Description — Panasonic DMC-FH4
The Panasonic LUMIX FH4 is a pocketable point-and-shoot camera built for straightforward, everyday photography. At the heart of the camera is a 14MP sensor with a 1/2.3-inch format, processed through Panasonic's Venus Engine. It captures stills at a maximum resolution of 4320x3240 pixels and offers a burst rate of 3.7fps for shooting fast-moving moments.
The ISO range runs from 100 to 6400, and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) helps keep images sharp during handheld use. The autofocus system uses contrast detection with 23 focus points and includes a face detection AF mode for easier portrait capture. Five color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Natural, Black & White, and Sepia — give photographers some in-camera flexibility.
Video recording tops out at 720p at 30fps. The 2.7-inch TFT LCD with 230,400 dots is the sole composition interface. Storage options include SD, SDHC, SDXC, and internal storage.
The plastic body weighs just 103g and measures 94.4 x 53.5 x 19.1mm, making it one of the easier cameras to slip into a bag or pocket. A built-in flash and USB connectivity are included.
