From the Manufacturer

The DMC-FX8 features a 2.5-inch diagonal high-resolution LCD monitor--surprisingly large for such a compact camera. This high-quality, 207,000-pixel display makes it easy to see your subject. For easier viewing when shooting outdoors on a sunny day, press the Power LCD button to boost the backlighting by about 40%.

Easy-to-See, Easy-to-Understand LCD Indications

In addition to displaying the settings in large, easy-to-understand text, the large, 2.5-inch diagonal screen lets you show up to 25 thumbnail images at once. This makes it easier to search for and organize the photos you take.

Stunning High-Speed AF in a Slim Body

Select the AF setting from Spot, 1-point (normal or high-speed), 3-point high-speed, and 5-point. The 1-point normal setting solves the "image-freezing" that used to happen while focusing on fast-moving subjects, and makes them easier to track. Furthermore, the new 1-point high-speed mode slashes conventional AF time to about 1/3. High-speed auto focusing has finally come to the compact digital camera. Plus, the AF Assist Lamp helps when focusing in low lighting.

Super-Fast Shutter Response and Mega Burst Consecutive Shooting

Thanks to the Venus Engine Plus's release time lag of only 0.008 second, the FX8 is super-fast. You can snap consecutive shots at 3 frames per second with full resolution. And with Unlimited Consecutive Shooting, you can keep shooting until the memory card is full.

Leica DC Vario-Elmarit Lens with 3x Optical Zoom

This slim camera features a 3x optical zoom lens (35mm equivalent: 35 to 105mm) with 7 elements in 6 groups, including 3 aspherical lenses. The Extended Optical Zoom, which minimizes the image degradation that normally occurs with digital zooming, gives you up to 4x zooming power. Plus, you can use the 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom together to produce a maximum of 12x zooming power.

Flexible Shooting to Match the Scene

Moving-Image Mode

Enjoy smooth moving pictures complete with sound. Even in dimly lit situations, a new 9-pixel mixed readout method produces bright VGA-size (640 x 480-pixel) moving images at 30 frames per second on large-screen TVs.

Scene Mode

The FX8 features 12 scene modes that can be selected according to the shooting conditions. Pressing the left of the cursor button opens a help screen that explains what each mode is for.

More Functions, More Shots

Auto Angle Detection rotates vertical shots 90 degrees for easier viewing when connecting with an AV cable. This function may not work on some TV/LCD monitors.

Economy Mode turns off an idle LCD to save battery power. (Selectable between "Level 1" and "Level 2.")
