From the Manufacturer --------------------- Panasonic's new Lumix DMC-LS80 digital camera features advanced, yet easy-to-use settings that help every type of digital photographer take great photos. Encased in a compact design and powered by AA batteries, the LS80 offers convenience and increased usability. With a newly-developed Lumix DC Vario lens system, 3x optical zoom and 8.1-megapixel resolution, the LS80 is feature-rich and user-friendly digital camera, all at an affordable price. At the core of the DMC-LS80's easy-to-use operation is a comprehensive system of intelligent technologies that operate within the camera automatically, without any extra effort from the user. The Panasonic Lumix LS80 integrates four distinct features ed at making it easy to capture perfect images. Another new intuitive technology of the LS80 includes the Intelligent LCD, which means the brightness of the LCD automatically adjusts as the ambient light level changes. With the Intelligent LCD, which comes with 230,000-dot high resolution, images are clear, bright and easy to see -- regardless whether it is day or night; inside or outside. Panasonic DMC-LS80K Highlights Mega O.I.S. Gyrosensors detect hand-shake and an Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) lens system shifts to compensate, preventing hand-shake from creating a blurry image and instead, providing a clear and crisp photo. Intelligent ISO With this feature, the digital camera can determine if the photo subject is moving and change ISO setting and shutter speed accordingly, thus enabling a blur-free photo. Auto Macro The LS80 automatically switches to the Macro setting when in close proximity to the photo subject, ideal for those extreme close-up s. Quick AF With the Quick AF (Auto Focus) system, the LS80 will focus on the photo subject without the user needing to press the shutter button, producing the fastest shutter speed by minimizing the AF time. Venus Engine III processor High-quality, high-performance image processing with the Venus Engine III. With its multi-task image processing capability, the Venus Engine III boasts outstanding response time. Shutter release time lag is as short as 0.005 second. In the consecutive shooting mode, it is possible to shoot at 2.5 frames per second in full resolution; and in High-Speed Burst shooting mode, the LS80 fires off an incredible 5.5 s per second. Also, with unlimited consecutive shooting, the user can snap photos continuously until the SD Memory Card is full. High-definition compatible With the Lumix LS80, consumers are able to take 1920x1080 pixel photos, ideal for viewing on wide-screen (16:9) High Definition televisions. The complete Panasonic Viera line of Plasma and LCD HDTVs comes equipped with an internal SD card slot, so viewing digital photos is as easy as taking the SD card out of the LS80 and inserting it into the front of the Panasonic Viera. Video In addition to standard VGA (640 x 480), the DMC-LS80 can also record WVGA (848 x 480) motion pictures at 30 frames per second. Fitting a wide-screen HDTV perfectly, these wide-aspect motion images make for impressive viewing.
