Camera Overview — Panasonic DMC-FS22

The Panasonic LUMIX FS22 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by the Venus Engine IV image processor. It covers an ISO range of 100 to 6400, giving users reasonable flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions. The 3.0-inch touchscreen LCD with 230,000 dots of resolution makes framing and reviewing shots intuitive, particularly for those who prefer a touch-driven interface over traditional button layouts.

Autofocus is handled by a Contrast Detection system with Face Detection AF across 11 focus points, making it straightforward to keep subjects sharp in everyday shooting scenarios. For stills, the camera captures images at a maximum resolution of 4608x3456 pixels with a burst rate of up to 4.4 fps, and offers color profile choices including Standard, Vivid, Natural, and Black & White. Video recording tops out at 720p at 30fps in 8-bit Standard color.

Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) helps manage camera shake during handheld shooting. The body is constructed from a plastic/metal composite, weighs just 126g, and measures 95.3 x 56.3 x 19.4 mm — genuinely pocket-friendly. Storage uses SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and the camera connects via USB.

Battery life is rated at approximately 250 shots per charge under CIPA standards.
