Description — Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX37
The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FX37 is a compact point-and-shoot camera designed for everyday portability. Its 10MP sensor on a 1/2.3-inch chip is processed by the Venus Engine IV image processor, with an ISO range spanning 100 to 6400. The camera's Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) system works to counteract camera shake at the lens level.
Autofocus uses contrast detection across 9 focus points with subject tracking enabled. The rear 2.5-inch TFT LCD at 230,000 dots is the sole framing method, as no viewfinder is fitted. Still shooters can choose from five color profiles: Standard, Vivid, Natural, Black & White, and Sepia.
Burst shooting is available at up to 2.5fps. Video records at 30fps in the Standard profile. The metal and plastic body measures 95 x 52 x 22 mm and weighs 125g, with storage via SD and SDHC cards and connectivity via USB.
The Lithium-Ion battery delivers 310 shots per CIPA rating.
