MANILA, Philippines - No matter who you are, whether the head of the family, an office employee, an overseas Filipino worker or a student, there is that perfect, easy-to-use and affordable camera that’s intelligent and efficient enough to fit your lifestyle and your budget — all courtesy of the Panasonic Lumix cameras.
Panasonic, one of the world’s leading home appliance and digital device manufacturers, unleashes its newest “F” series of Lumix digital cameras that fits just right for those who want crisp and clear picture details without worrying about shaking hands or lack of focus, especially when trying to capture moving subjects.
With the latest camera technologies involved in the new Panasonic Lumix cameras, nothing could ever go wrong (except if you drop your camera in the pool or you got hit by a speeding highway freak or something, but that’s another story).
Foremost among the “F” series of Lumix cameras are the FH22 and the FP3. To capture magnificently, preserve and enjoy precious family memories, the FH22 and FP3 boasts of Panasonic’s proprietary “intelligent Auto” or “iA” feature, with Anti-Shake (Mega O.I.S. or Optical Image Stabilizer) to prevent blurring; Motion & Face Detection for exceptional focus; Intelligent Scene Selector that automatically selects among various “scene” modes to suit a specific situation whether for photo or movie shooting; and Digital Red-Eye Correction to minimize red-eye effect when using the built-in flash.
With three-inch touch-screen LCD panels, the FH22 and FP3 both have 14.1-megapixel resolution and are able to capture high-definition videos for those memories that are best watched in movie form.
Slight difference is in optical zoom capability, with the FH22 having 8x optical zoom compared to the FP3’s 4x optical zoom, and the FH22 has a 28-mm wide-angle lens.
Simple yet stylish, the FP1 and FH1, on the other hand, both aim to captivate camera users who want a no-frill, easy-to-use cameras that they can bring practically anywhere.
Both having “iA” features just like the FH22 and FP3 and identical 12.1-megapixel resolution, the FP1 has a slim body profile with a newly developed foldable lens unit that makes it so thin and slim you can easily slip it in your pocket, while the FH1 lets you enjoy easy and casual shooting with its wide-angle 28-mm lens, perfect for shooting photos or self-portraits in compact spaces or in place where you cannot step back.
The FP1 has a 4x optical zoom, while the FH1 has a 5x optical zoom, and with capabilities of shooting high-definition videos, perfect for easy viewing on a PC.
Lastly, the Panasonic Lumix F3 and F2 digital cameras are perfect for blur-less casual shooting regardless of the time of day, wherever your location may be.
The 12.1-megapixel resolution, 28-mm wide-angle lens Lumix F3 prevents picture blurring via the built-in Digital Image Stabilizer that minimizes hand shake and the Intelligent ISO Control feature that either raises or lowers ISO sensitivity to match the movement of the subject and prevent motion blur for clearer, crisper photos when viewing at its 2.7-inch LCD screen.
On the other hand, Lumix F2 is best for those who are starting to take a liking in digital photography, with its no-fuss features that are perfect for the amateur photographer in you.
Don’t be fooled by its rather limited features because it still packs a mean punch, with its 10.1-megapixel resolution and 4x optical zoom capability. Most of all, it is priced just right for the budget-conscious yet aspiring chronicler of memories for friends and family.
