The 7.2 megapixel Panasonic DMC-LS70 features a LUMIX DC VARIO- branded 3x optical zoom lens with 35 - 105mm equivalent focal range with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 to f/5.0 depending on the zoom position. As with other recent Panasonic models, the LS70 eschews an optical viewfinder in favor of a 2.0", 86,000 pixel LCD display.

Other LS70 features include ISO sensitivities from 100 to 1250 with the ability to extend this to ISO 3200 equivalent in High Sensitivity mode, shutter speeds from 1/2000 to 60 seconds, and 18 scene modes (Portrait, Soft Skin, Scenery, Sports, Night Portrait, Night Scenery, Food, Party, Candle, Fireworks, Starry Sky, Beach, Aerial photo, Snow, Baby1, Baby2, Sunset and Pet). The LS70 also offers a wide aspect-ratio movie mode with a resolution of 848 x 480 pixels, as well as lower-resolution 640 x 480 and 320 x 240 pixel options, all at rates up to 30 frames-per-second and encoded in the QuickTime Motion JPEG format common on many digicams. Audio is not recorded. Power is provided by a pair of AA batteries, and in addition to an SD / MMC / SDHC-compatible card slot, the LS70 includes 27MB of built-in memory for image storage.

The Panasonic LS70 also incorporates the company's "Intelligent ISO Control" system (first seen on the FZ50), which detects whether or not the subject is moving and automatically raises the ISO setting, allowing the camera to shoot at a higher shutter speed when needed. This feature, together with Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S (Optical Image Stabilizer) should help keep blurry pictures due to subject or camera motion to a minimum.

Salient Features of Panasonic DMC LS70

Taking Hand-Shake Out of the Picture — MEGA O.I.S. helps keep your shots steady, even if you're not
It's hard to hold a small camera steady. That's why the LZ70S features MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization), which automatically detects and compensates for hand-shake. You get clear, beautiful shots even when zooming, shooting macro close-ups, or taking night scenery.

Simple Mode for Super-Easy Operation — Even for Beginners
Just set the mode dial to the heart symbol, aim and press the shutter button. The camera handles the complicated settings automatically. And with a simplified settings menu, there's no stress, no confusion and no worries. You can even compensate for backlighting by just pressing the cursor key. You'll find it easy to take clear, beautiful shots — even if you know very little about digital cameras.

Quick Settings Without Taking Your Eyes Off Your Subjects
Press the FUNCTION button and you can easily change settings such as auto focus, lighting metering, white balance, ISO sensitivity, image size, image quality and so on. There's no need to switch to the menu screen.

Powered by Two AA Batteries
The DMC-LS70 runs on two AA batteries, which you can buy just about anywhere. If your battery power is running low, just pick up a fresh supply. The Oxyride™ batteries that come with the camera let you take many more photos than you can with ordinary alkaline batteries.
