Product Details
Panasonic DMC-FH25K Black 16.1 Megapixel Digital Camera - DMCFH25K
The LUMIX DMC-FH25 shoots high-quality 16.1 megapixel images and combines a
28mm wide-angle*1 LEICA DC lens with a powerful 8x optical zoom to take amazing
photos. Redesigned with an easy-to-hold grip and slim and stylish profile, it
features a 2.7" Intelligent LCD, 720p High Definition (HD) video recording
and advanced iA (Intelligent Auto) for ease of use. At the core of the LUMIX
FH25 is the Venus Engine VI image processor with Intelligent Resolution technology
for shooting clear and crisp digital photos and videos. The camera features
a fast response time with shutter release lag times as short as approximately
0.005 seconds and, by adding Sonic Speed AutoFocus (AF), users can easily capture
spur-of-the-moment photos. Using Intelligent Resolution technology, the Intelligent
Zoom extends the powerful 8x optical zoom to 10x equivalent without compromising
picture quality.
Features:
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 sensitivity at full resolution
for beautiful night shots or dimly lit indoor shots.
LUMIX Image Uploader
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.
Intelligent LCD
Detects the lighting conditions and controls the brightness level in 11 fine
steps, to display the most appropriate setting.
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.
* The Intelligent Exposure function is automatically turned on in the iA Mode
and can be turned on or off in the Normal Picture Mode.
Scene Modes
A total of 28 modes, such as Baby, Pet and Sports, allows the user to choose
the setting and the camera do the rest. Users can also record the name/birthday
of a child or pet and embed the information in the photo and have it printed
if desired. 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, 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.
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 an SD/SDHC/SDXC 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.
SDHC Memory Cards and SDXC Memory Cards can be used only in equipment that
is compatible with their respective formats. If the computer being used does
not support SDXC Memory Cards, a message prompting you to format may appear.
(Doing so will cause recorded images to be erased so do not choose to format.)
iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode
Panasonic's popular iA mode, a suite of technologies that engage automatically
with no setting changes needed by the user makes it easy for anyone to take
beautiful photos. The LUMIX FH25 features two new iA functions AF (Auto Focus)
Tracking and Intelligent Exposure. AF Tracking locks onto any subject and keeps
it in focus even if it moves, while the Intelligent Exposure optimizes the exposure
for each part of an image, preventing blocked shadows and blown highlights and
helping ensure that gradation and details are reproduced beautifully. The automatic
backlight compensation function activates whenever the camera detects the subject
is in backlight.
Other features of Panasonic iA, which can be engaged with a dedicated button,
include:
MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization) Shake Detection
Reduces blurry photos that result from hand-shake. 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.
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 beautiful 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.
* The Intelligent ISO Control function is automatically turned on in iA Mode,
and can be turned on or off in Normal Picture Mode.
Face Detection AF/AE
Helps to ensure registered faces are captured in focus with appropriate
exposure and unwanted red eyes are digitally corrected. The Face Detection AF/AE
function*1 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 detection on 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*2
Intelligent Scene Selector - Scene Detection
Select the best option from: Macro, Portrait, Scenery, Night Portrait, Night
Scenery and Sunset by detecting the environment. When the camera is in iA Mode,
the Intelligent Scene Selector automatically sets the Scene Mode to Scenery,
Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait*1, Night Scenery or Sunset. The camera judges
it from various detection results including focus and brightness level of the
circumstance*2. You are free from choosing different settings every time the
scene changes when taking images with these frequently used Scene Modes to get
beautiful results.
*1 In iA Mode, Night Portrait is not identified when the flash is turned off.
*2 With some subject and shooting conditions, it is just not possible to judge
the best shooting details. When this happens, it is recommended that you shoot
with the Scene Mode that best suits your purpose.
