Description:
Optics and Resolution
Featuring a five-megapixel CCD sensor, the DMC-LC80 delivers a wide range of detail and color (with images up to 2560 x 1920 pixels) and can be the basis for photo-quality prints 13 by 17 inches. The DMC-LC80's 3x Leica DC Vario-Elmarit optical zoom lens combines comfortably small size with superb image rendering. By combining with a 3x digital zoom, users will have an equivalence of a 9x zoom lens in a very compact body, though users should note that digital zoom degrades picture quality. Movie Mode and Audio
The DMC-LC80 lets you shoot QuickTime Motion JPEG video at resolutions up to 320 x 240 pixels with sound. The amount of video you can capture is limited by space on the memory card; you'll fit more at low quality (10 frames-per-second) than at high quality (30 frames-per-second). The movies aren't camcorder quality, but they're fun and convenient, and they're perfect as e-mail attachments. You can also record audio comments, up to five seconds in length, for your still pictures. More Features - Intelligent multiple area and spot light metering
- Scene Modes: Simple, Normal Picture, Economy, Macro, Portrait, Landscape, Night Portrait, Moving Image, Playback
- Mega Burst Shooting Mode: Shoot up to nine images at 2.7 or 1.5 frames-per-second in standard resolution, or up to five images in fine resolution. This option is designed to provide you with the best selection of photos during action, such as a sporting event.
- Built-in flash
- Real-time histograms
- Optical viewfinder
- 1.5" diagonal Polycrystalline TFT LCD Display (114k pixels)
Storage and Transfer
Images and video are stored on Secure Digital (SD) memory cards. A 16 MB SD card is included. Files can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB connectivity, which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows 98/Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software. Printing
This camera supports the PictBridge standard. PictBridge is a technology that lets you transfer pictures from a digital camera to a compatible printer, without a PC or image-editing software. Because PictBridge is an industry standard, users can connect PictBridge-compatible devices made by many different manufacturers. Learn more about PictBridge. Power and Size
The camera is powered by two AA-size batteries. Alkaline batteries are included, but the manufacturer recommends rechargeable Ni-MH batteries, which could end up saving money over the life of the camera. The camera measures 2.52 by 3.44 by 1.39 inches and weighs 0.35 pounds. What's in the Box
DMC-LC80 digital camera, two AA alkaline batteries, 16MB SD memory card, A/V cable, USB cable, strap, and CD-ROM.
