Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH8 Digital Camera

Digital Camera Description

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH8 is a Ultra-Compact Digital Camera with a 1/2.3" sensor. Its 16 Megapixels CCD sensor offers an ISO 100-1600 sensitivity range which is expandable to ISO 100-1600. With 16 MP of resolution, sharp prints are possible up to 19" x 14" at 240 DPI.

A builtin Image Stabilization mechanism allows the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH8 to compensate for camera shake.

This camera features a mechanic shutter that can expose for 1/1600 to 8s. With a fastest shutter-speed of 1/1600, fast action cannot be frozen. Night photography is possible using this digital camera due to its long exposure capability.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH8 features a 23-point Contrast-Detect AF system. Autofocus can continuously adjust according to subject distance. A Real-Time Autofocus Tracking System allows focus to follow a moving subject within the frame.

This camera does not feature any seals to protect it against adverse weather, dust and moisture. Care must be taken, just like with most electronics. There is no viewfinder on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH8 and no provision to add one.
