The 12 Megapixel machine comes with ultra-zoom lens of 16x power enabling ease of distance photography. When it comes to reliability in imaging products, Panasonic is a name one can reckon upon.



Build & Handling

The camera is a metallic bodied construction which is instilled with power on/off switch on the top; just aside that is a one touch recording button for shifting to movie recording mode.

There’s a dedicated mode dial for enabling various modes of still image shooting including Program, Creative effects, 3D, Custom effects, Scene Modes, Shutter, Manual and Aperture. There’s a dedicated Exposure button which can be used during Manual/Aperture/shutter modes.

On the front, the camera comes with Polished metal which helps in comfortable gripping but on the rear side, raised dots makes it little risky for grip – for that a wrist band is suggested.
