Panasonic Lumix LX1K DMC Digital Camera automatically starts with an edge. A LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT Lens delivers superior optics and an astouning 28mm equivalent focal length for a wider visual angle than most other digital-camera models offer. The Panasonic Lumix LX1 features a 4x optical zoom with a 28 to 112mm capability (35mm equivalent). This and a 1/1.65" diagonal CCD with 8.4 million effective pixels give you superb image quality over a wide shooting range. The Extended Optical Zoom, which minimizes the image degradation that normally occurs with digital zooming, gives you up to 5x zooming power. Normal hand jitter is a common cause for blurred results. The Panasonic Lumix LX1 has a built-in gyrosensor that detects any hand movement and relays a signal to a tiny microcomputer inside the camera, which instantly calculates the compensation needed. A linear motor then shifts the Optical Image Stabilizer lens as necessary to guide incoming light from the image straight to the CCD.

You won't even notice it working--all you'll see are the outstanding results. Panasonic Lumix LX1 has multiple aspect ratios result in different still picture resolutions - 4:3 Aspect Ratio (Still Image) up to 2880 x 2160; 3:2 Aspect Ratio (Still Image) up to 3248 x 2160; 16:9 Aspect Ratio (Still Image) up to 3840 x 2160.
