And when you want to bring your subject closer, simply use the 4.5x (DMC-FX12, 35mm equivalent: 157mm) Extra Optical Zoom. This conveniently small camera has huge potential. Enjoy a high-performance camera without having to make highly complicated settings. The Panasonic DMC-FX12 features a Scene Mode function that lets you choose from among 20 modes, including the newly added SUNSET and PET.
