Lumix LX10

Compact Digital Camera

The Lumix DMC-LX10 from Panasonic is a pocket-sized digital camera packed with impressive features. Thanks to a 20.1MP High Sensitivity MOS Sensor you'll be able to capture sharp stills, as well as UHD 4K video. Enjoy an extended sensitivity range up to ISO 25600, continuous shooting at up to 50 fps with an electronic shutter and 10 fps with the mechanical shutter, and work with the 3" LCD touchscreen that tilts up 180° for selfies. A Creative Panorama mode allows you to create seamless panoramic imagery by simply panning to capture wide views, and a range of Scene and Creative modes give you even more creative control over the look of your final image.

The LX10 is equiped with a fast Leica DC Vario-Summilux f/1.4-2.8 lens with a versatile 3x zoom range. This lens features an 11 element in 9 group design that incorporates 4 aspherical lenses with dual-sided aspherical surfaces, two aspherical ED lenses, and one UHR lens to minimise aberrations. With a 35mm equivalent range of 24-72mm and fast maximum aperture of f/1.4-2.8, it is possible to work in a wide variety of situations including low lighting conditions. This is combined with a 5-axis HYBRID O.I.S.+ system to reduce the appearance of camera shake, and a 49-area autofocus system for consistently sharp focus.

Record high-quality UHD 4K video at 30 or 24 fps at 100 Mbps using the MP4 format. Full HD 1080 video can also be recorded at 60p, 30p, 24p, or 60i in the AVCHD format, as well as Full HD and HD formats in the MP4 format. When recording 4K video, use of a UHS-3 memory card is recommended for continuous recording up to 15 minutes. A built-in stereo microphone records audio in either AAC or Dolby formats, and the micro-HDMI port can be used to output 4K video to an external monitor or recorder.

Working in conjunction with the 49-area contrast-detection focusing system, a Post Focus feature records imagery as a 4K MP4 file at 30 fps and shifts the specific point of focus throughout the burst shooting in order to offer a range of distinct focusing ranges to choose from. During playback, via the camera's touchscreen, you can then tap the specific region of the image you wish to be in focus and an 8MP JPEG file will be created. Multiple individual files with different points of focus can be created from the original burst, and focusing assist functions can also be used to gain even more precise control over the specific in-focus region. A built-in focus stacking feature lets you program the capture of a sequence of photos with shifting focus. This technique allows you to utilise the highest performing aperture as well as increase the depth of field in your final image.

All this is complimented by a metal exterior featuring an ergonomic grip and design. A physical lens control ring provides tactile control over frequently used settings, and the USB port can be used to charge the camera, ideal for working on the go. Built-in Wi-Fi is also available, allowing you to pair the LX10 with your smartphone or tablet running the Panasonic Image App for wireless image transferring and remote camera control.
