Wide-angle and zoom shots at your fingertips
You'll finally be able to make your photos look professional with the Lumix DMC FZ28's beginner-friendly, premium features. Whether you like manual control or just want your camera to take care of the right settings, your Lumix is ready to create extremely pleasing, 10.1 megapixel results. Plus, a wide angle, 18x MEGA optical image stabilized zoom lens makes it that much more detailed. Not only that, but it can take video, uses SD cards for lots of extra memory, and even has a "flip animation" feature that lets you create frame-by-frame animations for fun!
Intelligent exposure
The Lumix DMCFZ28 comes packed with exposure features that make each photo turn out just right. Red-eye correction, and white balance controls are just the beginning. You'll also enjoy Intelligent Exposure, which helps prevent over-exposure by automatically analyzing the framed image and adjusting the brightness. It also has Intelligent ISO which "knows" if the photo subject is moving. It changes the ISO settings to help make a blur-free image.
iA Mode Helps Prevent Shooting Mistakes in Any Situation
The AF Tracking function, the latest component to be added to Panasonics iA system, allows users to lock focus on a moving subject. The camera then automatically tracks the subject as it moves, keeping it in focus without the need to hold the shutter halfway down. AF Tracking makes it easier to capture moving subjects and spur-of-the-moment action shots. The AF Tracking technology also improves Face Detection (up to 15 faces), by providing continuous adjustment of the focus and exposure, even if the face is turned away from the camera.
HD recording
Wow. The fact that digital cameras can take video makes them a wonder already, but now the Lumix DMC FZ28 can record High Definition video with a resolution of 1280 x 720p at 30 frames-per-second. That means you get optimal viewing on HDTVs or high resolution computer monitors, and your video doesn't miss a detail.
It even straightens the image for you!
If you're trying to catch a clean photo of landscapes, buildings, or artwork, you don't want your photo to look like it is sliding off the screen. Even you hold the camera at a slight angle when you take the shot, Image leveling rotates the image until it is straight and level, crops off unneeded edges, all before you upload it into the computer. Great for fast and easy photo sharing!
Face detection
How many times have you framed what you thought would be the perfect shot only to see later that the faces in the photo are dark or blurry? Face Detection technology was created to make sure the people in your photos are as clear as possible. It recognizes multiple faces in a frame and optimizes the focus, exposure, and flash settings to ensure the best illumination and focus. So you'll see all the details in the faces of your friends and family. Look for face detection technology when you're shopping for a new camera if you take lots of portraits.
