Product Description
10.1 Megapixels, Interchangeable Lens Digital SLR Camera, LEICA Lens. Digital Zoom.
The DMC-L10 features an advanced 2.5-inch free angle LCD for full time live view that offers 270 degree rotation and a versatile shooting style. A 10.1-megapixel Live MOS Sensor provides the beautiful images with delicate gradation and wide dynamic range. The superb image processor, Venus Engine III, boasts a high quality image rendering and high speed response.
The DMC-L10 adopts the open format of the Four Thirds system for its lens mount because it is developed exclusively for digital SLR. Drawing on leading technologies while defying any stereotype ideas in SLR cameras, Panasonic aims to provide an emotional excitement of true-to-life photographic images to be in line with the digital age.
The DMC-L10 comes equipped with a LEICA D VARIO-ELMAR 14-50mm / F3.8-5.6 / MEGA O.I.S. lens designed specifically for a digital SLR camera to be sold as a kit, the DMC-L10K.
The full-time live view further gives users more shooting flexibility and greater convenience that have never been achieved by conventional digital SLR cameras without live view capability. The DMC-L10 incorporates a Face Detection and Intelligent ISO Control function. The face detection system detects human faces and sets a focus and appropriate exposure to capture a face clearly and well exposed. The Intelligent ISO Control function detects and meters the movement of the subject and sets the suitable ISO setting and the shutter speed according to the amount of the movement to suppress the generation of motion-blur in the picture.
A high speed, high precision TTL full aperture light metering by 49 zones multi-pattern sensing system is available for shooting through the viewfinder. On the other hand for the shooting with live view, exposure can be metered and set using the Live MOS sensor for light metering to take the whole picture information and evaluate it by 256 zones multi-pattern sensing system and gives a well-balanced exposure as a whole image.
The DMC-L10 incorporates a variety of functions that build a bridge for the potential user of digital SLR to take a first step in a world of real creative photography or for existing users who have not been able to take best advantage of their conventional digital SLR cameras. Spinning the Mode Dial on top of the camera directly points you to the frequently used settings including Auto mode, each P/A/S/M mode, and five frequently-used scene modes and one custom mode that you can pre-set for your own preference.
The scene modes that can be directly activated by the mode dial includes Portrait, Scenery, Macro, Sports and Night Portrait mode and each of them further has options of finer settings to be called Advanced Scene Mode, which allows users easily take intended pictures according to the situation or specific photographic idea. The DMC-L10 is especially designed for the consumer who is familiar with compact digital cameras and would like to experience the enjoyment of digital SLR photography, but also for the ambitious photographer who wishes to take more beautiful pictures.
