Product Name: LX2 Digital Camera

Product Description

Intelligent Image Stabilizer
Blur compensation performance has evolved even further.
Now you can capture clear, sharp photos in almost any shooting situations. LUMIX's popular MEGA O.I.S. suppresses the blurring caused by hand-shake, and Intelligent ISO Control minimizes blurring caused by subject movement when photographing children, animals, or other moving subjects. So you get less blurring and more beauty.

Venus Engine III
Venus Engine III, the newly improved image processing LSI, inherits the conventional Venus Engine II's quick response and high-quality image output, yet dramatically reduces noise levels. This makes it possible to shoot at ISO 1600 with full resolution.

Full Manual Operation with Joystick
Equipped with a joystick for fingertip operation, the LX2 makes sure you get the shot you want. Enjoy fast and easy joystick operation for setting the aperture, shutter speed, MF and direct exposure compensation. This joystick further provides operation shortcuts to frequently used settings like white balance, ISO, light metering, etc.

Large 16:9 wide 2.8inch LCD with High Angle Mode
The wide 16:9 LCD provides a dynamic view for both shooting and viewing images. The High Angle mode makes it easy to view the LCD image when holding the camera high above you.

Mode Dial / Scene Mode
The mode dial makes it easy to take beautiful shots in almost any situation. Even first-time users can take great photos. Together with previous scene mode settings such as Candle Light and Starry Sky, new Beach, Aerial, and High Sensitivity modes have been added, giving you a choice of seventeen modes in all.

Versatile Functions
You can take motion pictures at 30 fps (frames per second) with WVGA or VGA resolution, or at 15 fps with high-definition (1280 x 720) resolution, for dynamic viewing on a wide-screen TV. You'll find new ways to explore the fun and creativity of photography.
