For the image processing LSI, the newly developed Venus Engine is equipped with the DMC-LX5 featuring even higher-speed, higher-performance while compiling the Intelligent Resolution technology. It enables the recording of beautiful photo and high-definition movie with higher quality signal processing. The triple CPUs in this imaging engine dramatically speed up processing while achieving exceptional noise reduction performance.
The Venus Engine's excellent energy efficiency supports long-time AVCHD Lite movie recording, and allows the output of both images and sounds via HDMI.
The Sonic Speed AF system in the DMC-LX5 includes numerous re-engineering enhancements, including a higher-speed actuator, optimized algorithms and parallel software processing. The result is fast and accurate AF performance. You can quickly get moving subjects in focus, such as when you're shooting sports scenes.
The redesigned algorithm makes it possible to speed up the AF time by reducing it approx. 23% at wide-end, which is the fastest level of speed in class.
・Firmware must be updated to the latest version 2.0.

The parallel processing of software resulted in ultra high-speed start-up.
The shutter release time lag is as short as approx. 0.007 second, making it easy to capture sudden, spur-of-the-moment photo opportunities.
The advanced image processing technology “Intelligent Resolution*" is incorporated in the Venus Engine for the DMC-LX5. With the Intelligent Resolution technology, 3 areas - outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation areas - are automatically detected and optimum signal processes are performed to each area.
Apart from the uniform enhancement of sharpness, the innovative technology Intelligent Resolution precisely performs signal processing pixel by pixel in the most effective way for it. As a result, images are naturally clear and crisp in both photo and movie recording.
* The Intelligent Resolution function turns ON in the iA Mode or in some Scene Modes.
In other cases, turn ON the Intelligent Resolution from the menu to activate it.
You can cut out a clear still image from a movie in the camera thanks to the Intelligent Resolution technology.
The Intelligent Resolution technology realizes the Intelligent Zoom*, which virtually extends the optical zoom ratio to its 1.3x equivalent (approx.) maintaining the picture quality even combining the digital zoom. This means the 3.8x optical can virtually extend to 5.0x.
* The Intelligent Zoom function turns ON in the iA Mode or in some Scene Modes. In other cases, turn ON the Intelligent Zoom from the menu to activate it.
The graininess that results from picture noise and the flatness that sometimes comes with noise reduction measures are major concerns when shooting at high sensitivity levels. The Intelligent Resolution minimizes noise to produce sharp, clear images.
The High ISO NR (Noise Reduction) Mode is added for offering deliberate noise reduction specially to the images shot at high ISO1600 / 3200 sensitivity.
・Firmware must be updated to the latest version 2.0.

The energy-saving Venus Engine image processing engine and the efficient, rechargeable lithium-ion battery work together to extend the shooting time of the DMC-LX5. This lets users take approx. 400 shots on a single battery charge*.
* Based on the CIPA standard.
• ID–Security Li-ion Battery
The DMC-LX5 comes with a function to check whether the battery and unit can be safely used together. • Batteries made by other companies which have been certified by Panasonic may be used with these units, but we offer no guarantee as to the quality, performance or safety of such batteries. • Exercise care when purchasing batteries. Many fake or imitation batteries have been found among those sold at unusually low prices and those which customers cannot check for themselves before purchasing. • Please confirm the latest information about batteries on the following website.
