Hand-Shake Ruins More Photos Than Anything Else
Has this ever happened to you? Just as your baby struck the cutest smile, or the 1st place runner stepped over the finish line — you caught it all in a photograph, only to find out later that it was totally ruined by blurring. This can destroy even the greatest shots. Many people think it's due to poor focusing, but the real problem is hand-shake.
Several Reasons Why Hand-Shake Happens
Digital cameras are wonderfully light and compact, but that also makes them shake more easily when you press the shutter button. In fact, even larger models that are easier to hold can shake when you're using a powerful zoom setting. Compared to shooting with a tripod, handheld zoom shots often contain considerable jitter. And there's even more to think about. Since you're often using the camera's LCD monitor instead of a viewfinder to frame your shots, you hold the camera farther away from your body. Even a pro finds it difficult to avoid hand-shake with this posture.
Hand-Shake Is Hiding Just About Everywhere
There are so many shots that lend themselves to hand-shake – like ones you take in the spur of the moment, in a dimly lit room, with only one hand, at night, or with your zoom – and it is so sad to see important shots come out blurry.

Advanced Panasonic Technologies Take Out the Shake
Jitter from shaky hands is far and away the biggest single cause of blurry shots. LUMIX cameras help solve this problem with advanced MEGA O.I.S. (optical image stabiliser) technology. A built-in gyrosensor detects any hand-shake and a signal is relayed to a high precision control circuit built into the Venus Engine II LSI, which instantly calculates the compensation needed. A linear motor then shifts the O.I.S. lens as necessary to guide incoming light from the image straight to the CCD. Panasonic's highly evolved Venus Engine II LSI makes this process even faster and more accurate. This helps extend the MEGA O.I.S. correction range all the way to 3 or 4 steps below (slower than) the shutter speed that is generally considered to be the limit for handheld shooting, which is calculated by the formula "1/focal length (1 divided by the focal length)." In addition to giving you clear, sharp shots, MEGA O.I.S. also expands your shooting possibilities.
The O.I.S. lens is driven by a linear motor, providing quick, precise optical correction for the hand­shake detected by the gyrosensor.
Two Image Stabilisation Modes to Meet Different Shooting Needs
In new LUMIX models there are two different O.I.S. modes to meet different shooting needs. This image stabilisation system is a Panasonic original. It was developed to help compensate for camera movement, but its main goal is to achieve the highest possible image quality in the resulting photo. MEGA O.I.S. helps you get the clearest shots possible.
Compensates for jitter all the time.
Mode 1
In this mode, image stabilisation is continuously on. It helps you to compose shots in the LCD monitor and to see the focusing condition more clearly.

continuously.
Maximum correction for higher quality images.
Mode 2
This image stabilisation mode, a Panasonic original, was developed to help you obtain some of the clearest photographs possible, despite unintentional hand-shake. It corrects the image the moment you press the shutter button, providing maximum compensation in all directions. Since the
O.I.S. lens remains near
the image centre until you shoot.
light is received near the centre of the lens, this mode gives you clearer, sharper pictures and higher resolution.

Hello Vivid Memories!
High-speed, high-precision image processing LSI.
Venus Engine II
High-Resolution Processing with Minimal Colour Bleeding
In the previous generation of LUMIX models, we improved diagonal resolution by 50% over earlier models by extracting luminance signals from all of the pixels – red, green and blue. Our new LUMIX cameras go a step further. By further adding the luminance signal from the green pixels in areas with horizontal and vertical lines, we have raised horizontal and vertical resolution by 10% compared to the former Venus Engine while preserving the superb diagonal resolution. The result is fine, detailed image rendering with no colour bleeding.
Venus Engine II
Previous type
*Images are simulated and are provided to show the nuances in feature performance.
Adding to the Beauty with Digital Processing
The many advantages of the Venus Engine II extend even into the optical area to raise the limits of lens performance. The digital correction capability of this advanced LSI corrects colour aberration in telephoto shots and vignetting, which are inherent in every optical lens. This combines with the high optical precision of the Leica DC lens to achieve even higher image quality. In addition, the Soft Skin Detail function detects skin areas and activates a low-pass filter and digital toning process to improve complexions when shooting portraits.
Natural, True-to-Life Colour
Our new 12-axis independent colour adjustment achieves more precise colour reproduction than the conventional 4-axis (red, green, yellow and blue) adjustment.

Super-Fast Shutter Response
We slashed the shutter release time lag to about 0.006 second minimum by increasing both the circuit speed itself and the point at which the shutter release signal is detected. We also shortened the shutter interval to around 0.3 second minimum*. These improvements help make LUMIX extremely quick and responsive, a camera that's truly a pleasure to use.

Take a Series of Shots Sufficiently
The Venus Engine II offers fast, consecutive shooting at 3 or 4 frames per second* with full resolution. The new Unlimited Consecutive Shooting function** lets you keep on shooting until the memory card is full. You can take a series of shots, then choose the one you like best and delete the rest.

The consecutive shooting speed varies depending on the memory card.
A Choice of Auto-Focus Distance Metering Methods
The auto focus (AF) system in new LUMIX models goes well beyond conventional 1-point and spot distance metering. It adds 3-point metering that prevents the system from mistakenly focusing on the area between two subjects, and 9-point metering that helps assure proper focusing no matter how the subject is framed. The 3-point metering mode also focuses more quickly, making it easier to get clear, sharp shots of a subject moving horizontally.

Heir to a tradition of excellence.
Leica DC Lens
The Elmarit and Summicron lenses made by Leica Camera AG are highly acclaimed. Some of the same cutting-edge technologies
that make these lenses so exceptional have been adapted to the digital camera. The LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT and LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON – two lenses that follow in the Leica tradition of excellence. Although small in size, they have a large, bright aperture, meeting the stringent quality standards established by Leica.
Minimal Spherical Aberration
The use of several aspherical lenses virtually eliminates spherical aberration. The result is extremely precise image rendering with minimal distortion, even in wide-angle shots.
Sharp Resolution All the Way to the Edges
Even enlarged images captured with a Leica DC lens are crisp and clear right to the edges.
Less Flare or Ghosts
A Leica multi-coating process applied to the lens helps to prevent the fogging caused by flare and ghosts that can result from excessive light.

ED lens minimises chromatic aberration
The FZ20 goes a step further by using ED (extra-low dispersion) glass in its lens system to minimise chromatic aberration and reduce the refraction differences among light of different wavelengths. This helps to suppress the colour bleeding that may occur in telephoto shots, giving you crisp, vivid images.

MEGA O.I.S.
I cover a wide range of fields, from travel photography to the arts, so I like the versatility of the new LUMIX FZ3. I was pleasantly surprised by its 3.1-megapixel resolution, and its firmware will help the average user produce remarkable results. This little camera offers manifold possibilities to control the final exposure at the moment of shooting. It has very good response, wonderful colour rendition, and sharpness. When I tried it in an actual live ballet performance, I found the new Venus Engine II to be both fast and accurate. And the O.I.S. (optical image stabiliser) helps you to take clear, jitter-free images. In fact, I've been able to get very sharp handheld shots with the maximum focal length of 420 mm at 1/15 sec.

Economy Mode
This mode saves battery power by reducing the LCD's brightness 40% and by turning off the LCD after a certain amount of idle time. There are two economy levels to choose from.
Level 1 : LCD turns off when the camera has been idle for 15 seconds. Level 2 : Same as Level 1, plus the LCD turns off when the camera has
been idle for 5 seconds after you've taken a shot.
Extended Shooting from Two AA Batteries
The DMC-LC80 and DMC-LC70 can be powered by two AA alkaline batteries. You can find these batteries almost anywhere, so it's easy to pick up spares when the power starts running low. You can take about 160 photos on two alkaline batteries, or about 320 on two rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (Ni­MH) batteries*. Use Economy mode, and you can take even more.

LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON Lens
Colour: -K (Black)
The breathtaking elegance of the LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens
A Lens Worthy of the Summicron Name
Offering a focal distance equivalent to a 28 mm to 90 mm lens on a 35 mm camera, the LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens boasts a wide­open aperture value of F2.0 at the wide setting and F2.4 at the telephoto setting. The exquisite rendering of this fine lens, heir to Leica Camera AG's world-renowned optical technology, makes the LUMIX DMC-LC1 stand apart from the competition.
Aspherical Lenses and Multi-Coating
The LC1 has 13 lenses in 10 groups, including two dual-sided aspherical lenses that minimise aberration. A special multi-coating on each lens surface reduces ghosts and flare. The result is sharp, clear, vivid images with outstanding contrast, colour and depth.
Dual-Sided Aspherical Lens
Select Manual Focus and Shoot Like a Professional
Hybrid Auto Focus System
The LC1 combines an image feedback AF system with an AF sensor system. Their quick, precise focusing makes it easy to capture sharp, detailed images.
Exposure control to match your shooting intentions
Program AE Mode
The optimal exposure is set automatically.
Aperture Priority AE Mode
Lets you set the aperture between F2.0 and F11 (in 1/3 EV steps).
Shutter Priority AE Mode
Lets you set the shutter speed between 8 and 1/2,000 sec (in 1 EV steps).
Manual Exposure Mode
You can manually set both the aperture and shutter speed. Enjoy full manual control plus a Manual Exposure Assist function.
(Functions for More Shooting Fun)
Flash Light Adjustment/Bounce Lighting:
Flash intensity can be adjusted ±2 EV in 1/3 EV steps. An external flash (DMW-FL28) is available as an option. You can use the "bounce" lighting technique to soften shadows or
lighten skin tones.
2.5" Polycrystalline TFT LCD Display (Transflective Type):
With its clear, high-resolution images, this 211,000-pixel monitor gives you easy, comfortable shooting.
Real-Time Histograms: Check the exposure level in graph form. Composition Guide Lines: Help to balance photo compositions. Light Metering: •Intelligent Multiple •Center Weighted •Spot Picture Adjustment: •Sharpness •Saturation •Contrast (each in 3 steps) White Balance Adjustment:
±5 steps of 300 Kelvin each (except Auto and Black & White modes)
Auto Bracketing: ±1/6 —1EV step, 3 or 5 frames RAW file mode:This mode records data directly from the CCD, with no processing.
*RAW format files are used in some imaging applications, including ArcSoft PhotoImpression (included). The RAW format is supported by the newest Camera Raw plug-in for Adobe Photoshop CS. See www.adobe.com.
High-Speed USB 2.0 Interface:Transfer data to a PC at 480 Mbps. Remote Shutter (Included):Especially useful when shooting at slow shutter speeds. MC Protector (Included):
Helps you to protect the lens from scratches and other damage.
