Features:
- Intelligent Auto Technology: Intelligent Auto (iA) mode offers Intelligent Exposure and Digital Red-eye correction for even better shooting results.
- 25mm wide: It packs in twice the area compared to a 35mm lens. Ideal for taking group shots and landscapes.
- Leica DC lens, 4 ASPH lenses, 4X optical zoom: The 25mm Leica DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens offers f/2.8 brightness and 4x optical zoom. This advanced lens unit comprises 7 elements in 6 groups, including 4 aspherical lenses with 6 aspherical surfaces.
- HD Photo: All Lumix cameras can take 1920 x 1080 pixel HD (high-definition) photos that perfectly fit a wide-screen (16:9) HDTV for full-screen viewing. You can create slideshows with a variety of change effects and matching music. This camera will add background music, giving you a choice of natural, slow, swing or urban.
The FX36 can record motion images with sensational 1280 x 720 HD resolution at 30 frames per second (fps). Just connect the camera to an HDTV and you're ready to view your still shots and motion images in high-definition beauty.
This is in addition to WVGA (848 x 480) and VGA (640 x 480) video. - 10.1 Megapixel : The more pixels that exist in an image the higher the resolution and therefore the greater the quality of the image. 10.1 megapixel is on higher side.
- 0.005 Shutter release: Fast response time means that the shutter release time lag for the DMC-FX36 is as short as 0.005 second. This quick response makes it easier to capture sudden, spur-of-the-moment photo opportunities.
- MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.): It helps prevent blurring from hand-shake, Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings.
- Buy it from authorised dealer.

Terminology:
AF - Auto Focus. A system that automatically focuses the camera lens.
Aperture - The lens opening formed by the iris diaphragm inside the lens.
Digital Zoom - Cropping and magnifying the center part of an image
EV - Exposure Value, a very complex thing but in the digital camera world it usually means the ability to override the auto exposure system to lighten or darken an image.
Exposure Bracketing - the camera automatically takes a series of 3 or 5 pictures and slightly varies the EV for each frame. This insures that at least one of the pictures will be as close to perfectly exposed as possible.
Exposure Compensation - Lighten or darken the image by overriding the exposure system. Also known as EV Compensation.
Image Stabilisation - An optical or digital system for removing or reducing camera movement in telephoto zoom lenses.
ISO - The speed or specific light-sensitivity of a camera is rated by ISO numbers such as 100, 400, etc. The higher the number, the more sensitive it is to light. As with film, the higher speeds usually induce more electronic noise so the image gets grainier. ISO is the abbreviation for International Standards Organisation.
Lag Time - The pause between the time the shutter button is pressed and when the camera actually captures the image(exposes the shot). Lag time varies according to camera model.
Metering - Used to calculate the exposure from the existing light conditions.
Optical Zoom - Means that the camera has a real multi-focal length lens, this is not the same as a "Digital Zoom" which magnifies the centre portion of the picture and degrades the image
Shutter - The physical device that opens and closes to let light from the scene strike the image sensor. Digital cameras use both electronic and mechanical shutters.
