Features
A Pleasure to Own, a Joy to Use
Designed for easy, creative shooting, and high-performance in low-light conditions,
the DMC-LX3 features a F2.0 24mm LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens, 10.1 mega pixels
and an ultra-sensitive 1/1.63-inch CCD developed specifically for this model.
By combining a high-quality lens and sensor ready for a variety of shooting conditions
with a wide-range of accessories and manual controls, the DMC-LX3 is ideal for
professional photographers and serious amateurs looking for a compact digital
camera that furthers their creative photography.
More than Just a High Pixel Count. The Highest-Quality Images Ever from
a Compact Digital Camera
At the heart of the DMC-LX3, is its 1/1.63-inch CCD. Making the intentional choice
to limit the number of mega pixels to 10.1 on its CCD, Panasonic was able to give
more space for each pixel and also redesigned the peripheral circuits and other
components to further minimize noise generation. As a result, sensitivity is almost
40 percent higher and saturation is increased by 35 percent, when compared to
Panasonics 10 MP digital cameras, giving the DMC-LX3 outstanding image quality
and a wide dynamic range, and meeting the demand for a camera that works optimally
in low-light environments. The CCD is also capable of reproducing images in three
aspect ratios 4:3, 3:2 or 16:9. The new Multi Aspect mode allows the camera to
take an image in all three aspect ratios simultaneously, allowing you to choose
the version that best suits their needs.
Large Aperture F2.0, 24mm Wide-Angle
Another major upgrade to the DMC-LX3 is the F2.0 24mm ultra wide-angle LEICA DC
VARIO-SUMMICRON lens. The F2.0 is about twice as bright as a F2.8 lens and can
shoot at higher shutter speeds to capture clear, blur-free images in dimly lit
environments. In addition, the 24mm lens captures approximately a 213 percentlarger
viewing angle than a normal 35mm camera and 136 percent larger compared to a 28mm
wide-angle lens. The lens unit consists of eight elements in six groups with four
aspherical lenses with four aspherical surfaces. As a result of the F2.0 lens,
the DMC-LX3 produces high resolution and minimal distortion and artifacts such
as chromatic aberrations, ghosting and flaring.
Shooting Functions that Invite Creativity
The DMC-LX3 features a Film mode with six color types and three types of monochrome
selections. Much like selecting from different film types, this function gives
you the flexibility and creative freedom to take more expressive digital photos.
Also, when using the Multi-film mode, the DMC-LX3 produces a maximum of three
images from a RAW file for you to compare the different textures. Another new
feature is the multiple-exposure feature, which lets you create artistic photos
by overlaying up to three consecutive images; while still viewing the last image
on the 3.0-inch LCD screen. The LCD on the DMC-LX3 is new and improved with a
460,000-dot high resolution.
