The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 is an extraordinary compact camera that allows creative photographers to achieve highly expressive images with desirable effects. Developed with a large, 1/1.63-inch 10.1 megapixels ultra-high sensitivity CCD, it boasts cleaner and sharper images through minimizing noise generation and better colour reproduction in low lighting. A significant feature of the LX3 is the usage of a 24-60mm f/2.0-2.8 LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens that exceeds industry standards with its ultra-wide-angle perspective and large aperture brightness. High brightness at f/2.0 aperture brings beautiful soft focus to shots with shallow depth of field while the 24mm wide-angle setting is ideal for capturing sweeping landscapes.

In the A/S/M mode, you have direct access to settings for Aperture-priority, Shutter-priority and for Manual Exposure. Various artistic effects can be achieved experimenting with different aperture and shutter settings and in Manual Exposure mode, it further lets you set both the aperture and shutter speed together at the same time. A switch on the side of the lens barrel lets you quickly change the focus mode between MF, AF or Macro AF. The Movable MF Assist functions lets you move the part that is enlarged by the MF Assist function to any area of the frame you want. When you select Multi-point AF, you can choose and set the AF area out of 11 selectable points, preventing the system from mistakenly focusing on the area between two subjects in a vertical or horizontal composition. RAW format shooting allows extensive adjustments to image data and a high resolution 3-inch LCD helps frame your shots in stunning accuracy.
