PANASONIC
DMC-LC33/43
3.2- and 4-megapixel ‘Lumix’ Digital Cameras
Featuring compact size, light weight, and the superb image rendering of the Leica
DC Vario-Elmarit lens, the 3.2-megapixel DMC-LC33 and 4-megapixel LC43 make
it easy to take beautiful shots. They are equipped with Panasonic’s high-perform-
ance Venus Engine LSI for superb image quality and lightning-fast response.
Intelligent Multiple Metering Mode provides incredible exposures by helping to
improve brightness, color temperature and focus information. Mega Burst
Imaging allows you to take consecutive pictures at an incredibly quick rate—
even in high resolution. For added convenience, a Shooting Mode Dial gives you
a variety of settings to choose from to help give you the best shot possible based
on your shooting environment. They can also record moving images with audio
at a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, and record up to 10 seconds of audio with each still image.
Superb Image Quality and Super-Compact Size
The DC Vario-Elmarit lens inherits both its name
and outstanding quality from the Leica Elmarit
lens, renowned in the film camera world for its
superb performance and compact size. The DC
Vario-Elmarit lens system comprises 7 elements in
six groups, including three aspherical lenses.
Equivalent to a 35-105mm lens on a 35mm camera,
this lens is small and lightweight, yet achieves the
the fine rendering and vivid color reproduction for
which Leica lenses are world-famous for. The lens-
es are also treated using an advanced multi-coating
technology that helps to minimize flare and ghosts to allow highly transparent image
expression—even in poor shooting conditions, such as when there is backlighting.

The Leica Difference
3.2 and 4-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.
◆ They also incorporate a primary color
filter that the CCD’s rich, expressive
gradation. Because this filter allows in
about 50% more light than the primary
color filter normally used, it provides
higher sensitivity.
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
exposure in difficult conditions, such as
shooting against a bright background.
They also offer a spot metering mode.
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 conven-
tional 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 concurrent-
ly, for an overall quick camera response.
Leica DC Vario-Elmarit Lens
◆ The top compact lens in the Leica family,
the DC Vario-Elmarit lens combines small
size with superb image rendering.
◆ 3x zoom lens system is equivalent to a
35mm to 105mm lens
◆ Three aspherical lenses
◆ F2.8-F4.9 brightness
◆ Focal distance of 5.8mm to 17.4mm
◆ Multi-coating technology minimizes
ghosting caused by excessive light
◆ Fast shutter speeds
Built-in Flash
◆ Built-in multi-mode flash puts a range of
techniques at your command. Select
from Auto mode, Auto with red-eye
reduction, Slow sync and Slow Sync with
red-eye reduction for night scenes,
forced on/off.
