Camera Effective Pixels
Effective Pixels
Slightly less than the total number of pixels normally stated for an image sensor (CCD, CMOS, etc.), this term represents the actual number of pixels used to record an image.
10.1 Megapixels
Sensor Size / Total Pixels / Filter 1/1.63-inch / 11.3 Total Megapixels / Primary Color Filter
Aperture F2.0 - 3.3 / Multistage Iris Diaphragm (F2.0 - 8 (W) / F3.3 - 8 (T))
(F2.0 - 11 (W) / F3.3 - 18 (T) in movie recording)
Optical Zoom
Optical Zoom
As the focal length of a zoom lens is changed, the subject is magnified. When an image is magnified via the lens, the resulting image looks natural.
3.8x
Digital Zoom
Digital Zoom
(for Camcorders)
Through the use of digital technology, the zoom ratio on select Panasonic camcorders can be increased to an amazing 700:1 or greater, depending on the model. After the highest optical zoom setting is reached, the digital zoom automatically takes over, magnifying the image by blowing up the pixels to give you an incredibly close shot.

(for Digital Cameras)
A feature found in many digital cameras that takes a portion of the image's data and displays it at full size, producing an enlargement (magnification) of the original image, similar to the effect of using a telephoto lens. This process, however, is different from the magnification produced using the camera's optical zoom, and the stronger the digital zoom, the more the image will degrade.
4x
( Max. 15.1 x combined with Optical Zoom without Extra Optical Zoom)
(Max. 26.8 x combined with Extra Optical Zoom)
Focal Length
Focal Length
The distance from the middle point of the lens to the focus point. Assuming that the camera's position is fixed, the larger this value becomes, the larger the subject appears (telephoto). Conversely, the smaller this value becomes, the smaller the subject becomes (wide angle).
f=5.1-19.2mm (24-90mm in 35mm equiv.)
(25-95mm in 35mm equiv. in movie recording)
Lens LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON

AF Assist Lamp
Provides extra lighting as a focusing aid for slightly dark situations where AF focusing would ordinarily be difficult.
Yes
ISO Sensitivity
ISO Sensitivity
A value used to indicate a film's sensitivity to light. ISO also stands for the International Standards Organization. Since no similarly defined standard exists for digital cameras, the term "ISO 100 equivalent" is used. A larger ISO value indicates that the camera can take a better picture in dimly lit locations (such as indoors).
Auto / i.ISO / 80 / 100 / 200 / 400 / 800 / 1600 / 3200 / 6400* / 12800* (* by pixel mixed readout)
High Sensitivity (ISO 1600-12800)
White Balance
White Balance
Definition:
Provides color temperature correction when taking photographs at different times on a sunny day, or in different types of artificial lighting.

How does it work?
White Balance adjusts automatically. However, depending on the scene or light condition, the Automatic White Balance may not be able to bring out natural colors. In such cases, the White Balance can be adjusted manually. While differences exist between Auto White Balance and Manual White Balance types, this feature is found on every digital camera.
Auto/Daylight/Cloudy/Shade/Flash/Halogen/Color Temperature/ White Set 1 / 2
White Balance Note (Selectable at Normal Portrait,Soft Skin,Creative Portrait,Normal Sports,Creative Sports,Objects Close-up,Creative Close-up,Baby,Pet,High Sensitivity,Hi-Speed Burst,Panorama Assist,Photo Frame mode)
White Balance Adjustment 2-axis adjustable, ±9steps each, Blue/Amber and Magenta/Green bias
Exposure
Exposure
The amount of light that strikes the image sensor or film. If the exposure period is too long, the image is "overexposed" and if it is too short, the image is "underexposed."
Program AE, Aperture Priority AE, Shutter Priority AE, Manual, Program Shift(Program AE Mode)
Exposure Compensation
Exposure Compensation
Depending on the subject's degree of reflectance or lighting condition, AE photography can easily produce exposures that are either over or under the optimum. To compensate for this type of error, plus or minus compensation can be added to correct the exposure, which is called exposure compensation.
1/3 EV Step, ± 3 EV
Backlight Compensation Yes (only in Intelligent AUTO mode)
Auto Bracketing
Auto Bracketing
Automatically takes multiple pictures with a single press of the shutter, each using a different exposure. (Usually average, over and under exposed) This reduces the chance of an incorrect exposure. After shooting, you can look at the results and keep the best shot.
(AE
AE
Abbreviation for Automatic Exposure. The camera's exposure sensor measures the brightness of the subject and automatically calculates an exposure. Generally, there are three types of AE: Program AE, Aperture Priority AE and Shutter Priority AE.
) +/- 1/3 EV ~3EV step, 3 frames
Light Metering Intelligent Multiple
Intelligent Multiple
Measures the light at points across the entire image to achieve a balanced exposure setting.
/ Center-weighted
Center-weighted
This metering system places greatest importance on the central part of the image and measures the average overall brightness of the scene. Very commonly used, this system is found in most digital cameras.
/ Spot
Spot
Uses a small point in the center of the screen to meter exposure. Useful in many situations, such as when the subject and background have extreme light and shadow differences, such as with stage or back lighting.

[biancoblu]

questo si che e' un'aggiornamento interessante...
mi sembrava strano che mettessero un sensore 4/3...pero magari avranno anche migliorato il software..una bella tentazione..vedremo un po'..

[setu]

Quella simile a questa con sensore 4/3 e ottica non intercambiabile (con sensore 4/3 e ottica intercambiabile c'è già la GF1) dovrebbe uscire a settembre e dovrebbe essere moooooolto interessante.

[Cerby]

BEL-LIS-SI-MA.

Se così fosse allora: buon lavoro Pana.
Hanno risolto l'unico piccolo neo dell LX3: l'escursione zoom. Ora con un 24-90 ci si fa davvero tutto.

[setu]

Trovo utile anche la possibilità del visore esterno. Sulla LX1 mi manca.

[MacLo]

bè.. tutto sammato sto giro salto.. mi tengo la LX3.. magari verso fine anno penserò alla GF1... (vediamo che presenteranno).

[silvan]

da ex possessore della LX3 in questo modello, sicuramente migliorato ed appettibile, ci manca solo una cosa:
il video Full HD (1080)

[setu]

Crackeranno anche questa, come la GF1 e la GH1

[fabr1zio]

qual è il tempo di syncro flash?

[MacLo]

vediamo se stavolta si potrà zoomare e focheggiare facendo i video!!

[capellimario]

ma l'apertura?

[capellimario]

ok, trovata. resta però da vedere a quanto mm sale sopra i 2,8.se è a 2 a 24 e a 40 è già a 3,3...

[andy_g]

[_Thor_]

> 10.1 Megapixels

Ecco la scelta più intelligente.
Canon ha rotto con la corsa al MP, meglio sarebbe puntare su macchine di qualità, che non abbiano gravi difetti e non caschino a pezzi...

[MacLo]

tanti megapixel poi voglion dire che fai la foto a caso e poi croppi.. ma per favore!!
La 7D è a 18Mpx.. non oso immaginare la prox...

Comunque se mi volete regalare la 7D.. non mi offendo!!

[Tomash]

[d.kalle]

Prime impressioni d'uso di dpreview:

http://www.dpreview.com/news/1007/10072110panasonicdmclx5.asp#first

Interessante IMO il nuovo sensore (range dinamico piu' esteso), lo zoom piu' tuttofare e la possibilita' di usare il mirino della GF1.
Ora attendiamo il prezzo.

[ranton]

[capellimario]

vedremo il confronto tra questa e la nex-3.

una delle due la vorrei avere.

[Tomash]

Adesso che mi son letto bene le caratteristiche devo dire che questa LX5 comincia a farmi gola.
Speriamo solo che lo zoom 24-90 equivalente mantenga la stessa qualità a tutta apertura e su tutto il range della zoomata che ha l'attuale 24-60.
Guardacaso, quando uso la pellicola (molto spesso) la terna di obiettivi che prediligo è 24-50-100.
Queta LX5 avrebbe proprio il range perfetto per me.

E se sono riusiti a migliorare ulterirmente il sensore...

Spero che abbiano mantenuto il rumore secco agli alti iso e non abbiano seguito la strada "dell'impasta tutto" degli altri produttori.
