Panasonic 10.1-megapixel black Lumix digital camera

DMCFS42K (Black)

The DMC-FS42K's Intelligent Auto Mode combines three technologies - including Face Recognition - to intelligently improve your digital photography experience. While a 1/2.5" image sensor delivers highly detailed 10.1-megapixel images, a 2.5" LCD viewscreen is great for composing and reviewing shots. A built-in 50MB storage capacity combines with SD/SDHC compatibility for versatile storage options, and a Lithium-ion battery serves up long-lasting power and a 390-shot capacity.

The digital point-and-shoot with intelligence

Night photography. Portraits. Action shots. Amateur and professional photographers, alike, recognize these three shooting conditions as among the most challenging . . . and potentially rewarding. Imagine: a moon-lit landscape, a perfect shot of the grand-daughter's smile, or your son's breakaway for the winning goal. Equipping you to take successful shots in all of these situations, Panasonic presents the DMC-FS42K digital camera with Intelligent Auto mode. Panasonic's iA Mode combines three technologies for exquisite results. First, an Intelligent Scene Selector automatically chooses from among a variety of Scene modes — including Night Portrait and Night Scenery — to deliver optimal exposures. Second, Face Detection Auto Focus and Auto Exposure detect when faces are present in the frame and automatically adjust the focus and exposure to capture them properly. Finally, Intelligent ISO Control automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to prevent subject blur when fast-moving subjects are detected. Canon's intelligent shooting performance allows you to snap great shots without worrying about manual settings or adjustments.

Hey, it's a Lumix

Any time you see a little calligraphic "L" in the corner of a digital camera's body, you know to expect one thing: exceptional performance. And it's no surprise to find the DMC-FS42 among the ranks of Panasonic Lumix series digital cameras. First, a 1/2.5" image sensor is capable of capturing highly detailed, 10.1-megapixel photographs that can be easily enlarged without running the risk of a loss of resolution. Second, a 2.5" LCD viewscreen on the DMC-FS42's rear panel offers a wide and clear perspective for composing, reviewing, and sharing your photos. Third, while a 4x optical zoom aids in capturing photos of distant subjects, 50MB of built-in memory and support for SD and SDHC memory cards offer you multiple options for storing your photos. Finally, a wide variety of Scene modes and White Balance options allow you to customize each shot's exposure with pre-configured settings for specific shooting situations.

Powered by Lithium

Because the Panasonic DMC-FS42 digital camera is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it brings you more than just incredible power. First, because lithium has the third lightest atomic mass of any element, lithium-ion batteries are some of the lightest batteries available. Second, Lithium-ion batteries have a lower loss-of-charge rate overall in comparison with other battery types and they do not suffer from 'memory loss' or a decline in total energy capacity. The lithium-ion battery featured on the DMC-FS42 brings you lightweight, long-lasting and reliable power for your digital photography needs.
