Remember the Essentials
Sufficient memory is not included.
Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.
Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FH25 Digital Camera (Black) is a complete digital camera image-making machine--it has an 8x Leica wide-angle 28-224mm (35mm equivalent) zoom lens, a 16.1MP high-resolution CCD sensor, and a 2.7" LCD monitor with 230K dots of resolution for composing and viewing photos and video.
And the video is beautiful--1280 x 720p HD video @ 24fps. The superb image stabilization combined with sensitivity up to ISO 6400 and Intelligent Resolution mean you'll never have to be disappointed about blurry pictures in low-light situations.
Scene modes (27) and color modes (8) give you confidence that your photos will be the best possible in any given situation, and high-speed burst shooting at up to 4fps, in tandem with the Sonic Speed autofocus mean that you'll never have to miss a shot waiting for the camera to start up or to focus (shutter release time lag is as short as 0.005 second). And Intelligent Auto exposure will always pick the optimal settings, whatever the scene you're photographing. All of this (and much more) in a camera less than 4" long, and barely 1" deep--you'll always have it with you.
- 28mm Wide-Angle 8x Optical Zoom LEICA DC Lens
- The DMC-FH25 features a newly developed 28mm wide-angle high quality LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with powerful 8x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 28-224mm) into a slim, compact body. Comprising 9 elements in 7 groups, including 3 aspherical lenses with 6 aspherical surfaces, this advanced lens unit realizes the outstandingly slim and compact body, yet achieving exceptional optical performance.
- 28mm Wide-Angle Lens
- The 28mm wide-angle lens lets you easily capture large groups of people indoors or expansive architectural structures and scenes with dynamic width and rich perspective, even from short distances.
- Easy Zoom Button for Quick Close-ups
- The DMC-FH25 has the Easy Zoom button to utilize the powerful zoom with ease and comfort. Even when the zoom is set to a position lower than 8x, the first press of the Easy Zoom button immediately gives you the maximum 8x power of the optical zoom. A second press delivers the maximum 18x power of the Extra Optical Zoom. This lets you bring your subject right up close, easily and comfortably.
- 10x Intelligent Zoom/18x Extra Optical Zoom
- Thanks to the newly incorporated Intelligent Resolution technology, the Intelligent Zoom is available with the DMC-FH25 which extends the zoom ratio by approx. 1.3x maintaining the picture quality even when combining a digital zoom. This means the 8x optical can virtually extend to 10x equivalent. Furthermore, the Extra Optical Zoom function that extends zoom power to 18x by using the center part of the large CCD to bring subjects even closer.
- Venus Engine VI
- The high-speed, high-performance Venus Engine VI is incorporated in the DMC-FH25 to enable the recording of beautiful images with higher quality signal processing including the Intelligent Resolution technology. An advanced noise reduction system in the Venus Engine VI applies noise reduction (NR) to luminance noise and chromatic noise separately. As a result, beautiful images with minimal noise can be reproduced all the way up to ISO1600 high sensitivity at full resolution for beautiful night shots or dimly lit indoor shots.
- 16.1-Megapixel High-Resolution CCD
- The DMC-FH25 features a 1/2.33-inch CCD with effective 16.1-megapixel high-resolution. Images remain clear and sharp even when they are enlarged to A2 size (594 x 420 mm). An A2 photo is large enough to show a newborn baby or the head and chest of an adult in actual size. Photos in ordinary sizes (127 x 89 mm or 178 x 127 mm) come out beautifully at 3-megapixel. You can trim the photos any way you want.
- Sonic Speed AF
- The Sonic Speed AF system includes numerous re-engineering enhancements, including a higher-speed actuator, optimized algorithms and parallel software processing. The result is fast and accurate AF performance. In addition, the DMC-FH25 features dramatically speedier focusing that is 42% faster than our previous model. You can quickly focus on moving subjects, such as when you're shooting sports scenes. The parallel processing of software results in ultra high-speed start-up. The shutter release time lag is as short as approx. 0.005 second, making it easy to capture sudden, spur-of-the-moment photo opportunities.
- Intelligent Resolution Technology
- The image processing technology "Intelligent Resolution*" is incorporated in the Venus Engine VI for the DMC-FH25. With the Intelligent Resolution technology, 3 areas - outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation areas - are automatically detected and optimum signal processes are performed to each area. Apart from the uniform enhancement of sharpness, the innovative technology Intelligent Resolution precisely performs signal processing pixel by pixel in the most effective way for it. As a result, images are naturally clear and crisp.
- High Image Quality in High-Sensitivity Shooting
- The graininess that results from picture noise and the flatness that sometimes comes with noise reduction measures are major concerns when shooting at high sensitivity levels. The Intelligent Resolution minimizes noise to produce sharp, clear images. To raise the image quality, the Intelligent Resolution automatically activates for modes in which the shooting resolution drops to 3-megapixel or less, such as the High-speed Burst Shooting, Photo Frame, and High-sensitivity Modes.
- Battery Life
- The energy-saving Venus Engine VI image processing engine and the efficient, rechargeable lithium-ion battery - which has been slimmed down to fit into thinner camera bodies - work together to extend the shooting time of the DMC-FH25. This lets users take approx. 250 shots on a single battery charge. The Unlimited Consecutive Shooting function lets you snap off consecutive shots at approx. 1.4 frames per second until the memory card is full. You can take a series of shots, then choose the one you like the best and delete the rest. You can also select High-speed Burst Mode or Flash Burst Mode from Scene Mode.
- iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode
- When you don't know which mode will give you the best shooting results, or when a sudden photo opportunity pops up and you don't have time to make any settings, simply choose the iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode and let the camera do it all for you. You just choose the iA Mode, aim at your subject, and shoot. 6 detection and correction functions are simultaneously activated to optimize the settings, so you get stunning photos every time. In addition, the Intelligent Resolution technology is always activated in the iA Mode which results in the clearer and higher image quality in every photo with extended zoom range equivalent to 10x by the Intelligent Zoom.
- MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) - Shake Detection
- The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) in the DMC-FH25 compensates for the blurring caused by hand-shake. Even slight hand-shake movement is accurately detected by a sampling frequency of 4,000 times per second, and compensated to produce sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine VI controls the shifting of the blur-stopping lens with even greater precision to further increase the detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. It works for zoom shots and macro shots, which are especially susceptible to hand-shake, and lets you shoot in dimly lit rooms or evening illumination to preserve the mood. In short, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur-free shots with ease.
- AF Tracking - Subject Detection
- Once you focus on your subject, the AF Tracking automatically tracks it until you press the shutter. When you're taking images of an active subject, like children or pets, this function eliminates the need to press the shutter button halfway down repeatedly to readjust the focus. The AF Tracking makes sure you don't miss those once-in-a-lifetime shooting opportunities. The DMC-FH25 features the Quick AF. Ordinary AF is activated when the shutter button is pressed half-way, while the Quick AF starts operating as soon as the camera is pointed toward a subject. This dramatically reduces the shutter delay time and lets you take images quickly. Its super-fast focus is ideal for capturing quick images of active children and pets. By setting the camera to the Quick AF, images of sudden shooting opportunities won't be out of focus or blurry.
- Intelligent ISO Control - Motion Detection
- The Intelligent ISO Control function in the DMC-FH25 made possible by the Venus Engine VI detects subject movement and automatically adjusts the ISO setting and shutter speed to best suit the movement and light conditions. When it detects subject motion, it automatically raises the ISO setting and increases the shutter speed to prevent motion blur. On the other hand, when the subject is still and no movement is detected, it takes beautifully natural photos with a low ISO setting. The Intelligent ISO Control gives you stunning images with ease because there is no need for complicated settings.
- Face Detection AF/AE
- The Face Detection AF/AE function detects faces and automatically optimizes the focus and exposure settings. It prevents the 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 the light source. It detects up to 15 faces at a time, making it extremely convenient for group photos. Once the camera detects a face, Face Tracking follows it even when the subject moves around. Plus, the system keeps on detection if a face turns sideways to the camera.The DMC-FH25 is also equipped with Digital Red-eye Correction (Red-eye Removal). The camera takes care of the red-eye effect that often happens when shooting with a flash, to ensure attractive facial expression.
- Intelligent Scene Selector - Scene Detection
- When the camera's in iA Mode, the Intelligent Scene Selector automatically sets the Scene Mode to one of Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait, Night Scenery or Sunset. The camera judges it from the various detection results such as focusing and brightness level of the circumstance. You are free from annoying settings every time scene changes when taking images with these most frequently used Scene Modes to get beautiful results even before you know it. The Happy Mode, a color mode option in the iA Mode, optimizes color, saturation and brightness to make images more vivid and true to the color of the scene you remember. It can be used in combination with each Scene Mode in the Intelligent Scene Selector.
- Intelligent Exposure - Light Detection
- The Intelligent Exposure function increases the exposure only in under-exposed areas by detecting the brightness level part-by-part in the image. If the background includes the sky, which tends to be easily washed out, the camera automatically adjusts the aperture and shutter speed to keep the setting slightly under-exposed to prevent wash-out while brightening the darkened area by increasing the ISO only in that area. If the background of an indoor portrait receives insufficient lighting from a flash and becomes dark, the ISO sensitivity is raised in only the low-lit area to make it brighter without causing graininess in the subject's face. When there is strong backlighting, the background appears nice and bright, but the subject is dark. The Auto Backlight function detects a backlight condition and compensates for it automatically.
- HD Movie Recording
- The DMC-FH25 can record motion images in high-definition (1,280 x 720 pixels at 24 fps in Motion JPEG format). The pixel mixed readout method enables bright motion-image recording even in low-light settings. It can also record standard motion images in VGA (640 x 480 pixels at 30 fps) and QVGA (320 x 240 pixels at 30 fps).
- Easy Uploading
- The DMC-FH25 gives you a new form of communication by letting you share your photos and movies. All you have to do is checkmark the photos and movies you want to share and connect the camera or SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card to a computer. Uploading automatically starts by simply following the guidance. Facebook can be used for photos and YouTube for movies. You can join these social networking services without having to install any special software. It's easy to share photos and movies on the spot, which means that your friends don't have to wait for you to come back home to see them.
- Large, 2.7" 230,000-Dot High-resolution LCD
- The DMC-FH25 features a 2.7", 230,000-dot high-resolution Intelligent LCD and High-angle Mode.
- Scene Mode
- The Scene Mode lets the camera make the optimal settings for you automatically, so anybody can take superb photos with ease. The versatile Scene Mode range, which handles just about any situation and subject type (27 scene modes), is a major LUMIX feature. And to make it even simpler to use, the icons and display are designed for easy visibility. The DMC-FH25 lets you store a frequently used Scene Mode setting in the My Scene Mode.
- Panorama Assist Mode
- This is a handy function for aligning panorama photos using the included software PHOTOfunSTUDIO 6.0 Edition. The afterimage of each previous shot is displayed, so you can use it to precisely line up the second and third shots.
- High-Speed Burst Mode
- High-speed Burst Mode fires off up to approx. 4.4 frames per second with 3-megapixel resolution, which is highly sufficient for photo prints. This is great for capturing fast-moving sports or racing scenes. You can take a series of shots, then choose the ones you like the best and delete the rest. (Note that the focus and exposure are fixed at the first frame.)
- Select from 3 Aspect Ratios
- The aspect ratio for the DMC-FH25 can be easily selected from 16:9 wide, 3:2 and conventional 4:3 to shoot in the framing aspect that best suits the photo's composition or purpose of use.
- Text Stamp
- The Baby Mode and Pet Mode let you enter the date of birth and name of your subject in advance. You can also enter your destination and the date of travel in advance in the Travel Date setting. The name, age based on the birth date, date of travel information, and date of shooting are displayed during playback, and can be printed on photos.
- PHOTOfunSTUDIO 6.0
- The PHOTOfunSTUDIO 6.0 makes it possible to sort and organize photos not only of those newly taken but also of those stored in your computer with quick start-up and fast read-in of images. The Face Recognition function that recognizes the faces in the picture automatically sorts the photos by the registered faces without picking out each photo one by one when you only want pictures of a specific person. A Panorama Stitch lets you make a panoramic composite in MOV file by synthesizing photos taken in Panorama Assist Mode of the camera. It is also possible to make a slideshow with the selected photos adding music file on.In addition to the LUMIX Image Uploader (a direct uploading function of the camera), you can upload photos to Facebook and movies to YouTube via this software, too.
- Quick Menu
- Frequently used functions can be quickly retrieved and easily switched by using the Q.MENU button. The function names are displayed in text form, making them easy for anyone to understand and use.
- Built-In Memory 70MB
- Take photos even when you don't have an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card on hand. The built-in memory holds up to approx. 70MB of image data, which you can later copy to a memory card or computer. You can also copy images from a memory card or computer to the built-in memory, and view them on the LCD anytime you like. In addition to providing extra memory when your memory card fills up, this is a great place to store your favorite photos so you can view them anytime you want.
- PictBridge-Compatible
- The PictBridge standard lets you print directly on a compatible digital printer. Print size, layout, date and other settings can be made with the camera. Of course, you can also make multiple prints of an image, or print only the ones that you have selected.

Many people use cell phone cameras for everyday snapshots, but I find that using the Lumix FH-25 as my carry-everywhere camera yields much more useful results. The Lumix, wrapped in a plastic baggie, fits easily into my pocket, still leaving room for other stuff. The controls are easy to manage -- easier than those on my Canon powershot (lost during a recent trip) for which the Lumix is a replacement.
Lens range is nice, though one needs to anchor the camera firmly to get decent results at the 8x (224mm) setting. The lens (Leica label) gives nice results, though I'd say that the Canon images appeared to be as good.
The door that provides battery access seems a bit flimsy, so I'm taking particular care not to stress it. Given that a second Panasonic battery costs about 1/3 the price of the camera, I wish that a generic battery were available.
When on specific assignment I use Nikon DSLR's with the usual assortment of lenses, but the Lumix is an excellent supplement for the many occasions when the Nikons are not along. On the whole, I'm quite satisfied with the Lumix FH-25

Can't zoom in and out on video mode. Access to the menu is not as comfortable as on my DMC-ZS5. The controls in general are not great and easy to access. I wouldn't recommend this one again, even if it has 16 MP. I would recommend other Panasonic Lumix.

I AM SURPRISED HANNAH WOULD LOWER HER SELF TO BUY SUCH A POINT AND SHOOT CAMERA, THIS CAMERA IS EASY TO USE IF TIME IS TAKEN TO ""LEARN" HOW TO USE IT. THE PHOTO'S ARE SHARP IF IT IS WIDE ANGLE OR A VERY VERY LONG ZOOM.

Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25 Digital Camera (Black):
I really like the on off switch its less likely to come on if pressed while in my pocket! Also takes fantastic photos! the image quality is impressive for a camera in this price range I've been a canon camera only owner and decided to try something different and I'm glad I did! Also the 720p video performed above my expectations on full zoom it held my daughter in perfect focus. I have no complaints after 2 weeks of use.

Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25 Digital Camera (Black):
I purchased this point & shoot as a pocket camera to have with me 24 7. First impressions were not
up to expectations for a 16.1 MP. Resolution on auto settings are poor when zooming in. Image stabalization poor. IF a tripod is used, results improve as do using program settings and features
for planned shots. Of course this dampens the P&S feature for candid unplanned snap shots. The price was right on sale. For what I wanted one would have to pay twice as much.

Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25 Digital Camera (Black):
Take this with me when I leave the house so I won't ever miss that "once in a lifetime" shot again. Years ago on the way home from work I glanced at the sky and saw a cloud formation that resembled the Twin Towers complete with the large antenna but leaning on about a 30 degree angle. It only lasted a few minutes but taught me a lesson to always be prepared when opportunity knocks.

Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25 Digital Camera (Black):
I have several cameras which I use for different purposes. This Lumix is the one that I have with me all the time. I had three Lumixs before, and they all developed spots on the light sensor - possibly because I carried them more or less unprotected in my pocket. After the third one did this I gave up and got an Olympus 5010. After six months, I decided to go back to the Lumix -- it's just easier to control and use in different situations. I'll try to keep the dust out of this one.

Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25 Digital Camera (Black):
The extended optical zoom is a real plus. Using the IA mode has rendered excellent color values.
There is some cheapening of componenets, like the buttons and the removal of the ruber coating on the body.
Overall I am very pleased with the product.

Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25 Digital Camera (Black):
This is my second Lumix and I find for a small digital camera it creates clear photos with good color. I also like the variety that it has to offer and I take photos while on the back of a motorcyle and I found that I did not get many
blurred photos compare to some of the other compact cameras I have had. I also find the type of lense in this camera makes a difference also.
