When using the zoom function, an estimate of the focus range will appear in conjunction with the zoom display bar. (Example: 0.5 m (1.64 ft.) )

¢1 The magnification level differs depending on [PICTURE SIZE] and [ASPECT RATIO] setting. ¢2 The on-screen zoom indication may momentarily stop moving when you rotate the zoom

lever to the extreme Tele position. You can enter the digital zoom range by continuously rotating the zoom lever to Tele or releasing the zoom lever once and then rotating it to Tele again.

Extended optical zoom mechanism

When you set the picture size to [ ] (3 million pixels), the 10M (10.1 million pixels) CCD area is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect.

Note

The digital zoom cannot be set when õ or ¨ has been selected.

The indicated zoom magnification is an approximation.

“EZ” is an abbreviation of “Extended optical Zoom”.

The optical zoom is set to Wide (1k) when the camera is turned on.

If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.

The lens barrel extends or retracts according to the zoom position. Take care not to interrupt the motion of the lens barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.

When using the digital zoom, [STABILIZER] may not be effective.

When using the digital zoom, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P42) for taking pictures.

DMC-FX35 specifications

The Panasonic DMC-FX35 is a compact digital camera that gained recognition for its combination of portability, advanced features, and user-friendly design. Launched in 2008, this model was part of Panasonic's Lumix series, which aimed to provide high-quality imaging in a sleek package.

One of the standout features of the DMC-FX35 is its 8.1-megapixel CCD sensor. This sensor delivers exceptional image quality, allowing for detailed photographs even in varied lighting conditions. The camera is equipped with a 25mm ultra-wide-angle Leica DC VARIO-ELMAR lens, which offers a superb 4x optical zoom range. This wide-angle lens is particularly beneficial for landscape photography and group shots, ensuring that more of the scene is captured without stepping back.

Another key technology in the DMC-FX35 is the Intelligent Auto mode, which automatically detects various shooting conditions and optimizes settings accordingly. This feature makes it easier for novice photographers to achieve great results without adjusting settings manually. Additionally, the camera offers face detection technology, which ensures that faces are focused and exposed correctly, ideal for portrait photography.

The DMC-FX35 is also known for its advanced image stabilization system, dubbed Mega O.I.S. This technology helps to minimize the effects of hand-held camera shake, allowing users to capture sharp images even at slower shutter speeds. This is particularly useful in low-light situations where traditional cameras might struggle.

The camera's 2.5-inch LCD display provides a clear and vibrant view of subjects, making it easier to compose shots and navigate the menu system. Furthermore, the FX35 supports various shooting modes and creative filters, enhancing the versatility of the camera for different shooting scenarios.

With a compact design and lightweight build, the Panasonic DMC-FX35 is an ideal option for travel and everyday photography. It also supports SD memory cards, enabling easy storage and transfer of images.

In conclusion, the Panasonic DMC-FX35 combines an impressive array of features, user-friendly functions, and high-quality imaging capabilities, making it a dependable choice for photographers looking for a portable camera without compromising on performance.
