3.3-Megapixel ‘Lumix’ Digital Camera
Quick, comfortable shooting and a slender form. Beautiful pictures and
outstanding mobility. The super slim and stylish DMC-F1 features a 3.3-
megapixel CCD, Leica DC Vario-Elmarit zoom lens with 3x optical
zoom, Mega Burst shooting and a host of functions that deliver a great
shot every time. It offers auto exposure bracketing, eight shooting
modes, high sensitivity to ISO 400, macro mode down to 4˝ and unlimit-
ed 320 x 240 movie mode. Lightweight, with a stylish design, the camera
features an aluminum alloy body with a smart circular brush finish.
The DC Vario -Elmarit lens used in the DMC-F1 is the most compact member of the Leica family and is widely recognized for
its superb image rendering. The lens incorporates industry-leading lens technologies, including a sophisticated
multi-coating
process. The lens provides excellent gradation with subtle shadowing
and a delicate soft focus.
3x Leica Zoom Lens
◆ The DMC-F1 features Leica’s DC Vario-
Elmarit lens for outstanding images and
compact size. The powerful lens uses
three aspherical lenses to boost optical
performance and advaced multi-coating
to minimize ghosts and flare. The 3x
optical zoom is equivalent to a 35-105mm
in 35mm.
3.3-Megapixel CCD
◆ Panasonic’s new, high-performance CCD
that takes full advantage of the Leica DC
lens’ superb image rendering capability.
A gapless lens design combines with an
inner-layer lens to minimize light loss
while maintaining ultra-compact
dimensions. The result is outstanding
sensitivity and detailed images with
subtle nuances.
Venus Engine LSI
◆ Generates the luminance signal of the
primary color CCD using all three colors
(red, green, blue) for improved diagonal
image resolution, compared to
conventional CCDs that use only one
color (green) to do so, resulting in rich,
expressive images. This LSI also handles
image processing, LCD functions, and
writing to the memory card concurrently,
for an overall quick camera response.
Intelligent
Multiple Metering Mode
◆ Provides incredible exposures by
improving brightness, color temperature
and focus information. To assure perfect
exposure, multi-metering mode divides
the frame into 60 blocks and then
determines the exposure setting
according to the brightness distribution,
color temperature, and focus information
for all 60 blocks.
◆ Added to this is an intelligent metering
function that helps to assure proper expo-
sure in difficult conditions, such as shoot-
ing against a bright background. They
also offer a spot metering mode
Viewfinder and LCD Monitor
◆ Optical real-image viewfinder with diopter
adjustment and easy-to-see 1.5˝ 114,000
pixel LCD with three-step adjustable
brightness to display clear, sharp images
with crisp detail. A 16x Playback Zoom,
makes it easy to check that your subject
is in sharp focus.
High Performance
◆ Offers a variety of settings to choose from
to help give you the best shot possible
based on your shooting environment.
◆ Picture adjustments include Natural,
Standard and Vivid, color effects include
cool, warm and black & white.
◆ Selection of white balance modes include
Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Halogen and White
Set
◆ Auto bracketing automatically changes
the exposure of each shot in a series of
three consecutive shots.
◆ In Megaburst mode the DMC-F1 can
shoot upt to 8 images at up to 4 frames
per second and up to five images in fine
mode.
◆ Movie mode lets you record unlimited 320
x 240 pixel movie clips at 10 frames per
second with audio. A 64MB SD Memory
Card can hold up to 6 minutes of video, a
256MB card up to 24 minutes.
◆ Small and stylish, the DMC-F1 is easy to
take anywhere. Slip it in a pocket, or sim-
ply hang it around your neck. And it is
just wide enough to feel solid and stable
in the hand, so that it resists hand-shake.

minimize weight—the DMC-F1 weighs just
5.3 oz. while assuring excellent durability.
