         .gif)
NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-F3 is a compact and stylish 12 megapixel entry-level digital camera offering simple operation with its Auto Scene Mode. In this mode the camera itself automatically adjusts for the ideal settings, even when the conditions change, meaning you don’t have to fiddle around in menus to get the best shots. And with features such as digital image stabilization, face detection and digital red-eye correction, taking great shots has never been easier. The Lumix DMC-F3 also boasts a 4x optical zoom lens that can capture landscapes, group scenes or difficult interior shots with its 28mm wide-angle setting; or zoom out to capture distant subjects up close. To top it off the F3 features 720p High Definition video recording, and is also compatible with the new generation of high-capacity SDXC* memory cards so you’ll have plenty of space to store your HD videos and high resolution still photos. RRP $149.

What are the features and how will they benefit you? |
|
Digital Image Stabilisation –works to counteract blurred images due to shaky hands, subject movement, or when shooting in low-light conditions. Intelligent ISO control can detect subject movement and adjust sensitivity and shutter speed automatically to capture images without motion blur.
Lumix 28mm Wide-Angle 4x Optical Zoom Lens – cover a wide range of shooting situations from wide-angle to capture more in your image, to telephoto where you can zoom up close to distant objects.
2.7” 230K LCD Screen – Features automatic brightness adjustment for better viewing in bright sunlight, or night time. High-angle Mode makes the display extremely easy to view from a low angle, for example, when taking photos by raising your hand upward to capture the subject over the crowd.
Auto Scene Mode – Automatically adjusts your camera for a range of different shooting situations and includes such features as face detection, intelligent scene selection, intelligent ISO digital image stabilisation, and digital red-eye correction - get great shots without having to fiddle around with menus, modes etc.
Face Detection AF/AE - detects faces and automatically optimizes the focus and exposure settings. It prevents blurry faces that happen when the camera focuses on something in front of or behind the subject, and keeps faces from appearing dark when shooting indoors or against a light source.
Extended Battery Life – expect to get around 220 shots from the supplied rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.
Unlimited Consecutive Shooting - lets you snap off consecutive shots at approx. 1.0 frame per second until the memory card is full.
Slideshows With Music - you can create an emotion-filled slideshow with a variety of slide transition effects and matching music.
Text Stamp - You can record the name and birthday of your children or pet and embed the name - and at which age in year and month the photo was taken - on the photo, and choose to print either or both of them on the photo. |
