Camera Overview — Panasonic DMC-FX10

The Panasonic LUMIX FX10 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 6MP sensor housed in a 1/2.5-inch format. Powered by the Venus Engine III image processor, it covers an ISO range of 100 to 3200, giving shooters some flexibility across a range of lighting conditions. The camera delivers a maximum still image resolution of 2816x2112 pixels and supports color profiles including Standard, Natural, Vivid, Black & White, and Sepia, offering basic in-camera creative options without post-processing.

Optical image stabilization (OIS) is built in, helping to reduce camera shake during handheld shooting. The 2.5-inch TFT LCD display with 115,000 dots serves as the primary composition and review tool — there is no optical or electronic viewfinder. Autofocus relies on contrast detection with selectable modes: 5-point, 1-point, and 1-point high speed.

For storage, the FX10 accepts SD, SDHC, and internal storage. Video capture tops out at 480p with frame rate options of 30fps or 10fps in 8-bit color. The camera runs on a CGA-S008E Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery rated for approximately 270 shots per charge.

Connectivity includes USB, though there is no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or hot shoe. The plastic/metal composite body measures 94 x 51 x 24 mm and weighs 153g, making it genuinely pocketable.
