Macro Zoom

You can pull subjects even closer than the closest point possible with the wide-angle setting by using 3x digital zoom, and capture dramatic close-ups.

Selectable Focus Icon

When using 11-area AF, the camera automatically determines the most appropriate AF area from the eleven points. This ensures accurate focusing even for difficult compositions. You can also select the AF setting from Face AF, AF Tracking or 1-area AF. With the DMC-FP7/FP5, you can select the icon from among 6 types that appears when the shutter button is pressed half-way.

Select from 4 Aspect Ratios – Newly Added 1:1 Aspect Mode
