Touch-screen Control / Easy Manual Operation

Touch-control Shooting

The DMC-FX700 gives you smooth, free, touch-control shooting. Your subject is instantly brought into auto focus by simply touching the image on the large, 3.0-inch, 230,000-dot LCD. You can also operate the auto focus and shutter release at the same time with just a touch and the Sonic Speed AF system provides fast, accurate AF performance for an entirely new style of shooting.

Touch Shutter

You can operate the auto focus and shutter release at the same time with just a touch. This kind of intuitive touch operation lets you easily catch even fast-action sports shots where your subject is on the move. It also makes it easy to capture decisive moments with optimal framing and settings.

Touch AF (Photo / Movie)

With the DMC-FX700, auto focus can be set at any part of the frame by simply touching the subject on the LCD. This lets you frame your shot easily and accurately. It's also helpful when you want to single out a subject from among other objects in the frame, to optimize focus.

Touch AF Tracking (Photo / Movie)

Touch the screen, and the DMC-FX700 locks on and automatically "tracks" the subject as it moves, keeping on adjusting the focus settings for best results.

Touch Operation in iA Mode (Photo / Movie)

In the iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode, simply touch the subject on the LCD and the DMC-FX700 automatically selects the optimal Scene Mode.

Touch Zoom

Full touch-screen operation on the DMC-FX700 makes zooming even easier. To pull your subject in quickly by zooming to maximum magnification, touch the T button. To make a more precise angle of view adjustment, use the touch lever. These two different functions give you quick and easy control from a single screen.

Touch Playback Control

The touch-screen operation excels not only for shooting but also for playing back images with outstanding visibility. You can drag the image across the screen with a finger to browse a collection of photos as you flip over the pages of the book.

Touch-scroll Playback

12/30 Multi Display

The 12/30 Multi Display shows you images in a small thumbnail format. The DMC-FX700 makes it smooth and easy to find the exact shot you want even from a large number of thumbnail images.

Touch-zoom Playback

Zoom Playback has become even more convenient. By simply touching the part to be enlarged, you can zoom in as much as max. 16x. The zoom area can be dragged in any of four directions for speedy and precise confirmation.

An Advanced GUI for a Touch-screen with Quick Menu

The DMC-FX700 lets you make all menu settings with touch control. In the shooting screen you can directly touch the icon to quickly change the setting. With the Quick Menu, a variety of frequently used settings, like photo size, ISO sensitivity and white balance, can be instantly retrieved and easily changed. That means you spend less time on fiddling with the camera and more time getting great shots.

Large, 3.0-inch, 230,000-dot High-resolution LCD

The DMC-FX700's large 3.0-inch LCD features a high 230,000-dot resolution, and a wide-viewing angle that lets you frame your shot in a variety of ways for both shooting and viewing. LUMIX's acclaimed Intelligent LCD function also automatically adjusts the brightness in 11 steps according to shooting conditions. This LCD provides sharp, clear images in virtually all shooting situations, ranging from nighttime to bright daylight scenes and from low-angle to high-angle shooting. And it lets you share the fun of viewing images with family and friends.

Intelligent LCD

Easy Manual Operation – A/S/M Mode

The DMC-FX700 provides easy-to-use manual controls. Using the Aperture-priority, which creates a soft-focused background effect or the Shutter-priority that, for example, produces a dynamic rendering of streaming water, you can explore your own creative expression at will. All control is possible via the touch-screen.

Finely Detailed White Balance Setting

2-axis adjustment feature gives you a finer white balance adjustment for Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Shade or Halogen conditions. It can also be used when adjusting the Color Temperature setting or White Set function. You can adjust with a reference to the horizontal axis for amber to blue and the vertical axis for green to magenta*.

* White balance adjustment is not possible in some modes.

Scene Mode for both Photos and Movies

The DMC-FX700, a hybrid still/motion image model, includes numerous Scene Modes for taking movies. Switching from still-image to movie shooting is seamless because the optimal Movie Scene Mode is automatically selected. The versatile Scene Mode range is a unique LUMIX feature that handles just about any situation and subject type. By simply selecting a Scene Mode, the camera makes the optimal settings for you automatically, so anybody can take superb photos and movies with ease.

Screen for taking the second shot

This is a handy function for aligning panorama photos using the included software PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.2 HD Edition. The afterimage of each previous shot is displayed, so you can use it to precisely line up the second and third shots.

Handheld Night Shot Mode (Photo)

The newly added Handheld Night Shot Mode shoots consecutive 10 shots to simulate over one picture detecting and fixing the position of the subjects. With a short shutter speed, exposure is accumulated while noise is averaged, to produce a blur-less, beautifully illuminated night shot even without using a tripod.

Select from 4 Aspect Ratios

In addition to 4:3, 3:2*1, and 16:9*2, you can now shoot with a 1:1*3 aspect ratio. This unique square frame adds to your image expression possibilities. The 16:9 ratio produces images that match the aspect ratio of an HDTV screen. Being able to match the aspect ratio to your subject and shooting intent gives you even greater control.
