At just 0.8" thin, the ultra compact Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8 fits seamlessly into your pocket and digital lifestyle. A newly developed Leica lens offers a 4.6x optical zoom while remaining flush with the camera body. Stylishly slim and easy to carry, you'll always be ready for the moments that matter. From portraits of friends and family to cityscapes and street scenes, the advanced 12.1 megapixel sensor ensures the highest image quality possible.

28mm wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens and POWER O.I.S.
The foldable optics in this 28mm wide-angle lens with 4.6x optical zoom enables the FP8's flat, slim design. Plus, the superb image rendering of the Leica DC lens teams up with the double* corrective power of the new POWER O.I.S. to clearly capture subjects even in dimly lit areas where hand-shake often occurs.

High-speed performance lets you shoot anytime you want
Enjoy high-speed 0.95-second start-ups, AF speeds of approximately 0.3 second, and up to five consecutive shots at 2.3 frames per second with full resolution. You can also take up to 380 photos with a single battery charge (CIPA). This comfortable level of performance lets you capture even the most fleeting shutter chances.

Switch to iA mode with a single press of the button
Simply switch to iA mode, and leave everything up to the camera. It automatically selects the best of six scene modes to match your subject, and corrects any blurring, focus or brightness problems, so you get beautiful photos every time.

Illuminated buttons look cool and brightens up operation
The back of the camera has cool-looking illuminated buttons that help you to avoid operating mistakes even when shooting in dimly lit places.
