Panasonic is proud to introduce the new LUMIX DMC-F5, which features a 14.1 megapixel sensor and a high-quality wide-angle lens with a focal length of 28 mm and a 5× optical zoom 28-140 mm in 35 mm camera equivalent . This sleek camera is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery and offers unparalleled ease of operation that aspiring photographers will appreciate.
The 5× optical zoom allows you to get closer to your subject, with no reduction in quality, unlike the digital zoom. A wide-angle lens with a focal length of 28 mm, ideal for landscapes and large groups of people. And its high frame resolution of 14.1 megapixels gives you the freedom to frame and enlarge portions of the image after shooting.
The DMC-F5 shoots HD video at 1280×720p at 30 fps, but VGA 640×480 and QVGA 320×240 resolutions are also available. Video can be started by pressing a special button on the back of the camera, so switching between stills and video is no problem. Included with the camera is the PHOTOfunSTUDIO 9 app.0 LE makes it easy to organize your photos and videos and share them on social networks such as Facebook or YouTube.
During shooting, the Intelligent scene mode selector analyzes shooting conditions and selects the most appropriate mode for the situation: Macro, Portrait, Landscape, Night Portrait, Night Landscape and Sunset. The DMC-F5 also has a new Panorama mode that lets you take a series of horizontal and vertical panoramic photos that overlap each other seamlessly.
The LUMIX DMC-F5 can be charged either with an adapter or via USB.
The compact LUMIX DMC-F5 with a wide-angle lens seems like a great option for beginner photographers. However, I’m curious to know if this camera provides easy-to-use settings and features for someone who is just starting out in photography. Can you please share more information about its user-friendly functionality and any additional benefits it offers to beginners?
