Features
|
|
The DMC-LX5 is equipped with a newly developed f/2.0 24mm ultra wide-angle* LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens with even higher resolution. The super bright, high quality lens is redesigned for extension of the optical zoom from the DMC-LX3’s 2.5x (35mm camera equivalent: 60mm) to 3.8x (35mm camera equivalent: 90mm) to be even more versatile for snapshots including portraits. The f/2.0 lens is about twice as bright as the f/2.8 lens, itself generally considered a bright lens. The result is higher shutter speed can be used to capture stunningly clear, sharp, blur-free images in lower lighting situation. |
|
|
The 24mm ultra wide-angle lens* - rare on a compact camera - gives you a wider range of composition possibilities. The super-high-quality LEICA DC VARIO- SUMMICRON lens minimizes distortion at the wide end, so you can get stunning, true-to-life images with outstanding resolution and detail. The DMC-LX5 captures approx. 213% larger viewing space compared to that of normal 35mm cameras, and even approx. 136% larger compared to that of 28mm wide-angle lens. |
|
|
Everyone has had an experience of taking a photo at night and hoping to capture all the memories and beauty, only to be disappointed at the poor result. Panasonic has worked on the low-frequency vibration hand-shake component, which is physically generated when pressing the shutter button or when shooting at night with a slow shutter speed. The POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) nearly doubles the hand-shake correction power of conventional MEGA O.I.S. You get bright photos without blurring even from handheld shooting at slow shutter speeds. |
|
|
For the image processing LSI, the newly developed Venus Engine FHD is equipped with the DMC-LX5 featuring even higher-speed, higher-performance while compiling the Intelligent Resolution technology. It enables the recording of beautiful photo and high-definition movie with higher quality signal processing.

The Expressive World of
the 24-90mm f/2.0-3.3 LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON Lens |
|
|
24mm* F2.0 shots
The high brightness of the fully open F2.0 aperture lends a beautiful soft focus to shots with a shallow depth of field. It is especially effective for macro shots of flowers, insects, or intricate objects.
This setting is also ideal for dimly lit scenes that require greater exposure, such as deep, natural forests, dimly lit historic buildings, and artwork displays.
In addition, the DMC-LX5 lets you get as close as 1 cm to your subject.
* 35mm camera equivalent.
|
|
|
90mm* F3.3 shots
The brightness of the fully open F3.3 aperture combines with the 90mm telephoto to produce optimal portraits. The high resolution and excellent contrast also express fine details, with natural gradation for smoother complexions.
* 35mm camera equivalent.
|
|
|
24mm Ultra Wide-angle Lens
The 24mm ultra wide-angle lens* - rare on a compact camera - gives you a wider range of composition possibilities. The super-high-quality LEICA DC VARIO- SUMMICRON lens minimizes distortion at the wide end, so you can get stunning, true-to-life images with outstanding resolution and detail. The DMC-LX5 captures approx. 213% larger viewing space compared to that of normal 35mm cameras, and even approx. 136% larger compared to that of 28mm wide-angle lens.
|
|
Multi Aspect Ratios
Conventional cameras generally use almost the entire CCD area when recording an image. The DMC-LX5, however, employs a 1/1.63-inch CCD with a total resolution of 11.3-megapixel. Using only about a 10.1-megapixel area of this large CCD makes it possible to give three aspect ratios – 16:9, 3:2, and 4:3 – the same angle of view with lens settings from 24mm to 90mm (35mm camera equivalent). And rather than digitally producing "simulated" images, the DMC-LX5 captures the actual, real-life image for each one of the aspect ratios at the ultra-wide 24mm setting.
|
|
|
1/1.63-inch 10.1-megapixel High Sensitivity CCD
The predecessor DMC-LX3 played a big role to cease the pixel count war by adopting 1/1.63-inch CCD for 10.1-megapixel recording to realize the unprecedented image quality with a compact digital camera and even to establish a new premium compact camera category in the market. The CCD in the DMC-LX5 which was highly acclaimed from the specialists worldwide is redesigned to achieve the further expansion of dynamic range by increasing the sensitivity by approx. 31% and the saturation by approx.38%*1.
The result is a high resolution, noise-less images even in high sensitivity recording and richly reproduced gradation in highly contrasted situations with the exquisitely wide dynamic range. Taking advantage of the high sensitivity CCD and the brightness of the lens, minimum illumination of the DMC-LX5 is as low as 3 lux in movie recording. Also, the maximum setting is ISO 12800*2 enabling shooting in extremely dark places.
*1 Panasonic in-house comparison with the DMC-LX3.
*2 UP to ISO 3200 in full resolution. Over ISO 6400 in 3-megapixel recording mode.
|
|
|
Aspect Switch with 1:1 Aspect Mode
The aspect can be changed directly with the aspect switch on the lens barrel among 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 and the new 1:1. The 1:1 aspect ratio, unique square frame, adds to your image expression possibilities. The concentrated shooting area also draws emphasis to your intended shots and produces highly distinctive results.
Plus, the Aspect Bracket lets the camera take an image in all aspect ratios simultaneously, so you can choose the best one after shooting.
|
|
5.0x Intelligent Zoom / 6.7x Extra Optical Zoom
Thanks to the newly incorporated Intelligent Resolution technology, the Intelligent Zoom is available with the DMC-LX5 which extends the zoom ratio by approx. 1.3x maintaining the picture quality even combining a digital zoom. This means the 3.8x optical can virtually extend to 5.0x equivalent. Furthermore, the Extra Optical Zoom function that extends zoom power to 6.7x* by using the center part of the large CCD to bring subjects even closer.
* At 3-megapixel resolution or less. |
|
|
Step Zoom
The Step Zoom function, zoom range can be set to 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 70mm or 90mm* via the easy menu as you change the fixed focal length lens with D-SLR. Max. 800mm is available if combining the Intelligent Zoom and digital zoom.
* 35mm camera equivalent. |

Intelligent Resolution Technology
The image quality is greatly enhanced thanks to the new image processing technology “Intelligent Resolution*1”, incorporated in the Venus Engine FHD for the DMC-LX5. By detecting the signals whether they are at edges of the subject, they compose detailed texture or just a soft gradation first and give appropriate enhancement to the edges and textured areas respectively. Unlike the uniform enhancement of sharpness, the innovative Intelligent Resolution precisely performs optimum signal processing to give a whole image outstandingly natural clearness with fine details. As a result, images are naturally clear and crisp in movie recording as well as photo recording.
*1 The Intelligent Resolution function turns ON in the iA Mode or in some Scene Modes. In other cases, turn ON the Intelligent Resolution from the menu to activate it.
*2 Approx. Maximum recording time, HD movie recording at 720P. The length of recording time depends on the capacity of the SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card. • For Europe, motion images can be recorded continuously for up to 29 minutes 59 seconds. The maximum continuous recording time (up to 29 minutes 59 seconds) is displayed on the screen. • Use a card with SD Speed Class* with "Class 4" or higher when recording motion images in AVCHD Lite. Also, use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 6" or higher when recording motion images in Motion JPEG. *SD Speed Class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.
*3 QuickTime Motion JPEG. Continuous recording exceeding 2GB is not possible when recording Motion JPEG.
*4 These are standard times taken at a temperature of 23°C (73.4°F) and a humidity of 50%. The time available for recording varies depending on the environment, the interval between recordings, and the manner of use. Actual recordable time is the time available for recording when repeating actions such as switching the power supply [ON]/[OFF], starting/stopping recording, zoom operation, etc |
