Panasonic DMC-FX580 Silver 12.1 Megapixel Digital Camera - DMCFX580S

Panasonic DMC-FX580 Silver 12.1 Megapixel Digital Camera - DMCFX580S

Advanced Touch AF/AE with Face Recognition
Just "point out" the subject by touching the LCD, and the camera does the rest, adjusting the focus and exposure to capture a sharp, bright shot of your subject. Also, each time you indicate a face, the Face Recognition function activates and "remembers" it. Subsequently, any time that face appears within a shot you're framing, the camera adjusts the focus and exposure to capture it perfectly.

With iA mode and touch operation, shooting is simple
In iA mode, you can simply "point out" your subject by touching it on the LCD. The camera does the rest, automatically selecting the shooting mode that gives the best results. You enjoy easy, intuitive shooting and capture beautiful images of the subject you want to shoot.

Smooth manual operation
In Shutter-Priority AE, Aperture-Priority AE, and Manual modes, just touch the slider bars by the LCD to set the shutter, aperture and exposure correction values.

An easy touch is all it takes with assist functions too
Just touch the slider bars to fine-adjust the white balance too. And you can reposition the vertical and horizontal guide lines easily and intuitively with a touch.

Easy playback with touch operation
The Touch-View control feature lets you advance to the next image (or return to the previous one) by simply brushing a finger across the screen. Other convenient playback functions made possible by touch-panel operation include Multi-Playback, which lets you view thumbnails of up to 30 photos at once, Easy Search and Sort, and Zoom Playback.
