Advanced Technology Creates the World's Slimmest 28mm Wide-Angle Optical Lens
Featuring five aspherical lenses with six aspherical surfaces including an extra-high refractive index aspherical lens, this system features a 28mm wide-angle lens with a 3.6x optical zoom that's compact enough to fit in a camera with a super-slim 22mm profile. And we added the Extended Optical Zoom feature, which boosts zoom power to as high as 5.3x.

Taking Hand-Shake Out of the Picture — MEGA O.I.S. helps keep your shots steady, even if you're not
It's hard to hold a small camera steady. That's why the FX30 features MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization), which automatically detects and compensates for hand-shake. You get clear, beautiful shots even when shooting in dim lighting, shooting macro close-ups, or taking self-portraits.

See More with a Large, Bright 2.5" Diagonal High-Resolution LCD
With its 2.5" diagonal size and 207,000 pixels, this high-resolution LCD monitor makes it easy to see text and small thumbnail images. The pixel-mixed readout method performed by the CCD increases the brightness level of the live image on the LCD, which greatly facilitates shooting in low lighting. If it's difficult to see the display on a sunny day, simply press the Power LCD button and the display becomes about 40 percent brighter.

Footnotes:

1. As digital magnification increases, resolution significantly decreases.
   
2. Number of shots may vary depending on memory card size, battery power, picture size, and compression. The consecutive shooting speed varies depending on the memory card or the built-in memory.
   
3. Shooting conditions: 73.4°F with 50% humidity; LCD On; Using an SD Memory Card; Starting to shoot 30 seconds after turning on the power; Shooting once every 30 seconds with the flash in full operation for every other shot; Changing the zoom setting from telephoto to wide, or wide to telephoto, for each shot; Temporarily turning the power off after each 10 shots (long enough to lower the battery temperature. For DMC-LC1: Shooting once every 30 seconds, flash in operation for every shot, 77°F (25°C) ambient temperature.
