This camera also complies with “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”. The camera has cleared a drop test from a height of 2 m (6.6 feet) onto 3 cm (0.1 feet) thick plywood. In most cases this camera should not sustain any damage if dropped from a height not exceeding 2 m (6.6 feet). (*2)

Withstand Load Performance
This camera complies with 100 kgf / 220.5 lbf load tests. (*3)

This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.

*1 This means that the camera can be used underwater for specified time in specified pressure in accordance with the handling method established by Panasonic.
*2 “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock” is the test method standard of the U.S. Defense Department, which specifies performing drop tests from a height of 122 cm (4 feet), at 26 orientations (8 corners, 12 ridges, 6 faces) using 5 sets of devices, and passing the 26 orientation drops within 5 devices. (If failure occurs during the test, a new set is used to pass the drop orientation test within a total of 5 devices) Panasonic’s test method is based on the above “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”. However, the drop height was changed from 122 cm (4 feet) to 200 cm (6.6 feet) dropping onto 3 cm (0.1 feet) thick playboard. This drop test was passed. (Disregarding appearance change such as loss of paint or distortion of the part where drop impact is applied.)
*3 According to the test method specified by Panasonic.

Handling of the camera
• Waterproofing is not guaranteed if the unit is subject to an impact as a result of being hit or dropped etc. If an impact to the camera occurs, it should be inspected (subject to a fee) by Panasonic to verify that the waterproofing is still effective.
• When the camera is splashed with detergent, soap, hot spring, bath additive, sun oil, sun screen, chemical, etc., wipe it off immediately.
• Waterproof function of the camera is for sea water and fresh water only.
• Any malfunction caused by customer misuse, or mishandling will not be covered by the warranty.
• The inside of this unit is not waterproof. Water leakage will cause malfunction.

Digital Still Camera
DMC-TS25(FT25)

A Casual Stylish Rugged Design
16.1-Megapixel LUMIX DMC-TS25(FT25)
Featuring HD Video Recording and iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode

Panasonic is introducing a new rugged-design digital compact camera LUMIX DMC-TS25(FT25) empowered with higher water resistance and rich shooting functions to make photography even more enjoyable.

The new 16.1-megapixel DMC-TS25(FT25) further strengthens its toughness to be waterproof to 7 m / 23 ft in addition to the freezeproof to -10 degrees C / 14 degrees F, shockproof to 1.5 m / 5 ft and dustproof reliability. Featuring the flat and slim profile adopting the folded optics, the new lens system in the DMC-TS25(FT25) features 25mm ultra wide angle of view and 4x optical zoom (35mm equivalent: 25-100mm). The 4x optical zoom increases its power to 8x equivalent with the Intelligent Zoom function with minimum deterioration of image quality thanks to the Intelligent Resolution technology.

A variety of special mode including Time Lapse Shot, Creative Control, Creative Retouch and Creative Panorama with a lot of attractive filter effects are added to expand shooting experience.

With the DMC-TS25(FT25), HD (High Definition) video recording in 720p MP4 is available. 4x optical zoom can be used in video recording. For beginners, LUMIX’s popular shooting assist function iA (Intelligent Auto) mode helps to shoot beautiful photo / video without mistake.

The new Advanced Underwater Mode features Red Color Reproduction to reproduce original natural color of subjects and Torch Light function allows the camera to serve as a light with its built-in LED.

Based on its highly-durable mechanical design, the DMC-TS25(FT25) packages a host of functional options in a casual stylish profile, making the camera even more versatile for use in town or in outdoor leisure.

1. Credible Toughness in a Slim, Stylish Profile
with 25mm Ultra Wide Angle 4x Optical Zoom Lens in Folded Optics

The DMC-TS25(FT25) is waterproof to a depth of 7 m / 23 ft and dustproof equivalent to the "IPX8" and "IP6X" standard. Thanks to rubber padding and reinforced glass and carbon resins inside the camera, the DMC-TS25(FT25) features an airtight body protected against water immersion, dust and sand. The DMC-TS25(FT25) is drop proof from a height up to 1.5 m / 5 ft in accordance with the "MIL-STD 810F Method516.5-Shock" test standard. The lens unit is protected by a supplementary damper to absorb the force from shock impact. All components including the lens unit are reexamined to endure the temperature as low as -10 degrees C / 14 degrees F to make the DMC-TS25(FT25) freezeproof.

The 16.1-megapixel DMC-TS25(FT25) features 25mm ultra wide angle 4x optical zoom lens. The folded optics of the shaft guide method is adopted to secure the toughness of the lens unit. Comprising 11 elements and a prism unit in 10 groups, including an ED lens and 5 aspherical lenses with 9 aspherical surfaces, this advanced lens unit renders high resolution image corner to corner even adopting the folded optics. 25mm ultra wide angle of view enables shooting dynamic landscapes or group portrait without letting them protrude out of a frame. The 4x optical zoom increases its power to 8x equivalent with the Intelligent Zoom function taking advantage of the Intelligent Resolution technology with minimum deterioration of picture quality even using digital zoom.

2. A Variety of Options to Upgrade Shooting Experience

DMC-TS25(FT25) newly incorporates Time Lapse Shot. Once the start time, the interval and the number of picture to shoot are set, the camera will automatically shoot images. You can leave the camera and get a record of stationary observation for subjects such as flowers coming into bloom, scudding cloud, wild animals in nature. The series of consequent images can be combined in a camera to produce a time lapse video.

The DMC-TS25(FT25) is also equipped with popular Creative Control and Creative Retouch featuring a total of 12 filter effects – Retro, Expressive, High Key, Low Key, Sepia, Dynamic Monochrome, Impressive Art, High Dynamic, Cross Process, Toy Effect, Miniature Effect and One Point Color. The Creative Control lets users shoot with a filter effect while checking how it makes difference on the picture, which can be used for video recording, too*. The Creative Retouch enables applying a filter effect on the picture even after shooting in camera.

3. 720p HD Video Recording in MP4

The new DMC-TS25(FT25) records dynamic HD video in 1280 x 720p at a smooth 30p (NTSC) / 25p (PAL) in MP4 format which has high compatibility with PCs or smartphones for editing or sharing the videos. The recorded videos can be directly uploaded to YouTube™. The DMC-TS25(FT25) incorporates dedicated video button to switch photo / video recording quickly. Optical zoom is also available in video recording as well as Active Mode that minimizes hand shake even the video is recorded while walking.

• Use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 4" or higher when recording videos.
* SD Speed Class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.
• Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously is 29 minutes 59 seconds or up to 4 GB.

4. Other Options for Upgrading Photographic Enjoyment

Waterproof / Dustproof Performance
This camera’s waterproof / dustproof rating complies with the “IPX8” and “IP6X” ratings. Provided the care and maintenance guidelines described in this document are strictly followed, this camera can operate underwater, to a depth not exceeding 7 m (23 feet) for a time not exceeding 60 minutes. (*1)

Anti-shock Performance
This camera also complies with “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”. The camera has cleared a drop test from a height of 1.5 m (5 feet) onto 3 cm (0.1 feet) thick plywood. In most cases this camera should not sustain any damage if dropped from a height not exceeding 1.5 m (5 feet). (*2)

Featuring Creative Control, Creative Retouch and Creative Panorama
in the World’s Slimmest Body Profile

* For a digital camera with optical 5x retractable zoom lens and Optical Image Stabilizer, as of January 7, 2013.

Panasonic is introducing a new 16.1-megapixel DMC-XS1 that integrates a host of creative options to make photography more artistic and fun in a stylish flat body profile with an eye-catching two-colored design. The 24 mm wide-angle 5x optical zoom LUMIX lens (equivalent to 24 mm to 120 mm on a 35mm camera) is equipped for versatile, easy image composition. It features the world’s slimmest body profile thanks to the Panasonic’s advanced optical design and development technology*. Max. 8x Intelligent Zoom is also available. A variety of special effects that add fun to shooting experience are integrated in DMC-XS1 – Creative Control, Creative Retouch and Creative Panorama.

With a newly added motion picture button, the 720p HD video recording can be started instantly. The iA (Intelligent Auto) mode lets users leave everything to the camera to take beautiful images with its MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), Intelligent ISO Control, Intelligent Scene Selector, Intelligent Exposure and Face Detection. Once you enter the iA mode, these multi-capable functions happen automatically, so that you can shoot without the bother of adjusting settings every time conditions change.

* For a digital camera with optical 5x retractable zoom lens and Optical Image Stabilizer, as of January 7, 2013.

1. The 24mm Ultra Wide Angle LUMIX Lens with 5x Optical Zoom,
16.1-megapixel High Resolution CCD and High Performance Image Processor

The DMC-XS1 packages a 24mm wide-angle LUMIX DC VARIO lens with 5x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 24-120mm) into a slim, compact body. Comprising of 6 elements in 5 groups with 3 aspherical lenses with 5 aspherical surfaces, the lens unit realized downsizing of both total length and diameter to be packed in the world’s slimmest body profile*. The 24mm ultra wide angle lens gives photographers a wider range of composition possibilities with approx. 213% larger viewing space compared to that of 35mm camera. It captures more subjects in limited focusing distance and is good for shooting group portrait, indoor objects or dynamic landscapes. For distant subjects, the Intelligent Zoom can be used for the extended magnification to 8x by combining digital zoom with minimum deterioration of image quality.

The 16.1-megapixel of large image sensor offers high resolution image so that it is still affordable to crop the part you want to enlarge out of the picture after shooting.

* For a digital compact camera with optical 5x retractable zoom and O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabilizer), as of January 7, 2013

2. Creative Control, Creative Retouch and Creative Panorama

The DMC-XS1 integrates popular Creative Control and Creative Retouch featuring a total of 13 filter effects – Retro, Expressive, High Key, Low Key, Sepia, Dynamic Monochrome, Impressive Art, High Dynamic, Cross Process, Toy Effect, Miniature Effect, Soft Focus and One Point Color. The Creative Control lets users shoot with a filter effect while checking how it makes difference on the picture, which can be used for video recording, too*. The Creative Retouch enables applying a filter effect on the picture even after shooting in camera.

* Soft Focus cannot be used in video recording.

3. High Quality 720P Video Recording and Instant Image Sharing
with Family and Friends

The DMC-XS1 records dynamic HD video in 1280 x 720p. Recording motion image can be started with a press of an independent motion picture button on the back of the camera, which is extremely convenient for users to switch photo / video shooting instantly. Users can also sort and archive the images via a bundled software PHOTOfunSTUDIO Ver. 9.0 LE and upload them to the social networking services like Facebook™ or YouTube™ on the sideways.

4. The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) and the iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode
Powerfully Assists Shooting Beautiful Images

Panasonic incorporated the iA (Intelligent Auto) mode in pursuit of the ultimate ease of operation and the reduction of misshots. The user can activate all of these useful, convenient shooting-assist functions by just activating an iA mode.

The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) is integrated in the iA mode for DMC-XS1 to suppress hand-shake. Apart from the digital image correction, MEGA O.I.S. corrects a jolt of light axis by shifting the O.I.S. lens unit to offset it. Thus the image is not affected digitally nor deteriorated at all. You get clear, sharp images in exchange for nothing. In addition, Intelligent ISO Control, Intelligent Scene Selector, Intelligent Exposure and Face Detection automatically work for users to get the best result.

5. Other Features to Enhance the Performance of Cameras

- Auto Retouch – Auto Retouch function that adjusts contrast and brightness to give different impression to the photo with just a press of a button to look it nicer.
- microSD/SDHC Card Compatibility – Photo and video data are recorded in ultra-small microSD/SDHC Card, which also has high acceptability of major smartphones.
- AC / USB Power Charging – The camera’s battery can be recharged either via AC or via USB according to the users’ convenience.

New 16.1-Megapixel Slim, Stylish LUMIX DMC-FH10(FS50)
Featuring 24mm Ultra Wide Angle 5x Zoom Lens

Panasonic is introducing a new 16.1-megapixel DMC-FH10(FS50) from simple and stylish FH/FS series with even slimmer profile. The 24mm wide-angle 5x optical zoom LUMIX lens (equivalent to 24mm to 120 mm on a 35mm camera) is equipped for versatile, easy image composition. Max. 8x Intelligent Zoom is also available.

The DMC-FH10(FS50) packages a 24mm wide-angle LUMIX DC VARIO lens with 5x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 24-120mm) into a slim, compact body. Comprising of 6 elements in 5 groups with 3 aspherical lenses with 5 aspherical surfaces, the lens unit realized downsizing of both total length and diameter. The 24mm ultra wide angle lens gives photographers a wider range of composition possibilities with approx. 213% larger viewing space compared to that of 35mm camera. It captures more subjects in limited focusing distance and is good for shooting group portrait, indoor objects or dynamic landscapes. For distant subjects, the Intelligent Zoom can be used for the extended magnification to 8x by combining digital zoom with minimum deterioration of image quality.

3. The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) and the iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode
Powerfully Assists Shooting Beautiful Images

The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) is integrated in the iA mode for DMC-FH10(FS50) to suppress hand-shake. Apart from the digital image correction, MEGA O.I.S. corrects a jolt of light axis by shifting the O.I.S. lens unit to offset it. Thus the image is not affected digitally nor deteriorated at all. You get clear, sharp images in exchange for nothing. In addition, Intelligent ISO Control, Intelligent Scene Selector, Intelligent Exposure and Face Detection automatically work for users to get the best result.
