Description — Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01
The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FX01 is a compact point-and-shoot camera centered on a 6MP sensor with a 1/2.5-inch format, processed by the Venus Engine Plus LSI image processor. It shoots stills at up to 2816x2112 pixels and offers five color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Natural, Black & White, and Sepia — for creative flexibility without post-processing. The ISO 80–1600 sensitivity range helps accommodate different lighting environments, while Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) works to reduce camera shake during handheld use.
Autofocus uses contrast detection with selectable configurations of 1-point, 3-point, 9-point, and Spot. The 2.5-inch TFT LCD at 207,000 dots serves as the sole framing and review screen. Video recording reaches up to 480p at 30fps.
The body is constructed from metal and plastic, measures 94 x 51 x 24mm, and weighs just 155g, making it a genuinely slim travel option. Storage is via SD card, connectivity is through USB, and the built-in flash supports multiple modes. Battery life is rated at approximately 320 shots per charge.
