When a camera is a part of a whole series, it is often difficult to stand out as an independent contender vying for the attention of the more well known models in the series. Many a compact camera has faced that fate when they enter the market with other models that become well known and sell better than them. Thankfully, the Lumix DMC-FH22 will not face that fate because it distinguishes itself from the other models in the series with a variety of automatic functions. This feature rich camera comes with resolution of 14.1mp and a powerful wide angle zoom lens with the capacity of 8x.
Design and FunctioningIn design and look, the Lumix DMC-FH22 looks and feels almost like its smaller cousin, the FH-20. It is equipped with the same fluid design, though it weighs a tad less at exactly 170gs. This camera is available in colours like Plum Red, Gun metal Grey and Midnight Black.Its intelligent Auto function is a beginner’s delight. This one function is enough to activate four automatic correction and detection functions – MEGA O.I.S., which helps prevent blurring due to shaky hands, Intelligent ISO Control, which helps prevent motion blur when the subject won't stay still, Intelligent Scene Selector which selects the optimal scene mode for the situation and Face Detection which helps deliver clear portraits. It comes with the PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.0, which makes it possible to sort and organize photos not only of those newly taken but also of those stored in the user’s computer.
