25mm

Panasonic introduced the Lumix DMC-FX37, 10.1-megapixel with 25mm equivalent wide-angle LEICA DC lens and a 5x optical zoom (equivalent to 25mm to 125 mm on a 35mm film camera), which captures almost double the viewing space at the same shooting distance compared to ordinary 35mm cameras.

Panasonic DMC-FX37 : a smart camera

Panasonic's iA (intelligent auto) mode, which makes it easy for anyone to take photos, has been enhanced. The AF Tracking function automatically tracks the subject once the AF has been set even if the subject moves around, making it easier to capture well-focused photos. The FX37 continually monitors the light source and automatically activates the backlight compensation function if it detects that the light source is behind the subject. Face detection accuracy has also been increased, allowing continuous AF/AE adjustment even if a face moves or turns sideways to the camera. The Intelligent Exposure function helps capture natural-looking, true-to-life images by suppressing blocked shadows and blown highlights. For image processing, the FX37 features the Venus Engine IV. The engine allows the FX37 to shoot up to approx. 310 photos (CIPA) on a single battery charge thanks to improvements in power efficiency.

The FX37 offers a number of other functions that expand photographic possibilities including new Scene mode. Pin Hole and Film Grain mode create film-camera-like effects, and Flash Burst mode allows continuous emission of flash on burst shooting. Another new mode is the Transform mode which give the subject special transformation effect to look funny. Additional convenient functions that help post shooting include Image Leveling and batch resizing,

Face detection and AF tracking

Detection function can find up to 15 faces in the frame and adjusts the focus and exposur. Face detection accuracy has been increased in the FX37 to now provide continuous adjustment of the focus and exposure even if the face is turned sideways to the camera. Combined with AF Tracking, Face Detection helps users capture special moments, including the fleeting expressions on the faces of active children. Plus, with the FX37, the red-eye effect can be digitally corrected automatically when it occurs due to the use the flash.
