2.5-inch, 230,000-dot High-resolution Intelligent LCD

The 2.5-inch LCD has a total of 230,000 dots for high resolution. The DMC-LS85 features the Intelligent LCD. The Auto Power LCD function adjusts the backlight brightness in 11 steps according to the ambient light intensity. At the highest of these 11 steps, the LCD backlight becomes approx. 1.4 times brighter than normal. This makes both shooting and viewing photos easier and more convenient.

High-angle Mode

The High-angle Mode makes the display extremely easy to view from a low angle, for example, when taking photos by raising your hand upward to capture the subject over the crowd.

Selectable Display Size

The display size can be set to Standard or Large.

The buttons and main display of the DMC-LS85 are large and easy to see, making it easier for everyone to use.

Scene Mode

The Scene Mode function lets the camera make the optimal settings for you automatically, so anybody can take superb photos with ease. The versatile Scene Mode range, which handles just about any situation and subject type, is a major LUMIX feature. And to make it even simpler to use, the icons and display are designed for easy visibility.

High-speed Burst Mode

In High-speed Burst Mode*, the DMC-LS85 can take approx. 4.5 frames per second at 3-megapixel resolution, which is highly sufficient for photo prints. This is great for capturing fast-moving sports or racing scenes. You can take a series of shots, then choose the one you like the best and delete the rest.
(Note that the focus and exposure are fixed at the first frame.)

* In 3-megapixel (4:3), 2.5-megapixel (3:2), 2-megapixel (16:9) recording. The consecutive shooting speed varies depending on the memory card. The number of recordable picture depends on the memory card size, battery life, picture size, and compression.

9-area AF

When using 9-area AF, the camera automatically determines the most appropriate AF area from the nine points. This ensures accurate focusing even for difficult compositions. You can also select the AF setting from Face AF or 1-area AF.

In Motion Picture mode, the length of recording time depends on the capacity of the SDHC / SD Memory Card. (Up to the equivalent of 2 GB per motion picture recording.) We recommend using a high speed SDHC / SD Memory Card with "10 MB/s" or greater displayed on the package. Some lens movement sounds may be recorded.
For Europe, motion images can be recorded continuously for up to 15 minutes.
