The Lumix DMC-FX580 Digital Camera from Panasonic is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera, with an intuitive touch-screen interface and brushed-metal finish. The slim camera features an impressive Leica wide-angle zoom lens, perfect for capturing group shots when zoomed out or individual portraiture when zoomed all the way in.
You'll be able to select autofocus and autoexposure points by touching your finger to the large 3" LCD, making it easy to focus on a specific person or object. You can also use the touch screen to adjust shutter speed, aperture, and other manual features.
The innovative Intelligent Auto (iA) helps you to take clearer, sharper photographs. This mode includes a Face Recognition function, which can "remember" registered faces. The camera will help to optimize focus and exposure so that the owners of these registered faces will be bright and in focus in photos.
Shaky hands in less-than-ideal lighting conditions can often ruin a photograph. The Lumix features Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S system to help prevent this. This system uses optical stabilization to help counteract shaking, coupled with an intelligent ISO control that automatically adjusts the camera's sensitivity to light in order to achieve a faster shutter speed.
