seconds after turning on the power; Shooting once every 30 seconds with the flash in full operation for every other shot; Changing the zoom setting from telephoto to wide, or wide to telephoto, for each shot; Temporarily turning the power off after each 10 shots (long enough to lower the battery temperature. For DMC-LC1: Shooting once every 30 seconds, flash in operation for every shot, 77°F(25°C) ambient temperature.
