Description — Panasonic DMC-FH6
The Panasonic LUMIX FH6 is a point-and-shoot compact camera with a 14MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of capturing images at up to 4320x3240 pixels. Its ISO range of 100–6400 gives shooters room to work in both bright and lower-light environments. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is built in to help reduce blur from camera movement. The contrast detection autofocus system uses 9 focus points and supports subject tracking for more flexible shooting scenarios.
Framing is done via the 2.7-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots — there is no optical or electronic viewfinder. Video recording is available at 720p/30fps in 8-bit with a Standard color profile. The camera stores files to SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards and connects to computers via USB.
A built-in flash is included, though no hot shoe is available. Four photo color profiles are available: Standard, Vivid, Natural, and Black & White. The plastic body measures 96 x 56 x 20mm and weighs just 119g, making it a genuinely pocketable everyday option.
Battery life is rated at approximately 260 shots per charge.
