Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20

Lumix® 10.1-Megapixel Compact Digital Camera with 30mm Wide-Angle Lens, 4x Optical Zoom, Intelligent Auto Mode and 3.0" Diagonal Intelligent LCD .

Intelligent Auto Mode for One-Touch Beauty

Simply set the 10.1-megapixel DMC-FS20 to iA mode and let the four Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings.

30mm Wide-Angle Lens with 4x Optical Zoom

The 30mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens with 4x optical zoom takes wider shots than an ordinary 35mm lens. This is helpful in small rooms or crowded places, for example, letting you fit more people into a group photo. There's also an Easy Zoom button on the camera top — just press it, and the optical zoom and Extra Optical Zoom instantly extend to full telescopic position. This quick zooming lets you catch even fleeting opportunities.

Simple Design for Easy Shooting and Viewing

With its two basic settings — shoot and play — the FS20 is easy enough for anybody to use. We've also minimized the number of fine settings that need to be made with the cursor button and easy-to-understand settings menu.

Intelligent LCD Adjusts Brightness to Match Surroundings

The brightness and contrast of the large 3.0" diagonal LCD adjust automatically in 10 steps as ambient light conditions change, so images are clear, bright and easy to see day or night, indoors or outdoors.

Catch the Perfect Moment

In Hi-Speed Burst mode, you can snap off a lightning-fast six shots per second.* This makes it easier to catch the perfect action shot of a fast-moving subject.

*In 2-megapixel resolution (with an aspect ratio of 4:3 or 16:9) or 2.5-megapixel resolution (3:2) mode.
