Camera Overview — Panasonic DMC-LC43

The Panasonic LUMIX LC43 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 1/2.5-inch sensor delivering 4MP resolution. It's a straightforward shooter aimed at casual photographers who want simplicity and portability in a single package. The camera weighs just 215g and measures 96 x 66 x 34mm, making it genuinely pocketable for everyday use.

ISO sensitivity runs from 50 to 200, a narrow range that reflects the camera's design emphasis on well-lit shooting conditions. Autofocus is handled by a single-point contrast detection system, keeping operation predictable and approachable. The 1.5-inch fixed LCD displays at 114,000 dots resolution, and an optical tunnel viewfinder provides an alternative framing option.

A built-in flash covers basic low-light needs without requiring any external accessory. The LC43 supports burst shooting at up to 4 frames per second, a useful feature for capturing moving subjects. Storage is via SD card, and the camera connects to a computer over USB.

Power comes from two AA batteries — either NiMH or Alkaline — offering approximately 120 shots on NiMH or 70 shots on Alkaline. Video records at up to 30fps in a standard color profile.
