•About the LCD monitor

•Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may

appear on the LCD monitor and it may malfunction.

•If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the LCD monitor will be slightly darker than usual at first. However, the picture will return to normal brightness

when the internal temperature of the camera increases.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen. However there may be some

dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen. This is not a malfunction.

The LCD monitor screen has more than

99.99% effective pixels with a mere

0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.

•About the Lens

•Do not press the lens with excessive force.

•Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as it may cause the camera

to malfunction. Also, be careful when you leave the camera outside or near a

window.

•Battery

The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion

battery. Its ability to generate power comes from the chemical reaction that

takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to the surrounding temperature and humidity. If the temperature is too high or too low, the

operating time of the battery will become shorter.

Always remove the battery after use.

Others

Store the removed battery in the battery carrying case (supplied).

Bring charged spare batteries when going out.

•Be aware that the operating time of the battery becomes shorter in low temperature conditions such as at a ski resort.

•When you travel, do not forget to bring the battery charger (supplied) so that you can charge the battery in the country that you are travelling in.

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the body of the battery and the terminals are damaged.

•Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the camera.

Dispose of unusable battery.

•The battery has a limited life.

•Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.

•The unusable battery should be discarded in accordance with battery recycling laws. Call the RBRC hotline on 1-800-822-8837 for information.

Do not allow battery terminals to come into contact with metal objects (such as necklaces, hairpins etc.).

•This can cause short circuiting or heat generation and you may be badly burned if you touch a battery.

DMC-FX10, DMC-FX12 specifications

The Panasonic DMC-FX12 and DMC-FX10 are part of Panasonic’s compact digital camera series, known for their blend of size, performance, and ease of use. Launched in the mid-2000s, these cameras offered a solid choice for casual photographers seeking quality without the bulk of larger DSLR systems.

At the core of both models is a 1/2.5-inch CCD sensor. The DMC-FX12 features a resolution of 7.2 megapixels, while the DMC-FX10 has a 6.0-megapixel sensor. This resolution enables users to capture detailed images suitable for prints and online sharing. The cameras are equipped with a Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens, characterized by a 35mm equivalent focal length of 28-100mm, providing a versatile zoom range that is ideal for various shooting scenarios from landscapes to portraits.

One of the standout features of both the DMC-FX12 and DMC-FX10 is the incorporation of Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization) technology. This innovation helps to minimize the effects of camera shake, particularly in low-light conditions or when using telephoto settings, resulting in sharper images and enhanced overall quality.

Both models also offer a variety of shooting modes, including intelligent auto mode, which automatically adjusts settings based on the scene being captured. This allows even novice photographers to achieve satisfactory results without needing extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, the cameras come equipped with a 2.5-inch LCD screen, providing a clear view for composing and reviewing images.

In terms of connectivity, the DMC-FX12 and DMC-FX10 provide USB and AV outputs, making it easy to transfer images to computers or display them on televisions. They also support SD/SDHC memory cards, allowing for expandable storage that accommodates numerous photos and videos.

The build quality of these cameras is robust yet lightweight, making them ideal for travel. Compact dimensions mean they can easily fit into pockets or small bags, ensuring they are always ready for action. The user-friendly interface further enhances their appeal, allowing quick access to essential functions and settings.

In summary, the Panasonic DMC-FX12 and DMC-FX10 represent a solid entry in the realm of compact cameras with their impressive combination of resolution, lens quality, optical stabilization, and user-friendly features, appealing to both novice photographers and those looking for a reliable secondary camera.
