¬Suggestions/Tips ¬

In Landscape mode [ ]/Motion image mode [ ], flash setting is fixed to the Forced OFF [ ].

When using the flash in ISO AUTO setting, the ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted from ISO100 to 200. To avoid noises, decrease the ISO sensitivity.

Do not stare at the photo flash from close proximity (a few centimeters from the camera) when using the flash.

If you bring the flash too close to the subjects, they may be distorted or discoloured by its heat and lighting.

Do not cover the photo flash with your fingers or any other items.

If the subject is too close when using the flash, the picture may be over exposed.

When the jitter alert appears, we recommend using the flash.

When you set to burst mode or auto bracket, only 1 picture is recorded for every flash activated.

The user-friendly interface ensures that even novice photographers can navigate settings without difficulty. Additionally, the cameras provide up to 3x optical zoom, making them suitable for capturing distant subjects without sacrificing image quality.

The DMC-FX5GN and DMC-FX1GN are equipped with a 2.5-inch LCD screen, offering clear visibility for composing shots and reviewing images. This display is particularly beneficial for outdoor shooting, where lighting conditions can often affect visibility.

In terms of video capabilities, both models support VGA video recording at 30 frames per second, adding versatility for capturing moving moments. Furthermore, they support a range of storage options, including SD and SDHC memory cards, allowing users to expand their storage capacity based on their needs.

Overall, the Panasonic DMC-FX5GN and DMC-FX1GN provide a solid mix of performance, portability, and user-friendly features, making them ideal choices for anyone looking to enhance their photography skills while enjoying the convenience of a compact camera.
