Lumix® 8.1-Megapixel Digital Camera with 18x Optical Zoom, Intelligent Auto Technology, 28mm Wide-Angle LEICA Lens and 2.5" Diagonal LCD

Features

Big Zoom, Small Camera
Experience the power of an incredible 18x optical zoom in a 8.1-megapixel camera that fits in the palm of your hand. From vast landscapes to super telephoto shots, the DMC-FZ18 gives you crisp, stunning images using a 28mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens. For macro shots, the wide-angle setting lets you shoot all the way down to one centimeter from your subject, while the telephoto setting can be used up to one meter (3.28 feet) from your subject. With the Extended Optical Zoom function, zoom power is boosted to around 28.7x (in 3-megapixel resolution mode).

Intelligent Auto Technology Delivers Perfect Shots Every Time
Say good-bye to complicated settings. Just turn the dial to iA and the DMC-FZ18 will not only help eliminate blurring from hand-shake or subject movement, but it will also detect up to 15 faces and automatically select the focus, exposure and scene modes for the best results.

MEGA O.I.S. Prevents Blurring from Hand-Shake
Camera shake is the number one cause of blurry, out-of-focus pictures. That's why Panasonic Lumix digital cameras come equipped with advanced Optical Image Stabilization (MEGA O.I.S.) that detects even the tiniest camera movement, then automatically adjusts the lens to compensate. With MEGA O.I.S., you're ensured sharp, clear pictures every time without any loss of image detail or clarity.

Intelligent ISO Control Helps Prevent Motion Blur
Thanks to Intelligent ISO, Panasonic Lumix digital cameras capture crisp, clear images even when your subject moves as you shoot. Advanced subject-motion detection circuitry senses when your subject is moving and raises the camera's ISO sensitivity and shutter speed settings accordingly. This suppresses motion blur and also makes it easy to shoot scenes with fast moving action.

Face Detection for Blur-Free Portraits
The new Face Detection function automatically chooses the optimal settings to make sure faces appear well-lit and in focus. This advanced technology can detect up to 15 faces in a scene, and will even automatically readjust the settings if their positions change. In Intelligent Auto Mode, the camera automatically begins focusing even before you press the shutter button, so you'll never miss an opportunity for a great shot.

Scene Detection Chooses the Mode That Best Fits the Situation
With your Panasonic Lumix digital camera in Intelligent Auto Mode, the Intelligent Scene Selector will sense the ambient conditions and automatically select either the Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait or Night Scenery mode accordingly. With the camera choosing the settings for you, you'll get beautiful results every time you shoot, no matter what the scene or subject.

Strengths: Image quality,Cost factor,Big zoom,RAW mode,excellent interface, joystick access to most commonly needed functions, Uses SD/SDHC cards, Good build.

Weaknesses: Can not zoom while taking video, noise reduction induced problems in low light situations, Lens move in and out while zooming and retracts in when powered down, No focus ring, No flash shoe, No tilt LCD, Non standard thread size.

Key element in photography is light, without light, will not happen of a picture and in the capture of the DSLR camera is an important factor that must be considered, namely:

1. shutter speed
2. Aperture / diaphragm opening
3. iso / asa

These three factors above, the shutter speed + aperture + iso = expossure.

Expossure (lighting) = is the quantity of light allowed to enter, the intensity (set by opening the lens) and duration (governed by the shutter speed) the light coming in and the image sensor. High iso, need a bit of light to produce clear images. conversely, low-iso require a lot of light to produce clear images. * remember: the high iso images may cause the results arising noise that can reduce image quality.

Shutter speed (to shut = closed) = at the time we hit the button for taking pictures, going the opening so that light entered the lens and the image sensor. work shutter is opened and then closed again. Shutter speed is the speed of the shutter opened and closed again. Shutter speed can be set. If we choose 1 / 100, then it will open for 1 / 100 sec. Scale varies shutter speed.

There are B, 1, ½, ¼, 1 / 8, 1 / 15, 1 / 30, 1 / 60, 1 / 125, 1 / 250, 1 / 500, 1 / 1000, ff. ranging from ½ to 1 / 1000 usually just called the numbers below it, meaning 100 = 1 / 100 and 2 ½ seconds means. But if the number is 2-colored, it means 2 seconds, while B the mean is bulb , ie, if the button is pressed the shutter opens, and when the shutter release button to close, to remember is, the longer the shutter speed, the amount of light entering the more much. the greater the number, then the shutter speed will be higher (the faster the shutter open and closed).

Diaphragm or aperture (or often called exposure) = function to regulate the amount of light entering the volume, this function is usually in the back of the lens, consisting of 5-8, composed of metal plates and can open wider or narrower. Writing numbers diaphragm usually is f / 2, f/2.8, f / 4, f/5.6, f / 8, f/11, and f/16, and so on. The smaller the number the diaphragm, then the resulting openings will be widened so that the light coming in more and more. Tips:

1. Large opening = large diaphragm opening (small f number) is used to produce images with sharp subject with background blur.
2. Small opening = opening a small (large f number) will produce a sharp image from foreground to background. Small openings are usually used in landscape, needed detail and sharpness on the image.

iso = iso values in the digital photography states that the sensitivity of the sensors used in digital cameras. Use the lowest iso value for the best photo. If the shutter and diaphragm settings still can not get the right exposure (usually in low light conditions) then it could try to raise the value iso.
In addition to shooting at low light, use a high iso is well suited to prevent hand-shake blur effect (if the camera does not feature stabilizer) or for high-speed photography, because it allows the use of high iso. Raise the value of iso will make a side effect of noise on the image.
