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.
