Face Recognition 4 recognises faces from previous shots & allows them to be registered in order to assign prioritised settings for shooting when they next appear in frame. The FT1’s Intelligent Scene Selector automatically adjusts to ambient lighting conditions & selects from Normal, Portrait, Macro, Scenery & Low Light options to maximise the visual quality of a scene. The Beach & Surf mode automatically adjusts white balance for shooting on the beach, or in shallow water, & the Panorama Assist scene mode means that you can align consecutive shots to create dramatic panoramas. There are 26 scene modes for still images & 17 for motion format that optimise the cameras settings for a wide variety of shooting applications. The camera easily switches between still & video modes by the press of a button & the wind-cut function reduces background wind noise when shooting motion images outdoors. The Lumix DMC-FT1 is equipped with an energy-efficient Venus Engine HD that supports the camera’s many high-performance functions & delivers up to 340 shots per single charge of the battery, thanks to its low-power consumption. The Venus Engine HD makes it easy to view photos or movies recorded in AVCHD Lite by using the camera’s SD Memory Card in the Panasonic VIERA HDTV’s Image Viewer, or by connecting the camera via an optional HDMI mini cable to a VIERA Link™-equipped Panasonic VIERA HDTV. The Panasonic FT1 comes with PHOTOfun STUDIO 3.0 HD Edition software for viewing, editing & archiving your stored content. With PHOTOfun STUDIO 3.0 HD Edition, you can edit & remove unwanted segments of video clips recorded in AVCHD Lite & burn AVHD Lite content directly onto a DVD disc or convert it to MPEG2 format. The software also incorporates Face Recognition which detects any registered faces stored & makes viewing & archiving photos of a specific person much easier. Also use the Lumix DMC-FT1 to upload your video clips straight to You Tube. Leather Camera Case Designed to hold & protect your Panasonic Lumix digital camera, the soft inner lining ensures that the contents do not get scuffed or scratched whilst in transit.2 GB Capacity SD Memory Card The increasing data volume & expanding range of digital contents require high data reading & writing speeds. Panasonic SD Memory Cards achieve the data writing speed fast enough to Record MPEG2 video in fine mode. Large capacity is essential for use with various digital content types, especially high-quality MPEG2 video.
