FEATURES

Bright F2.8, 28mm Wide-Angle LEICA Lens and 12.2 Megapixel CCD
An advanced 28mm wide-angle, 3.6 optical zoom Leica DC lens system featuring four aspherical lenses (including an EA lens) with five aspherical surfaces. A large 1/1.72" CCD with an effective 12.2 megapixels — the highest resolution in its class. These features add up to make the FX100 a superior camera with extraordinary expressive power. The FX100 also features an Extended Optical Zoom, which extends zooming to as high as 7.0x 1 . And zooming is super easy: just press the Easy Zoom button and the FX100 jumps instantly from 1x to 3.6x to 7.0x.

Intelligent ISO Control Prevents Motion Blur
Intelligent ISO Control makes it easier to take clear, crisp shots even if your subject moves. Offered in the FX100, this innovative feature detects any movement and automatically raises both the ISO setting and the shutter speed accordingly, preventing motion blur. If the subject is still, the camera shoots at a low ISO setting and you get beautiful, natural-looking images.

Prevent Hand-Shake Blur with MEGA O.I.S.
Hand-shake is a problem with most small cameras, but not with the FX100. MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) automatically compensates for hand- shake. You get clear, beautiful shots even when shooting in dim lighting, shooting macro close-ups, or taking self-portraits.

Incredibly Fast Consecutive Shooting at 8 Frames per Second
MEGA BURST ® Shooting lets you take consecutive shots at a swift two shots per second. The new Hi-Speed Burst Mode ® goes a step further, letting you snap off consecutive shots at a lightening-fast eight shots per second. This makes it easier to catch the perfect action shot of a fast-moving subject.

Additional Features:

20 scene modes including the enhanced High-Sensitivity mode up to ISO 6400 with flash from up to 16m away
16:9 wide high-definition motion images (1280 x 720 pixels at 15 f.p.s.)
Category Playback sorts images into categories such as portraits, landscapes, nightscapes and events
Quick settings without taking your eyes off the subject
Up to 320 shots on a single battery charge 2

In 3-megapixel resolution mode.
