Panasonic Lumix LX100 II Digital Compact Camera

A large 4/3-inch sensor and F1.7-2.8 LEICA DC lens for breathtaking image quality. Manual controls for enjoyable and intuitive ease of use. The latest 4K technology for stunning still photography and video. All concentrated in a compact package that’s light and easy to manoeuvre. Introducing the LUMIX LX100 II.

In addition to 1.6 times the imaging area of a 1-inch sensor,* the large 4/3-inch MOS sensor of the LUMIX LX100 II offers a wide dynamic range and low noise for excellent results when you use a high sensitivity setting.

With effective megapixels raised to 17-megapixel** and no low-pass filter to get in the way, the sensor works more effectively with the lens to deliver incredible resolution. The cityscapes you shoot reveal minute detail, while the sky in landscapes spreads to the horizon with the look of deep perspective. In your portraits, individual hairs and other fine details appear with outstanding clarity.

The sensor of the LUMIX LX100 II supports multiple aspect ratios. Leveraging effective pixels across a wide area, the camera gives you access to 4:3, 3:2, and 16:9 without any change in focal length. A dedicated switch on the lens barrel allows you to switch intuitively between aspect ratios and enjoy composing shots with complete freedom.

The LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMILUX lens integrated with the LUMIX LX100 II boasts F1.7 brightness at the wide-angle end and F2.8 at the telephoto end for natural-looking bokeh, and a high shutter speed for effective low-light photography. The versatile focal range allows you to take many types of photographs, from 24mm at wide-angle for dynamic landscapes to 75mm* at mid-telephoto for artistic portraits. Together, the lens and large image sensor deliver outstanding image quality, while the compact body makes the LUMIX LX100 II easy to carry and use.

An LVF (Live View Finder) is a great ally when you want to concentrate on your shooting. The LVF of the LUMIX LX100 II is 0.38-inch with high 2,760k-dot-equivalent resolution and 0.7x high magnification (35mm camera equivalent). Presenting in fine detail the scene that the lens and image sensor are capturing, the LVF gives you full immersion in your craft.

The aperture ring is turned with the left hand, the shutter speed dial with the right. When you point the camera and look through the viewfinder, your right hand naturally finds the exposure compensation dial. Seeming to follow your intention every time you set up a shot, the LUMIX LX100 II interfaces with you in a way that make sense and makes photography more satisfying.

DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology instantly calculates the distance to the subject by evaluating two images with different sharpness levels. This achieves fast auto-focus and 5.5 fps burst shooting with AFC to help you capture even the most fleeting photo opportunities. 11 fps burst shooting with AFS is also available.

Bluetooth 4.2 (Low Energy) enables shutter release and video record start/stop via a smartphone or tablet. You can also use the Panasonic Image App for Android/iOS to control functions like zoom and focus and to share your images on social media via Wi-Fi

One advantage of using a camera with an integrated lens is the ability to get extremely close to the subject. With the LUMIX LX100 II you can take macro shots at 3cm at wide-angle and 30cm at telephoto. In photographs of flowers, plants, and more, fine details appear that are invisible to the naked eye.

The unique 4K PHOTO feature allows you capture the perfect moment by selecting a frame from a video sequence shot at 30 fps and saving it as an 8-megapixel-equivalent high-resolution image. Don’t miss those fleeting moments!

Panasonic's 4K technology gives you the remarkable capability of refocusing an image even after it has been taken. Select the in-focus area after shooting with the Post Focus function. Or adjust the depth of field after shooting with the Focus Stacking function.
