Apart from the tough, rugged camera factor, the Lumix FT1 has a quite a few notable features that we trust most will like. It has its notable dynamic camera functions, as well as a facial recognition, which we found quite amusing to play around with because it not only detected real human faces but those on the posters on our walls too. Indeed powerful. The FT1 can also record in AVCHD Lite format 720P high-definition images.
The FT1 also is unique among waterproof camera is that it features a true wide-angle lens with coverage out to 28mm. The camera also features Panasonic’s Venus Engine HD image processor, which supports high-speed burst shooting, minimal shutter and AF lag times, perfect for those who enjoy shooting fast paced subjects.
