Standout features include iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode for hassle-free yet high-quality photography, MEGA O.I.S. for suppressing hand-shake blur, a versatile 28mm Wide-angle lens, HD video and more.
With a 14.1 Megapixel CCD Sensor and high-speed, high-performance Venus Engine VI, the Lumix DMC-S3 is ready to capture high-quality images. The Venus Engine VI offers advanced signal processing and offers super-fast response times. This together with a shutter release time lag as short as approximately 0.007 seconds and Sonic Speed AF (Auto Focus) means that you’re ready for sudden, on the sport photo opportunities. Plus the Panasonic DMC-S3 has a High Sensitivity mode that allows you to shoot at up to ISO 6400 and get the best from dark locations without requiring flash.
The Lumix DMC-S3 packs an impressive 28mm wide-angle LUMIX DC VARIO lens with 4x optical zoom into a compact body. The versatile lens offers a wider angle of view compared to 35mm lenses, which you’ll find in most cameras, and it is ideal for capturing group shots, shooting indoors and for landscape photography. Plus the DMC-S3 offers an Extra Optical Zoom function that extends zoom power to 8.4x, allowing you to create 3MP shots that bring your subject closer.
Wave goodbye to hand-shake blur
The Panasonic DMC-S3 also boasts MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabiliser) technology to compensate for the blurring caused by hand-shake. The technology helps to ensure clear, sharp images without image deterioration and without being affected digitally. It also means that you can shoot in dimly lit rooms or in the evening and produces great results with macro shots and zoom shots, which are frequently susceptible to hand-shake.
You can use the Panasonic Lumix DMC-S3 to shoot spectacular 1280 x 720p HD video and at 30 fps. The camera features an integrated LUMIX Image Uploader, so you can share your video and photos on sites such as Facebook and YouTube and via a PC, in a flash! Simply select what you want to share, connect the camera and follow the simple instructions, you can even add comments and notify your friends via e-mail.
iA - Making it easier than ever to take beautiful photos every time
The Panasonic DMC-S3 features Panasonic’s popular iA (Intelligent Auto) which you can activate to get great results at all times. iA incorporates 4 detection functions and these work automatically and simultaneously to optimise your settings. For example Intelligent ISO Control detects subject movement and optimises the shutter speed and ISO accordingly, Face Detection AF/AE detects faces in the frame and corrects unwanted red-eye and Intelligent Scene Selector detects scene conditions. iA lets you create great photos with ease and is ideal for point and shoot photography.
On the back of the DMC-S3 is a large 2.7-inch LCD with impressive 230,000-dot resolution. The display reproduces fine detail, allowing you to assess focus with ease and share your photos and video with friends. The display also has a handy High-angle Mode for times when you wish to view it from a low angle such as when you’re taking photos over a crowd. Plus the screen brightness is automatically adjusted for you, in relation to the surrounding
brightness levels.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-S3 is ideal if you’re looking for a compact, user-friendly camera to capture everyday moments with ease.
