Description — Panasonic DMC-FS35
The Panasonic LUMIX FS35 is a point-and-shoot compact camera centered on a 16MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format, driven by the Venus Engine VI image processor. Its Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) system works to minimize blur from hand movement, while the contrast detection autofocus — featuring Face Detection AF and coverage of up to 9 multi-area focus points — keeps subjects sharp during casual and portrait shooting. The camera's ISO range spans 100 to 1600, and five photo color profiles (Standard, Vivid, Natural, Black & White, and Sepia) allow for in-camera creative adjustments.
Burst shooting is supported at up to 3.2 frames per second. The 2.7-inch TFT LCD at 230,000 dots serves as the primary framing and review interface. Video captures at up to 30fps in 8-bit color.
The body is built from plastic composite, weighs just 159g, and measures 99.2 x 56.5 x 27.8 mm — compact enough for a jacket pocket. Storage options include SD, SDHC, SDXC, and internal storage, while the DMW-BCK7 Lithium-Ion battery provides approximately 250 shots per charge.
