Panasonic Lumix FT3, the camera will always know where terrain is

Among the new range of compact Panasonic, always like to find models like the Panasonic Lumix FT3, a compact SUV, which this year has improved resistance to levels attractive for lovers of the underwater and outdoor photography. Although not specify its protection (probably an IP68), the Lumix FT3 is waterproof to a respectable depth of 12 meters, making it ideal for snorkeling.

It is also fully sealed to dust and dirt, resists falling from 2 meters and temperatures of -10 degrees. With dimensions of 103.5 × 64.0 × 26.5 mm and weighs 197 grams with battery and card, FT3 Lumix has a robust appearance comes in four attractive colors. How could it be otherwise, the floodgates of access to the battery or the connections are conveniently lined with insulation and have a safety locking mechanism that prevents accidental opening in the middle disastrous posed robbed a group of eels.

Technically, the Lumix FT3 good components equipped with a 1/2.33 CCD with 12.5 megapixels with 4.6x optical zoom (4x higher in other digital zoom) and an optical equivalent to a 28-128 in 35mm. The opening of the Leica lens is F3.3 - 5.9. In video recording, the FT3 is capable of 1080p HD resolution at 30fps, all with a dedicated physical button to avoid messing with the settings.

Apart from these features, the FT3 known for incorporating a optical image stabilizer that helps a lot to eliminate blur in photos in low light. This stabilizer camcorders inherited the company, offers an extremely useful asset to eliminate camera shake by moving the camera or move during video recording.

The stabilizer is attached to the CCD sensor to achieve high-speed burst shooting up to 3.7 per second at full resolution, or 10 shots per second at 10 megapixels. Burst technology is smart and takes more or less depending on the instantaneous speed at which it moves you want to photograph and ambient light.

The burst shooting is also helpful in correcting the lighting and movement in night shots, and is even able to recreate a sense three-dimensional 3D optical unmediated. To achieve this effect, the camera takes 20 consecutive shots in which the user has to do a little sweeping when you press the shutter.

The camera includes two photos more convenient for perspective and quality, and fuses in a three dimensional image. As good camera for adventurers, the Lumix FT3 offers a generous array of sensors including GPS, altimeter, digital compass and barometer capable of measuring atmospheric pressure or depth if we are diving.

Apart from locating the coordinates, the GPS is able to adjust to local time when the place where we are and the image automatically add metadata such as country or city. Once the photo, you can sort the images according to where they were taken and see exactly the points where we did the photos on Google Maps.

Without further analysis, the Lumix FT3 has seemed a good sidekick for outdoor enthusiasts or parents with children very destrozones. The price of the camera is not cheap (399 euros) but the intelligent trigger functions and resistance compensates for it. The point that perhaps more problems may be the batteries that hold more than 300 photos theoretical.

Be seen as even this measure will vary with a more intensive or video recording. However, the FT3 is a reasonable option in high-end compact highlights moving photographs and night.
