The newest addition to the LUMIX series PANASONIC fascinate for its extensive facilities and the zoom lens. (30x optical + digital). She is also one of the few mini-Digi's with viewfinder. As langjäriger shutterbug me still falls taking pictures with "camera in Vorhaltestellung" difficult. In broad daylight (with sun in the back) of the viewfinder is indispensable. He is no optical viewfinder, but a digital display that all camera information indicating complete and clear side of the design. The motive picture was so high Auflöung that the smallest details are visible. The extensive facilities (s. Description at the offers) is big SRK's not after. To mention is the universal ring on the lens, allowing the familiar of the SRK Adjusting the zoom and focus the lens, so a zoom tweaking is possible, which is not the usual small lever on the top right away. Depending eingestelter function transfers the camera other settings (aperture, speed, white balance etc.) intelligently to this ring. So the operation is possible even with gloves, because due to the size of the camera's buttons and adjuster are very small. The image quality is absolutely the possibilities of a 18MB chip. This resolution is the LEICA! Lens fully meets. This becomes clear when the digital zoom is used at 18MB resolution. Even then turn out well-resolution images. The images can be stored in 2 jpg-compressions and RAW, connected with USB, the camera appears on the PC or PAD as an external drive to copy the images etc. to the software installation the supplied have omitted. To process the RAW data, however, a corresponding software must be installed. The WIFI connection allows transferring the images to all WiFi devices as well as remote control of the camera at the same time remote viewing of the subject (for example, wildlife photography, where the photographer from the camera far away, invisible to the animals, the camera can control eg via smartphone ). The geocoding provides the photographer and the local, national or state region name and the geographical coordinates of his recordings and stores this data with the images, but can be switched off. The camera has completely überzeugft me, it leaves nothing to be desired, a very good, recommendable purchase.
