Panasonic Europe Press Release

25mm Ultra Wide Angle 5x Optical Zoom F2.8 High Quality Leica DC Lens
The Ultimate Stylish Compact Camera 12.1-Megapixel DMC-FX60
Featuring POWR O.I.S.
*35mm film camera equivalent: 25-125mm

Lisbon, Portugal (July, 2009) – Panasonic is pleased to introduce the new Lumix 12.1-megapixel DMC-FX60 with sweeping 25mm ultra-wide-angle*1 LEICA DC lens and powerful 5x optical zoom (equivalent to 25mm to 125mm on a 35mm film camera) as a member of world-acclaimed FX series.

Panasonic’s Intelligent Auto mode – a hallmark of Lumix cameras – now includes POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) which features a double the repression power compared to the conventional image stabilization system MEGA O.I.S. The hand-shake, which is physically generated when pressing the shutter button or when shooting at night with a slow shutter speed, is effectively compensated by the new POWER O.I.S. to enjoy blur-free photography. In the popular Face Recognition mode*2, up to three people can be simultaneously recognized to show their names on the monitor once registered.

Another main feature of the FX60 is its high-speed AF, the industry’s fastest level. Combined with a high-speed start-up of only 1.1 second to catch even the most fleeting photo opportunities. The 2.7-inch large Intelligent LCD offers dynamic and clear view out of its small body. The battery life is also as powerful as approx. 360 pictures shooting thanks to the highly energy efficient image processing LSI, the Venus Engine V*3.

Available in silver, black, pink, violet, gold and blue*4, the FX60 is a truly distinctive camera, with higher specifications that clearly distinguish it from other slim, stylish models.
