When looking at the front of the camera, the main attention is drawn to the silver outer frame of the lens (with the Leica logo). The whole arrangement of elements, as it were, mimics the shape of a perfect circle.
Everything has been done to make this, frankly, rather cumbersome design look as light as possible. To some extent, the designers have managed to achieve this.
Rounded pen lines, rounded inscriptions. In this light, small elements, whether it be a flash or an auto-focus assist lamp, generally look like decorative ones. The observant reader has already noticed that the lens is covered with a cap. It has a cable mount (included) so it will be difficult to lose.
By the way, despite its multiplicity, even in the tele position, the leading edge of the zoom does not strongly protrude beyond the dimensions of the device. Only at a far zoom length does it show itself. It will not even occur to others that you have a camera with a tenfold optical zoom in your hands.
On the side of the handle there is a special insert with an attachment for a hand strap. The top edge of the camera is full of controls. Here is the mode selector, and the power switch, and the control button for the MEGA O.I.S. image stabilizer, and, of course, shutter release. It is framed by a ring zoom lever.
Personally, such a solution for controlling the zoom is not very close to me, but since reputable developers persistently use it in their products, it means that it is not so important, or works well for most consumers.
There is a small wish for future developments to the stabilization control button. In this implementation, it simply initiates a submenu call, in which you need to select the desired item with the arrows.
Sure, that there are a significant number of people for whom it is more convenient to make a choice without resorting to the joystick, i.e. by pressing the button again, similar to choosing the desired flash mode or delay timer value. After all, there are only three points in it. If desired, you can even leave both methods of control. Despite a few quirks, I like this camera a lot.

What Is "Lumix" In Panasonic Cameras
What does lumix mean. I looked all over and not get a definite answer. just lots of words all for the search engines. they think a more in-depth answer means the article gets higher up the shabba rankings in Google. they don't actually get to the point or answer the question. It's all drawn out and annoying.
So Im gonna post this here and see if someone comments who knows what they are on about. What Is "Lumix" In Panasonic Cameras? Is it just the glass of the lens?
