Its bright maximum aperture range of f/1.7-2.8 also suits working in low-light conditions and offers better depth-of-field control. In addition, it also benefits from working with difficult lighting, optical image stabilization minimizes the appearance of camera vibration to help render sharper handheld images.

4K UHD video recording

In addition to the versatile photo taking modes, the D-Lux 7 also supports recording 4K UHD video with a frame rate of 30p or 24p at 100 Mb/s in the MP4 format. Full HD 1080p60 is also supported, in both MP4 and AVCHD format.

4K photo modes

Using the video recording capabilities of the D-Lux 7, a trio of photo modes is available to record continuous 8 MP still images at a shooting speed of 30 fps:

• Burst: This mode will allow you to record continuously, making it ideal for cases where you need a fast frame rate to capture the best moment.
• Pre-Burst: This mode is ideal when you are unsure of the critical moment to press the shutter button and will record images one second before and one second after pressing the shutter button to give you 60 frames to choose from.
• Burst (S/S): This mode closely follows the video recording process and allows you to play your video, pause at the chosen time, and use the shutter button to mark a selected frame of the video and save it as a single 8MP Frame.

Features of the body

• The bright electronic viewfinder has a resolution of 2.76 m point for clear viewing at eye level, even in bright sunlight.
• The 1.24m 3.0" rear LCD screen has a touchscreen design to navigate the menu intuitively, play images and select AF points while shooting.
• The included shoe-mounted external flash can be used to provide additional illumination when working in low-light conditions.
• Charging into the CAMERA of the BP-DC15 lithium-ion battery is supported via an optional USB-connected power bank or when connected to a computer or AC adapter.

Wireless connectivity and other camera features
