*Included in the detailed settings of the Advanced SCN modes.
HDMI Mini Cable
This cable lets you send your still photos and motion images (and the
accompanying soundtrack) from the camera directly to an HDTV, with virtually no
degradation.
Intelligent Auto Mode
This mode not only helps eliminate blurring from hand-shake or subject movement,
it also helps you capture perfect portraits by detecting the face and selecting the
focus, exposure and Scene mode that get the best results. And it's all automatic.
Macro (Close-up) Mode
Use this mode to take incredible close-ups. You can focus on subjects within about
5 cm (0.16 ft) of the lens*.
*3 cm (0.098 ft) for the TZ7 and TZ6 / 1 cm (0.03 ft) for the FZ28 and LX3; when
shooting with the lens in the wide-angle setting.
Tele Macro
Set the zoom to maximum telephoto and you can take shots at a mere 1 m (3.28 ft)
from the subject, with the background in soft focus.
Shutter Priority AE Mode
Set the shutter speed between 1/2000 and 60 seconds to freeze or emphasize
movements.
Manual Exposure Mode
You have full control over both the shutter speed and aperture.
Motion Picture Mode
You can shoot smooth motion images at 30 fps, complete with sound, in WVGA
(848 x 480) or VGA size (640 x 480). Some models can also record motion images in
high defi nition (720p). When viewing the results, you will be suitably impressed by
displaying 16:9 motion images on a large-screen HDTV.
Custom Mode
You can store in memory up to three sets of frequently used settings, such as the
Scene mode, white balance and AF and photometry modes. Later, you can instantly
recall those settings by selecting Custom mode.
Clipboard Mode
You can take photos of maps, timetables and other travel info. They are saved in a
separate folder of the built-in memory to distinguish them from normal photos.
Advanced SCN Modes
In Scenery, Portrait, Sports, Night Portrait and Close-up modes, you can select
additional, more detailed settings, such as Normal, Indoor, Outdoor, and Creative.
SCN Modes
Select one or two of the modes on the following page to suit the shooting situation.
You can also access a help screen that explains what each mode is for.
Portrait Normal, Soft Skin, Outdoor, Indoor, Creative
Scenery Normal, Nature, Architecture, Creative
Sports Normal, Outdoor, Indoor, Creative
Night Portrait Night Portrait, Night Scenery, Illuminations, Creative
Close-up Flower, Objects, Food, Creative
Rec. Mode (Mode Dial / Mode Button)
Normal Picture (Program AE) Mode
The camera automatically determines the subject's brightness and sets the aperture
and shutter speed accordingly. You can adjust the white balance, ISO sensitivity and
other settings*.
*These settings can be adjusted in all modes except Motion Picture mode.
Program AE Mode
The camera makes the optimal aperture and shutter speed settings for you.
Aperture Priority AE Mode
Set the aperture to between F2.8 and F8.0* to obtain the desired depth of fi eld.
*This range varies by model. For details, please see the specifi cations on pages 34 to 38.
Optional Functions
Tele Conversion Lens
Increases your total zoom power. Gives you
the power to bring even more distant objects
into range.
Wide Conversion Lens
Increases the field of view at lower zoom
settings, so you can shoot a wider area.
Close-up Lens
This lens is excellent for impressive macro
photography. The distance to the subject is
reduced to between 40 and 50 cm (1.31 to
1.64 ft) in telephoto shots. Better depth of
fi eld and enlargement.
MC Protector
Protects the camera lens from scratches and other damage.
ND (Neutral Density) Filter
Reduces light intensity by 3 aperture stops and allows slower shutter speeds.
External TTL Flash
Provides perfect lighting for shots of subjects farther away in
the dark.
Marine Case
Explore the exciting world of underwater photography. You can
also use this waterproof case for worry-free shooting in wet
weather, at the beach, or on the ski slopes.
Component Cable
This cable lets you connect your LUMIX camera directly to an HDTV, so you can
view your HD photos and HD movies (1080i) with the incredible resolution, detail
and vibrancy today's HDTVs provide.
PL (Polarizing) Filter
Helps eliminate refl ections while preserving
the naturally vivid colors of the subject.
External Viewfi nder
This compact optical viewfinder attaches to the hot shoe. It
comes with a 24mm frame (35mm camera equivalent).
Included Software
PHOTOfunSTUDIO
This clever software sorts photos into practical folders that
are created automatically as you upload the photos from
the camera to a PC. The folders and their icons are linked
with your LUMIX by the Rec mode or Scene mode names.
The software* also lets you use your PC to view AVCHD Lite
movies that you record with LUMIX.
* Version 3.0 HD Edition only.
SILKYPIX® Developer Studio
This application lets you produce high-resolution images from RAW data recorded
with your camera. In addition to adjusting the exposure and white balance, it lets
you perform advanced color conversions, correct lens aberrations, and eliminate
noise in dark areas of the image.
Movie Functions
Intelligent Auto Mode (Movie)
Select iA mode, and your LUMIX camera automatically activates a host of advanced functions and
technologies – described below – that make it easy to capture beautiful, clear motion images.
HD Movie
You can shoot high-quality HD motion images in the progressive format, which
minimizes fl icker. The 1280 x 720-pixel images provide spectacular viewing on a large-
screen HDTV. If you're using a LUMIX model that features the AVCHD Lite (MPEG-4/
H.264), you can record for a longer time without running out of memory because
AVCHD Lite stores less data than the conventional Motion JPEG.
Movie Button
Press this button and the camera starts recording right away,
regardless of whether it's in Rec or Play mode. You're ready to
shoot quickly when there's a sudden shooting opportunity.
Zoom-in Movie
You can zoom in and out while shooting motion images, just like with stills.
Wind Cut
A digital circuit detects the wind direction and velocity and adjusts the directivity
of the microphones accordingly. This dramatically reduces both wind noise and
sound degradation in the low frequency range.
Stereo Microphone
The LUMIX cameras are the fi rst* in the industry to feature Dolby® Digital Creator
sound. In addition to recording voices clearly, this high-quality system captures
audio that conveys the atmosphere of the shooting location.
* As of January 27, 2009.
MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer)
Face Detection AF/AE
Intelligent Scene Selector
Intelligent Exposure
This function fi ghts blurring due to shaky hands as you shoot. You get crisp, sharp
shots, even at high zoom levels.
This function detects when there are faces in the frame, and automatically adjusts
the exposure, contrast, skin complexion effect, and focus so they turn out perfectly.
It can fi nd up to 15 faces in a frame.
This function senses the shooting conditions and selects the scene setting (Portrait,
Scenery, Low Light, or Macro) that will provide the best results.
This function continually checks the ambient light level and adjusts the exposure
setting as conditions change, preventing blown highlights and blocked shadows.
