Panasonic DMC-FX48 Lumix Digital Camera

25mm wide-angle lens model with Face Recognition and lots of style

An iA mode that's smart enough to remember faces
The FX48 features an enhanced iA mode that includes Face Recognition, a function that "remembers" registered faces. When there's a familiar face in the frame, it optimizes the focus and exposure so that the face is in sharp focus and bright. iA mode also activates a host of functions that make it easy to get great shots.

MEGA O.I.S. helps prevent blurring caused by shaky hands when shooting.
Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent blurring caused by the subject moving as you shoot.
Intelligent Scene Selector selects the most suitable Scene mode for the situation.
Intelligent Exposure adjusts the brightness of dark areas in an image.
Face Detection AF/AE helps capture sharp, bright shots of faces.
Tracking AF keeps the focus locked onto the subject, even if it moves.

Bright F2.8, 25mm wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens with 5x optical zoom
The 25mm wide-angle lens in this super-compact camera captures greater area of an ordinary 35mm lens, making it ideal for shooting group photos indoors or wide landscapes outdoors. The 5x optical zoom pulls distant subjects up close, and the exquisite rendering of the Leica DC lens lets you capture nuanced, expressive photos.

Sorts and organizes photos with familiar faces
Using Face Recognition technology, the camera can find photos of people and sort them into categories. This makes it easy to display only photos of a particular person or people, or to set up a slideshow with just those photos.

Create incredible 360-degree panorama photos
A Panorama Assist mode makes it easy to take a series of images to combine into a panorama shot, while checking the degree of overlap between adjacent shots. This is great for shooting landscapes that are too wide to capture in a single shot. *ArcSoft(R) Panorama Maker (TM) software (included with the camera) can be used to stitch the images into a single panorama photo.
