Ultra compact, Panasonic's LUMIX DMCFH5 features folded optics for the slimmest of profiles, yet still provides the full 28mm wide-angle lens for capturing all those lovely wide expanses. MEGA O.I.S. keeps it all steady. And, the Intelligent features make photography a no-brainer.

Big fun with a little camera

Just because the profile is slim doesn't mean Panasonic skimped on image quality. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Featuring the high-performance Venus Engine VI, beautiful images are possible in even low-light situations. With the 4x optical as well as 4x digital zoom, with a combined total of 36x zoom, you'll be in on the action even if you aren't in the middle of it. When it comes to automatic shooting, Panasonic's Lumix DMC-F5 delivers. The technology combines six detection and correction functions to deliver clear, beautiful images, every time. While Auto Focus tracking locks onto and maintains focus on moving subjects, optical image stabilization reduces image blur. Digital red-eye correction and Face Detection combine to produce stunning portraits, and Intelligent ISO control helps optimize exposure under different lighting conditions. Finally, an Intelligent Scene Selector automatically configures camera settings for a variety of common shooting conditions. Sharing photos and video on Facebook and YouTube is just as easy with Image Uploader — and no special software is needed.
