Cologne, Germany (September 19, 2016) – Panasonic is proud to introduce the LUMIX LX10, the ultimate compact camera, as the latest addition to the popular LX Series. The new LUMIX LX10 boasts the newly developed F1.4 high-speed LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMILUX lens and the large, 1-inch High Sensitivity MOS Sensor with 20.1-megapixel resolution. LUMIX LX10 performance has been enhanced by integrating a 4K video recording capability*1 and advanced functions for creative use in a sleek, compact body.
The LUMIX LX10’s LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMILUX lens features a fast F1.4-2.8 aperture (35mm camera equivalent: 24-72mm) with an aperture ring that allows direct, intuitive control of the aperture to take maximum advantage of this high-speed lens. Stunning macro shots with intricate detail can be taken with a minimum working distance of 3 cm.
The 1-inch MOS Sensor enables high-quality image recording with extraordinary detail. The combination of the High Sensitivity MOS Sensor and a Venus Engine achieves a maximum ISO 12,800 high sensitivity recording with high picture quality that goes beyond the limits of compact digital cameras. For even faster response and higher mobility, the LUMIX LX10 boasts a high-speed, high-precision AF with DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology*2, which shortens the focusing time. It calculates the distance to the subject by evaluating two images with different sharpness levels at a high 240 fps signal exchange speed. As a result, the LUMIX LX10 achieves an ultrahigh-speed AF of approx. 0.12 sec*3. This benefit increases as the focal length grows. The LUMIX LX10 offers high-speed burst shooting at 10 fps (AFS) / 6 fps (AFC) to capture fast-moving subjects in crisp focus. Thanks to the touch-control system, users can focus quickly right on the subject and even release the shutter with touch operation to capture fleeting photo opportunities.
The LUMIX LX10 records smooth, high-resolution QFHD 4K videos in 3840x2160 at 30p(60Hz) or 24p in MP4. Taking advantage of 4K technology, users can enjoy 4K PHOTO shots and a variety of derivative functions, such as the new Focus Stacking, Post Focus, Light Composition, and 4K Live Cropping. For more creative freedom, Creative Control, Creative Panorama and Photo Style options are available. The LUMIX LX10 is capable of shooting images in RAW format and developing them inside the camera.
The LUMIX LX10 integrates a 180-degree tiltable 1,040K-dot rear monitor with touch-control system. Equipped with a built-in lens cover, the seamless metallic profile features a stylish ring and dial of curved aluminum. It achieves both high-quality look and intuitive operation.
The 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S.+ (Optical Image Stabilizer Plus)*4 offers a versatile angle of view while suppressing handshake in both photo and video recording. The LUMIX LX10 also includes Wi-Fi® connectivity to offer a more flexible shooting experience and instant image sharing with easy operation.
The new Panasonic LUMIX LX10 packs an exceptional F1.4 high-speed lens and large, 1-inch MOS sensor in a sleek, stylish pocket-sized body to stimulate creativity anytime, anyplace as the ultimate compact camera with high-quality photos and videos.
