Executive Summary about : Underwater Digital Camera Posted By Agus Mardiana


Waterproof digital cameras are extremely useful if you intend visiting anywhere that is dirty and wet or just very sandy. But which are the best waterproof digital cameras and how many are there on the market ? It could be with the increasing interest in adventure holidays and underwater tourism that camera makers have decided that there is a market for waterproof digital cameras.

With the introduction of the LUMIX TS1, we offer a digital camera with a rugged design that consumers can feel confident using in these tough environments.

It has a 12.1 megapixel resolution, a 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens, a 4.6x optical zoom and Panasonic’s Intelligent Auto mode, which means it is extremely easy to use, whilst being a powerful camera with advanced imaging features.

Panasonic’s new Lumix DMC-TS1 is the world’s first waterproof, shockproof and dustproof digital camera to also feature AVCHD Lite High Definition (HD) video recording capabilities. The Lumix TS1, with a 12.1-megapixel resolution, features a 28mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens, a 4.6x optical zoom and Panasonic’s proprietary iA (Intelligent Auto) mode, making this an easy-to-use, yet powerful camera that packs advanced imaging features.

The TS1 records AVCHD Lite HD video, allowing almost double the recording time in HD quality compared with the conventional Motion JPEG format. The TS1 also features Dolby Digital Creator to record high quality audio to match the high-quality motion images.

The TS1 features iA mode for both still images and in Movie Mode. For iA in Movie Mode, the TS1 features Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.), which helps prevent handshake when using high-powered zoom. Face Detection automatically detects a face in a frame and adjusts focus, exposure, contrast, and skin complexion on the face. Optical zoom can be used in motion image recording.

The TS1’s iA for still image adds Face Recognition–a feature that “remembers” faces from previous shots. When a registered face appears in the frame, the camera will prioritize focus and exposure to capture it beautifully. With Face Recognition, when a familiar face is recorded several times, the camera will prompt you to register the face. Thanks to the Venus Engine HD, it’s easy to view photos or movies recorded in AVCHD Lite.

This multi-task image-processing engine also enables a fast response time.
