SECAUCUS, N.J, April 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic is
pleased to introduce 10 new exclusive designs for the sleek LUMIX
DMC-XS1 (XS1). This digital camera combines high picture
quality and a host of creative options in Panasonic's slimmest body
yet to make photography more artistic and fun.
Each extraordinary design pattern dresses the LUMIX XS1 even
more stylishly for trend-conscious consumers, making them an ideal
choice for a unique gift for families or friends. The new design
patterns are based on the following six concepts:
- Pop Art – cheerful design with colorful graphics
- Gift Wrapping – designed in the motif of beautiful gift
wrapping
- Floral Nature – designed in the motif of plants and
flowers
- Digital – urban design with digital typography
- Texture – high fashion design with faux texture
- Japanese Traditional – design with Japanese traditional
Kanji characters
But, the LUMIX XS1 is more than a style statement; it is a
compact digital camera that delivers high quality photo / video
recording. It incorporates a 24mm wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens
(equivalent to 24 mm to 120 mm on a 35mm camera) for versatile
image composition in an ultra flat body profile, which is made
possible with Panasonic's advanced optical design and development
technology. A variety of special effects that add fun to the
shooting experience are integrated in the LUMIX XS1 – Creative
Control, Creative Retouch and Creative Panorama. With a motion
picture button on the top of the camera, 720p HD video recording
can be started instantly. For beginners, iA (Intelligent Auto) mode
allows users leave everything to the camera to take beautiful
images with its MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), Intelligent
ISO Control, Intelligent Scene Selector, Intelligent Exposure and
Face Detection. Once you enter the iA mode, these multi-capable
functions occur automatically, so that you can shoot without the
concern of adjusting settings when conditions change. The LUMIX XS1
also comes with Auto Retouch that applies retouching to the photo
to help improve its quality. In addition, the camera uses a
microSD Memory Card and AC / USB power charging.
The ability to order the LUMIX DMC-XS1 in 10 new designs will
