The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) compensates
for the blurring caused by hand-shake. Apart from the digital image
correction, the MEGA O.I.S. corrects a jolt of light axis by shifting
the O.I.S. lens unit to offset it. Thus the image is not affected
digitally nor deteriorated at all. You get clear, sharp images in
exchange for nothing. The MEGA O.I.S. lets you shoot in dimly lit rooms
or evening illumination to preserve the mood and works for macro shots
and zoom shots, which are especially susceptible to hand-shake.
In iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode, 4 detection functions work automatically
and simultaneously to optimize your settings, making it easier than ever
to take beautiful photos every time. The iA Mode includes MEGA O.I.S.
(Optical Image Stabilizer) to detect hand-shake, Intelligent ISO Control
to detect subject movement, Face Detection AF/AE to detect faces in the
frame and Intelligent Scene Selector to detect scene conditions.
The DMC-S3 can record motion pictures in high-definition (1,280 x 720
pixels at 30 fps in Motion JPEG format). The DMC-S3 can also upload
movies onto YouTube and photos onto Facebook. All you have to do is
checkmark photos and movies you want to share and connect the camera or
SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card to a computer. Uploading automatically starts
just by following the guidance. With operation this easy, you can
instantly share your photos and movies with your family and friends all
over the world.
The DMC-S3 features a 28mm wide-angle 4x optical zoom LUMIX DC VARIO
lens (35mm camera equivalent: 28-112mm). The 28mm wide-angle lens lets
you easily capture large groups of people indoors or expansive
architectural structures and scenes with dynamic width and rich
perspective. The 4x optical zoom lens captures beautiful shots of people
or landscapes with 14.1-megapixel resolution. The Extra Optical Zoom
unction uses the center part of the CCD to extend this 4x zoom ratio to
powerful 8.4x zoom at a resolution of 3-megapixel or less.
The DMC-S3's large 2.7-inch LCD features high 230,000-dot resolution.
The big screen reflects fine details, making it easy to check the focus
before shooting. It also serves as a small photo and video viewer,
allowing you and friends to enjoy viewing the still and motion images
together. The High-angle Mode makes the display extremely easy to view
from a low angle, for example, when taking photos by raising your hand
upward to capture the subject over the crowd.
