With the Intelligent Resolution technology, 3 areas outlines, detailed texture areas & soft gradation areas are automatically detected. Apart from the uniform enhancement of sharpness, this technology precisely performs signal processing pixel by pixel in the most effective way according to the area. As a result, images are clear & crisp in both photos & movies. The Intelligent Zoom extends the zoom ratio by approx. 1.3x maintaining the image quality even combining a digital zoom. A 5x optical can virtually extend to 6.5x equivalent. The DMC-FX70 features a touch-screen operation with the 3.0-inch LCD. While shooting, auto focus can be set at the desired part of the frame with just a touch. You can also operate the auto focus & shutter release at the same time. While playing back, you can quickly select an image to view by scrolling images. The Cosmetic Mode means that you can take portraits with different impression of skin; favoured skin colour (soft skin, natural skin, summer look) & degree of transparency of skin detail (low, standard, high).
