(NaturalNews) Panasonic unveiled three new digital cameras today: the DMC-FX50, the DMC-FX07 and the 6-megapixel DMC-FX3 -- which Panasonic calls the world's first digital camera to feature Intelligent ISO Control (IIC), which can correct the blurriness caused by movement of the photo subject.
All three models also offer Panasonic's MEGA Optical Image Stabilization technology, which reduces the blur from the photographer's unsteady hands as well, according to Panasonic.
When set to IIC mode, the advanced LSI Venus Engine III processor allows high-sensitivity recording at full resolution by detecting the subject's movement and lighting, and adjusting the ISO setting and shutter speed to compensate. The FX50 and FX07 cameras can record up to a maximum of 1250 ISO, while the FX3 has a maximum ISO 1600 mode that allows it to capture fast-moving subjects.
All three cameras feature changeable scene modes that make it easier to take photographs in less-than-perfect conditions such as night shots, parties, restaurants and sporting events, as well as a "baby mode" that will automatically remember the age of anyone programmed into the camera.
Individually, the FX3 has an equivalent 35 mm lens with 3x optical zoom, while the FX50 and FX07 are compact cameras with 28 mm, wide-angle, f/2.8 Leica DC lenses with 3.6x optical zoom, which is equivalent to a 28- to 102-mm film camera.
Panasonic announced that all three models should start shipping by September, and will cost (MSRP) $399.95 for the FX50, $349.95 for the FX07, and $279.95 for the FX3.
