Notes & Features: | Rear-panel LCD is a touch-panel with gesture support - for example you can mark an X on an image to delete it, or an O to rotate it. Also has "hidden" secondary low-res 1.5", 61,000 dot LCD touch panel on front of camera which is used as a viewfinder for self portrait modes, and can also show a timer countdown, the camera's key settings, a "Smiley" prompt for the Smile Shutter feature, or an animation to attract a child's attention and have them look at the camera. | Leica-branded version of Panasonic FZ200. |
