Panasonic Lumix FS series



Panasonic recently unveiled the easy-to-use 10.1-mega-pixel DMC-FS20 and DMC-FS5 cameras into its Lumix FS series.

Packed in a compact, slim and stylish design, the new models in the FS series offer interesting features that would be of much help to the beginner photographer.


The cameras, equipped with a 30mm wide-angle Leica DC lens with 4x optical zoom feature the Intelligent Auto (iA) mode. This mode comprises 5 shooting-assist functions, making for simple and easy photography.

These shooting-assist functions are:

» Mega Optical Image Stabiliser (OIS) which suppresses blur shots because of shaky hands.

» Intelligent ISO Control to prevent subject motion blur.

» Intelligent Scene Selector sets the appropriate scene mode by automatically selecting it from the most frequently used scene modes, such as Portrait, Scenery, Macro, Night Portrait and Night Scenery.

» Quick AF (autofocus) system allows the camera to start focusing on the subject even without pressing the shutter button halfway, minimising focusing time.

» Face Detection feature which detects a maximum of 15 human faces in a single shot.

Once in iA mode, these functions happen automatically without any adjustments, offering trouble-free shooting in any situation.

The DMC-FS20 and DMC-FS5 also incorporate a 3" and 2.5" intelligent LCD display respectively with 230,000-dot high

The intelligent LCD function detects lighting condition and controls the brightness level of the LCD in 11 fine steps, offering a display with the most appropriate clarity in any situation.

Each new FS camera is powered by the Venus Engine IV, a high-performance image-processing large scale integrated circuit to assure higher-quality pictures with an advanced signal processing system.

The Venus Engine IV also supports a High Sensitivity mode that lets the DMC-FS20 and DMC-FS5 take shots at a setting of up to ISO 6400, sensitive enough to capture subjects in near-total darkness without using a flash.

Both models also boast an internal 50 MB memory, giving users more flexibility in shooting with added memory to the SD card storage (bought separately).

All new Lumix cameras incorporate a Rec/Playback mode switch which helps the user flip between modes easily.

The DMC-FS20 (RM1,199) will be available in silver, black and pink while the DMC-FS5 (RM1,099) comes in silver, black and red.
