Camera Overview — Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1
Key Features — Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1
12MP 1/1.7-Inch Sensor: Larger than the 1/2.3-inch sensors common in compact cameras, delivering improved image quality and low-light performance.

10fps Burst Shooting: Captures up to 10 frames per second, giving you a strong chance of freezing fast-moving subjects.
1080p Video at 30fps: Records full HD video at up to 30 frames per second for smooth motion in handheld or everyday footage.

Description — Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1
The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LF1 is a point-and-shoot compact camera featuring a 1/1.7-inch sensor at 12MP resolution, driven by Panasonic's Venus Engine image processor. The camera offers an ISO range of 80 to 6400, supporting shooting across a variety of lighting scenarios. A notable inclusion for this camera class is a built-in electronic viewfinder running at 60Hz with 200k dots resolution — handy when the 3.0-inch LCD (640x480) is difficult to use in direct sunlight. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is on board to help minimize blur from camera shake.
The autofocus system uses contrast detection. For video, the DMC-LF1 records at up to 1080p with frame rate options of 60fps and 30fps. Burst shooting is supported at up to 10 frames per second.
Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Mini HDMI, and USB. Compatible storage includes SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards. A built-in flash provides a light source when needed.
Color profile options for stills include Standard, Vivid, and Natural.
