Camera Overview — Panasonic DMC-FH6

The Panasonic LUMIX FH6 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 14MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor, offering a straightforward shooting experience for everyday photographers. With a maximum photo resolution of 4320x3240 pixels, it captures detailed stills suitable for standard prints and sharing. The camera's ISO range spans from 100 to 6400, providing flexibility across a range of lighting conditions.

Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) helps reduce the impact of camera shake without relying on a digital crop, which is a meaningful inclusion at this price tier. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with 9 focus points and subject tracking, making it reasonably capable for casual moving subjects. The 2.7-inch fixed LCD display with 230,000 dots serves as the primary composition tool, as no viewfinder is present.

Video capture tops out at 720p at 30fps in 8-bit Standard color. The camera stores images to SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards and connects via USB. A built-in flash is included, while there is no hot shoe for external flash units.

Weighing just 119g and measuring 96 x 56 x 20mm in a plastic body, portability is clearly a priority. Battery life is rated at approximately 260 shots per charge.
