10.1-megapixel black Lumix digital camera

The DMC-FS20's 10.1 capture-every-detail megapixel resolution is enhanced by a variety of technologies that help you compose the perfect shot, every shot. The Intelligent Scene Selector matches shooting mode and situation, automatically. MEGA Optical Image Stabilization reduces hand-shake blur while Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent blur that results when shooting fast-moving subjects. Face Detection lets you take stunning portraits of friends and family. When you'd rather focus on the action than your camera's settings, Program Auto Exposure automatically chooses the proper aperture and shutter speed.

10.1 megapixels = Every detail, every memory

When you choose to record your memories with a digital camera, you do so because you're interested in the details. With the Lumix DMC-FS20 and its 10.1 megapixel-capturing ability in hand, you're ready to preserve every detail. A 2.33" CCD image sensor captures crisp, clear images in high resolution, and helps reveal a full range of expressive color and detail in every shot. Optical and digital zooms at 4x power can be combined with or without Extra Optical Zoom modes to achieve 16x or 28.4x digital zoom powers — compose sharp, clear shots of subjects both near and far.

One, two, three, four shot-enhancing technologies

Take every shot with confidence. Intelligent Auto mode places four technologies under your control that help you snap shots free of common shooting-errors. The DMC-FS20's broad list of Scene modes — including Portrait, Soft Skin, Scenery, Sports, Night Portrait, Self-Portrait, Food, Party, Candle Light, Fireworks, Snow, and Sunset — might seem daunting, but the Intelligent Scene Selector makes things easy by choosing the mode that best fits each situation for you. When the excitement of the shot makes you a little unsteady, MEGA Optical Image Stabilization reduces blurring caused by hand shake. Motion blur that might otherwise occur when shooting moving subjects is reduced by Intelligent ISO Control. Finally, when you're taking pictures of friends and family, Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing focus and exposure settings.

Whoa, steady now . . . One more word on O.I.S.

Get ready to bid camera-shake blur adieu. Whether you enjoy shooting pristine landscapes, wildlife, sports or candid moments at gatherings with friends, the excitement of the shot can get to even the most seasoned of photographers, putting even just a teeny shake in an otherwise steady hand. The unfortunate result? Blurry memories and fuzzy moments. Enter Panasonic's MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer, featured on the DMC-FS20 digital camera. A built-in gyrosensor detects any hand movement during a shot, and then sends a signal to the camera's microcomputer. After calculating the necessary compensation, the microcomputer shifts the optical image stabilizer to guide the incoming light from the subject directly and cleanly to the CCD image sensor. Your get all of your DMC-FS20's 10.1 megapixels devoted to sharp, clear detail and not to blur and fuzz.

Composing, reviewing, and sharing each shot is easy

Many digital cameras — including your new DMC-FS20 — use an LCD screen on the back of the camera as the viewfinder for composing shots. By automatically adjusting its brightness as ambient light conditions change, the DMC-FS20's wide 3.0" LCD screen gives you a clear view of each shot you compose, and is ideal for reviewing shots right after you've taken them, or for sharing images with friends.

Worry about the shot, not the settings

It's a partly cloudy day, and sunlight and shade are alternating over the soccer field where your child is playing in the championship game. After stealing the ball, your son or daughter is on a breakaway up the field on a course to make the game-winning goal. Don't miss all the action by fumbling with manual aperture and shutter-speed controls as you try to keep up with the changing light conditions. Your new DMC-FS20 features Program Auto Exposure, automatically calculating the combination of aperture and shutter-speed settings that will give you a properly exposed shot. Spend more time cheering and snap the perfect photo for the after-game celebration.

A professional technique made automatic

Seasoned and novice photographers, alike, use a technique called bracketing both as a learning tool and to help guarantee that they don't miss the perfect shot. Bracketing is simple — photographers simply take three or four photographs in succession, slightly changing the exposure settings for each shot to ensure that the right exposure is given. The DMC-FS20's Auto Bracketing mode automatically takes multiple pictures with a single press of the shutter, each using a different exposure. Review all the images after the shot and keep the best one.

Don't let fast subjects slow you down

Whether it's a break-away play at your child's hockey game, or wildlife darting through the trees, fast-moving subjects usually don't give you a chance to take more than one shot. Take between 2.5 and 10 shots-per-second (depending on resolution) with the SMC-FS20's High-Speed Burst mode. You just got a whole lot better at catching that perfect action shot.

Keep color temperature in balance

Different lighting conditions — sunny day, morning, indoors — can result in color qualities that might appear unnatural when photographed. Well, that is unless you're shooting with the DMC-FS20 featuring White Balance. By providing manual and automatic color-temperature correction of photographs taken under different lighting conditions, White Balance gives you the ability to capture true-to-life colors in every shot.
