Leica Wide Angle Zoom Lens
Leica optics are world-renown for their high quality and exceptional value. Coupled with the Lumix DMC-FP8, the 4.6x Optical Leica Vario-Elmar lens provides convenient wide angle to telephoto coverage. This range represents a 35mm equivalent of 28-128mm. From landscapes to portraits, macro to action shots, this optic ensures first-class image quality in an ultra-convenient focal range.
POWER Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.)
Boasting Panasonic's newly developed POWER Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.), the DMC-FP8 automatically detects and corrects for camera shake. With twice the shake suppression of MEGA O.I.S, POWER O.I.S provides consistently sharp, crisp, photographs you can be proud of. The technology works seamlessly at any focal length or focusing distance.
Intelligent Auto (iA) Mode
Taking great photos should be as simple as point-and-shoot. That's the philosophy behind Panasonic's Intelligent Auto (iA) Mode. Combining face detection autofocus, AF tracking for moving subjects, image stabilization, scene mode selection, and auto ISO selection, the DMC-FP8 delivers consistently beautiful photographs.
Illuminated Controls
The back of the DMC-FP8 features illuminated controls to help navigate camera settings - even under dimly lit conditions.
Shoot Faster, Longer
The DMC-FP8 boasts high-speed 0.95 second start-ups, AF speeds of approximately 0.3 second, and up to five consecutive shots at 2.3 frames per second at full resolution. Highly energy efficient, you can also take up to 380 photos on a single battery charge.
