The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS80 features 8.1 megapixel resolution for superb image detail, and the Panasonic Intelligent Image Stabilization system with MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) and Intelligent ISO Control compensates for the effects of hand-shake and subject movement, making it possible to capture clear, crisp photos indoors, at night, during action shots, or when taking macro close-ups. The 3x optical zoom Lumix DC Vario lens provides a slightly wide equivalent focal length of 33mm - 100mm on a 35mm film camera, plus up to 4.8x extra optical zoom and 4x digital zoom provide tremendous image flexibility

In addition, the exterior of the DMC-LS80, incorporates a sleek ergonomic design that looks great and feels good in your hand, and the bright 2.5-inch LCD makes it easy to frame and view your images, and video clips. The user friendly menu and its graphical user interface have also been optimized using brighter colors for easier viewability. The DMC-LS80 is powered by two simple AA batteries, which can be purchased anywhere, and the camera also accepts large-capacity SDHC memory cards, giving users more flexibility in shooting and recording.


Key Features


8.1 Megapixel Resolution


With a resolution of 8.1 Megapixels, you'll be able to produce high resolution images that can yield photo quality 20 x 30" prints. The camera also has resolution options that are available in three different aspect ratios - 16:9 for displaying on a wide screen monitor or TV, 3:2 for making standard photo album prints, and 4:3 for more traditional image dimensions common in picture frames.

Lumix 3x Optical Zoom Lens


The Lumix DC Variot lens on the DMC-LS80 provides 3x optical zoom, and has a large, bright aperture of f/2.8. Images captured by the DMC-LS80 are crisp and clear - right to the edges, thanks to this superb lens. Plus, you can use the 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom together to produce a maximum of 12x zooming power.

Extended Optical Zoom


The Extended Optical Zoom, which minimizes the image degradation that normally occurs with the use of digital zoom, provides an additional 4.8x zooming power in addition to the 3x standard optical zoom (available with 3 megapixel or smaller images only).

Easy Zoom Button


With the first press of the Easy Zoom button the camera immediately gives you the maximum 3x power of the optical zoom. A second press delivers the maximum 4.8x power of the Extra Optical Zoom. This lets you bring your subject right up close, easily and comfortably, and is especially useful at sporting events and other outdoor activities when fast zoom may be needed to get a shot during quick paced action.

Reduce Blur with MEGA OIS and Intelligent ISO


Image blur is commonly caused by either movement of the camera or movement of the subject. Camera movement is corrected with the MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization) feature which uses built-in gyro-sensors to detect the smallest camera movement and instantaneously shifts a lens element in the opposite direction to compensate, giving you sharp, clear images without deterioration. Motion blur - caused when a subject moves as the shot is being taken - is minimized with Intelligent ISO Control. This system actually detects whether the subject is moving and automatically adjusts the ISO setting and shutter speed to minimize the motion blur effect while maintaining good exposure.
