Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS7 And DMC-FS15 Digital Cameras With Enhanced Intelligent Auto (iA) Technologies

Panasonic has announced the launch of its new 10.1 megapixel LUMIX DMC-FS7 and 12.1 megapixel LUMIX DMC-FS15 digital cameras, which incorporate an advanced Venus Engine IV processor, 2.7-inch intelligent LCD screen and enhanced Intelligent Auto (iA) Mode that adds AF tracking and Intelligent Exposure functions in addition to Mega O.I.S., Intelligent ISO Control, Intelligent Scene Selector and Face Detection technologies, aiming to enhance your photography experience.

According to Panasonic, “AF Tracking enables the user to ‘lock’ the focus onto a moving subject. The camera then automatically tracks the subject as it moves, keeping it in focus without the need to hold the shutter button halfway down. Additionally, Intelligent Exposure helps capture natural-looking images by suppressing blocked shadows and blown highlights. It continually monitors the light source in the shooting environment and automatically activates the backlight compensation function if it detects the light source is behind the subject.”
