Camera Overview — Panasonic DMC-FS6

The Panasonic LUMIX FS6 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around an 8MP, 1/2.5-inch sensor capable of producing images at a maximum resolution of 3264x2448 pixels. Designed with portability in mind, it measures just 97 x 54.4 x 21.2mm and weighs a lightweight 115g, making it an easy fit in a pocket or small bag. The camera features optical image stabilization (OIS) to help reduce camera shake during handheld shooting.

For focusing, it uses a contrast detection autofocus system with 9 focus points, giving users a reasonable degree of subject placement flexibility. The ISO range runs from 80 to 1600, covering a variety of lighting conditions for casual photography. Shooting speed is supported by a burst mode capable of up to 3 frames per second.

On the rear, a 2.5-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots serves as the primary composition and review tool — there is no viewfinder listed in the specifications. Video capture tops out at 480p at 30fps. Storage relies on SD and SDHC cards, and the camera connects to a computer via USB.

A built-in flash is included for low-light situations. No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity is present.
