Panasonic Lumix FX550, touch and memory of faces

The Lumix FX550 out for its touch screen 3 "and its ability to recognize faces

Yesterday we had the opportunity of the new batch of toquetear Lumix cameras. A lot of new models that reinforce the idea of the wide-angle compact, something that I have always considered essential. Among all those tested struck me the special attention FX550, a very compact camera that has an amazing zoom lens 25-300 mm 125 (sorry, 25-300mm is TZ7)


Surprised to have a camera in your hands so small and so strong with a powerful zoom, but also has other notable sights. The first is the touch screen of 3 "through which you can perform some basic functions, but interesting, like the finger define the focus point. But what surprised me most was ... the way of recognition of faces, which goes a step beyond face detection mode. This means that not only optimizes the exposure for the faces but is capable of recognizing the people who usually comes out in photos and with the help of the photographer, assign a name and a set of personal data which have defined and labeled. This little curiosity can give a lot of whether addicts upload photos to social networks.
