Mega O.I.S. - Fast, Precise Image Stabilisation
Jitter from shaky hands is far and away the biggest single cause of blurry shots. Panasonic's advanced Mega Optical Image Stabiliser technology takes out the shake, compensating for any slightest human movement, to achieve the highest possible image quality picture.
2.5" Large Polycrystalline TFT LCD - Easy to see the picture
This high quality, 114,000-pixel display makes it easy to see your subject. For easier viewing when shooting outdoors on a sunny day, press the Power LCD button to boost the backlighting by about 40%.
Super Fast Shutter Response
Multi-task image processing in the Venus Engine Plus LSI has accelerated response speed, giving you more comfortable shooting with a release time lag of 0.008 second minimum*. *Not including the time for AF.
Long Battery Life - More than twice the number of shots
The Venus Engine Plus LSI cuts power consumption by about 70% of the Venus Engine II, and our new lithium ion battery offers about 60% higher capacity*. These two features work together to drive the FX8 much longer than the FX7, so you can take about 300 photos (CIPA***) with a single charge.
