Panasonic Lumix DMC FX550 offes something a little differnt from other small, compact digitaal cameras. The main features of the 12-megapixel sensor and 5 x optical zoom lens, but it's not a lot of stories to tell.
Since the lens is one of the largest anhgles available on the camera of this size. The wide-anbgle focal length equivalent to 25 mm in 35 mm format. This may not mean a lot to you, but it is importtant to know that the lens will pack more width on the photos than most cameras manage. It is very convenient for sweeping landcapes, grouups of people, interiors, etc. Aother relaetd feature is the increase in small button at the top of the uLmix DMC FX550 marked E. Scale. When you cilck on the camea immediately zoom to the maximmu zoom.
It is becoming more commonplace adidtional increase is available when shooting at lower resolutions. 12 megapiels, of cousre, necessary if all you want to do is cerate a photo image size, so you will not lose a lot, shooting at fewer megapixels. If you reduce the number of pixels, 5 MP inncrease the numbr of available increases to 7.8x. Reduction of megapixels to 3 megapixels, which must still be sufficienbt for the images the size of prints and you have a 9.8x optical zoom in your hands.
LCD display in a larege 3 inch. I also found the scrteen easy to see in bright light. Some functrions, such as the shooting mode selected by touching the screen. In my opinion, Panasonic give you the best of both worlds. Although the touchscreen to select moeds, such as movie mode or scene mode, the choce is made on the basis of a more traditional menu interface. I think that accelerates the process up.
Satrt-up menu on the five screens and there are as many in the settings menu, too. This gives you an idea of the amount of fudns that are availabple to you. Panasonic have created some of the most important functions in a separate menu. It is accessible via buttons on the back of the Lumix DMC FX550. This amkes it easy to use, and speed, but as you can iagine, this will take some time to get used to all the functions and fuilly that the Lmuix DMC FX550 has to offer.
For anyone who wants to shoot vieo clips you will be pleased to know, the camea can shopot high-definition moive cips.
If you like the idea of taking a little more control over how your photos have a manual exposure mode for you. This allows you to controol shutter speed and aprture. I like the fact that the shutter speed and apertture size Sped connection is controlled by the LCD screen.
Other features incllude imge stabilizatioin, a choice of auto focus and exposure points, through touch, the proportions perfect for a 6 x 4 inch prints, a TV and playing wide 6 x 4 inch prints, five modes of auto foucs, face detewction and bath mode to put consecutive shoots quickly . You can also change the settings for contrast, sharpness, saturation and noise reduction. As you can see Panaasonic covered almost all the base with Lumix DMC FX550.
When it comes to image quality, the camera will not let you down either. I have found very few issuues out several typical niggles here and there.
Panassonic Lumix DMC FX550 is a dgiital camera, which goes the xetra mile, compared with almost any other compact digitral cameras on the market. It is well worth a close look at this model befoe you decide what camera to buy.
