8/21/2013 10:58:44 AM

Panasonic Lumix LF1 is the newest high-end compact camera of Panasonic, it has 7.1x optical zoom lens, the bright aperture f/2.0 of Leica, 12 megapixel sensors, and it is quite unique for a compact camera with electronics viewfinder built in camera.

Features

Looking at the design, you can imagine that this compact camera can be selected by Leica, the Leica version. The lens is impressive with the bright aperture f/2.0 at wide angle, although at the telephoto it was down to f/5.9. This camera is quite compact, significantly smaller than the nearest competitor, Nikon Coolpix P7700, with a fairly similar size to Olympus XZ-10.

On the top of the camera body is stereo micro for video, mode dial, with manual control, two custom modes and panoramic mode, as well as shutter button is surrounded by zoom control and finally on/off button.

On the rear of camera has a soft coating that feels to be made by rubber brings the feel holding your hand for the entire rear of the camera. Unfortunately this is not right for the front with flat metal part of camera, provides little resistance when holding the camera, so we recommend you should use the wrist strap accompanying camera.

This camera has a number of different layers to support layout, can be seen above, with illustrated example show how to use the guide.

The electronic viewfinder has diopter correction feature that will be useful for people wear glass, especially the electronic viewfinder is quite small, so you need to carry as close as possible. There is a manual switch to switch between the back screen and EVF because camera does not feature built-eye identification.

The menus are beautifully designed and easy to use, with the settings are divided into four main screens: record, video, setup and Wi-Fi. Q menu button helps to quick access with the settings on the screen so you do not need to go to the menu to change settings, and there are some available settings when using the buttons on the rear camera. Fn button (Function) can be customized into one of eight options, and the front lens ring can also be customized, or the left of the default settings – use the function of the rings depends on shooting mode you are using, for example if you are in aperture priority mode the ring will be used to customize the aperture.

Wi-Fi connection setting is quite forward straight, however sharing directly from camera to social networking sites such as Facebook can be more difficult.

Speed

We took some photos to test the response of the camera, from the opening of the first photo, turn over each one in turn, focus speed, etc.... We have some photos and then use average to ensure the accuracy and consistency, makes it easy to compare with other cameras.

·         Shutter Response: <0.05

·         Wide - Focus / Shutter Response: 0.25

·         Full zoom - Focus / Shutter Response: 0.3

·         Switch on Time to Taking a Photo:1.5

·         Shot to Shot without Flash: 0.5

·         Shot to Shot with Flash: 1.1

·         Continuous Shooting - JPEG: 10fps (12 shot)

·         Continuous Shooting - Flash: 0.6 s (Flash burst)

·         Continuous Shooting - RAW: 10fps (10 shot)

Focusing speed and shutter response are very good with the camera has a very good shot to shot. 10fps continuous shooting is in JPEG, Raw, or JPEG + Raw, with a pause of about 23 seconds after shooting 10 RAW photos. 5fps continuous shooting has in continuous AF mode.
