A variety of advanced functions, including Intelligent Auto mode, HD motion picture recording & HD component output, & slideshows complete with music. The newly developed Leica DC lens with 5x optical zoom boasts an 25mm ultra-wide angle of view that captures almost double the recording area at the same shooting distance compared with a conventional 35mm lens. For more intuitive operation, the DMC-FX500 has a hybrid control system that combines joystick control with touch-screen operation. Basic settings can be directly controlled by the joystick, & others extensive ones are finely adjusted by touch or by moving a slider on the screen with the finger or an included stylus-pen. Auto focus (AF) tracking is also new with the DMC-FX500. It continues tracking the subject even if it moves after the AF is set, which is especially helpful for catching active children or pets. The i A (Intelligent Auto) mode is a helpful shooting assist function that lets the user leave all the settings to the camera. Taking maximum advantage of this i A mode, users can go a step further to set auto focus & exposure on the desired subject by simply touching it on the screen. 2 GB Capacity SD Memory Card The increasing data volume & expanding range of digital contents require high data reading & writing speeds.
