Full Manual Control and Easy Joystick Operation The easy-to-use joystick operation and good design, which were part of the highly acclaimed trademarks of the predecessor, are inherited by the DMC-LX2. The joystick was incorporated to facilitate operational ease and thereby get the best technical advantage of the multitude of functions offered by the camera. With the joystick it is possible to set focus, aperture and shutter speed, it also allows the exposure compensation. And also quickly shortcut to frequently used variables by just pressing and holding the joystick even while monitoring a subject on the LCD. The predecessor LX1 contained white balance adjustment, ISO setting, image size setting and compression format in its shortcut menu, and the light metering and AF mode settings are now added for the DMC-LX2. Easy-to-Access Mode Switch A switch on the side of the lens barrel lets you quickly change the focus mode between MF, AF or Macro AF. When you focus in the Manual Focus mode, not only the focus distance but also the DOF (depth of field) according to the zoom range and aperture is displayed. An MF assist function enlarges the center of the image to make focusing easier. The focusing area can be enlarged up to 4x and is movable, which also contributes to easy and comfortable manual focusing. Faster AF The AF mode can be selected according to the shooting situation: 9-point, 3-point high speed, 1-point high speed, 1-point and Spot. In the 1-point and 1-point high speed AF mode, the AF area is selectable from the nine focusing areas with the joystick to best fit the composition of the subjects. 9-point AF For general shooting conditions. This mode gives you a sharp focus for a variety of picture compositions. 3-point high speed AF This mode prevents the system from mistakenly focusing on the area between two subjects. 1-point high speed AF This mode gives you fast and accurate focusing. 1-point AF Although screen-freeze in high-speed AF is now minimized, if you take the picture of subject with fast movement, you can select this mode which does not have any screen-freeze while focusing. Spot AF Spot metering: This mode keys the focus to a small area within the frame. Selectable AF Area While using 1-point and 1-point high speed AF mode, you can specify a point out of 9 AF points. You can thereby enjoy free framing shooting even with the subject not at the center. AF / AE Lock Button The AF/AE lock button lets you frame your shot freely while keeping the focus locked, or maintains the same exposure setting regardless of the subject color when taking multiple shots. AF Assist Lamp Provides extra lighting as a focusing aid for slightly dark situations where AF focusing would ordinarily be difficult. New Composition Guidelines You can use composition guidelines from two patterns according to the shooting subject. And guidelines can be shown at the same time as other information, icons. Real-Time Histograms This graph, which can be displayed in the LCD as you line up the shot, shows the status of the exposure and contrast in real-time. Two Axis White Balance Adjustment Choose from seven white balance settings: Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Shade, Halogen, Flash, and White Set. When there are several different light sources and it's difficult to get the exact coloration you want, you can also adjust with a reference to the horizontal axis for amber to blue and vertical axis for green to magenta.* *White Balance Adjustment is not possible in Auto Mode. Horizontal: Amber(RED) ⇔Blue adjustment Vertical: Green⇔Magenta(fluorescent)adjustment Exposure Compensation* Adjust the exposure setting to create a particular image. *±1/3 EV step, ±2 EV Auto Bracketing* This lets you pick the best shot from different, automatically graduated exposures. *±1/3-1EV step, 3 frames Color Effect Mode Alter the coloring effect to your liking.
