Review Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 Camera Introduction:
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 belongs in the latter category and a dazzling model it is too: compact, light in weight and full of power. It seems to me that the fixed lens, compact camera game has spawned two sub species. Panasonic announces its new premium digital compact camera, the Lumix DMC-LX7, from the world-renowned LX series which has been long acclaimed by photography fans for its high picture quality and artistic descriptiveness. The new Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 is equipped with a fully re-designed lens, picture sensor and picture processing engine for superior performance and stunning picture quality. The Panasonic DMC-LX7 boosts a ten.1-megapixel MOS Sensor and the renowned Venus Engine picture processor. In addition, the Panasonic DMC-LX7 features a 24mm ultra-wide angle Leica DC Vario-Summilux lens with three.8x optical zoom.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 Camera Features:
Equipped with a newly developed 24mm ultra-wide angle Leica DC Vario-Summilux lens with three.8x optical zoom, the supreme lens of the Panasonic Lumix LX7 also features F1.4 brightness at wide-end and F2.3 at tele-end. The F1.4 brightness is about 400% as bright as an F2.8 lens. The extra-ordinarily rich amount of light allows for the use of higher shutter speed to capture stunningly clear, sharp, blur-free images in low light situations and also provides impressive expression to images by reproducing exquisite gradation and mellow defocus to elevate photography. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 Camera Charger adopts a new 1/1.7-inch ten.1-megapixel MOS Sensor that features an improved S/N ratio by one.5 dB compared with its predecessor, the Lumix DMC-LX5 which ends up in high resolution images with stunning clarity in high sensitivity recording and also in low ISO, reproducing rich gradation with wide dynamic range even when the situation is highly contrasted. The high performance Venus Engine of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 also boasts advanced signal processing. And Smart NR process keeps resolution high by optimizing the NR system applied to each part of a picture. The Multi-process NR quickly detects brightness in each portion of a picture and applies optimal noise reduction in multiple steps.
The Panasonic DMC-LX7 also incorporates a Creative Control mode that offers 16 filter options including; Soft Focus, Dynamic Monochrome, Impressive Art, Point Color, Cross Technique, Low Key, Toy Effect, Star Filter, Expressive, Retro, High Key, Sepia, Hello Dynamic, Miniature Effect & the new exclusive Radial Defocus & Smooth Defocus modes. Additionally, full manual control is available on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 Battery Charger so advanced users can enjoy more creative photography. The camera's top deck contains the mode dial, auto, Program, aperture & shutter priority, manual exposure, 15 scene modes, custom modes & a creative video mode that offers manual control of shutter speed & lens aperture. Beside the mode dial is the shutter button & zoom lever, on/off switch, video record & flash button.
Equipped with a brand spanking new three.0-inch 920,000-dot Clever LCD screen with tremendous high resolution & wide angle viewing, the Panasonic Lumix LX7's screen brightness automatically adjusts in 11 steps as surrounding brightness levels alter, ensuring simple visibility at all times. To enhance operability, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 has been equipped with an aperture ring, internal ND filter, focus lever & rear dial in order to control light source. The newly added Level Gauge detects horizontal or vertical angle of view which is helpful in keeping horizontal composition even when shooting in high or low angle.
In typical fashion I kicked on the power before reading the manual, selected Program as my exposure mode, and then spent some time scratching my head as to how to adjust the lens aperture. Voila! Twirl the lens ring! With the LX7 Panasonic Camera Charger you get direct access to the f numbers. Basically brilliant!
