LX7
F1.4 - 2.3
Full Range Brightness
Photo creativity is based on light, and begins with the lens.
This fully open F stop catches even the tiniest details of dimly lit
evening scenes. The wide aperture at tele end enables the subjects
to stand out against the smoothly shaded backgrounds. Its high
shutter speed also freezes decisive, spur-of-the-moment shots.
The LX Series pursues the ideal in a premium compact camera.
And its bold, innovative advances offer you a whole new level of creativity.
DMC-LX7, 1/25 sec, F1.4, ISO400
F1.4-2.3 Full Range Brightness
LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMILUX Lens
Nano Surface Coating
Technology
The newly developed
LEICA DC VARIOSUMMILUX lens features
F1.4-2.3 outstanding brightness at 2490mm versatile zoom range (35mm
camera equivalent). The extraordinarily
rich amount of light allows not only
using higher shutter speed to capture
exceptionally sharp images in low light
situation, but also giving impressive
expression to the image by reproducing
exquisite gradation and mellow defocus.
Panasonic's black box Nano
Surface Coating technology
boasts extremely low
reflectance ratio and is applied to the
DMC-LX7 for its exceptional optical
performance and stunning clarity by
minimizing flaring and ghosts.
Lens Construction
The lens unit consists of 11 elements in
10 groups with 5 aspherical lenses with
9 aspherical surfaces including the dualsided aspherical surface ED (Extra-low
Dispersion) lens which has never been
adopted to any LUMIX compact cameras
nor interchangeable lenses. Chromatic
aberration is well compensated by the
characteristic mechanism of ED lens
while other distortions are corrected with
the attribute of aspherical lenses at the
same time.

10.1-megapixel High Sensitivity
MOS Sensor and Venus Engine
The DMC-LX7 adopts a new 1/1.7inch 10.1-megapixel MOS Sensor that
realizes unprecedented image quality and
sensitivity. The Venus Engine features
highly advanced signal processing
capabilities in both photo and video
recording. The high speed signal output
technology is integrated to realize
high speed consecutive shooting and
to record full HD 60p (NTSC) / 50p
(PAL) smooth videos. The Intelligent
NR System and the Multi-process NR
System are also incorporated in the
Venus Engine.

A Functional Design with Intuitive Operation that Responds to Your Shootiong Intent
While downsizing the body and lens, the layout of the camera components
has been optimized to enable a more natural shooting flow.
Considerable care has also been given to the selection of materials for the lens barrel and grip.

Other Functions
The newly equipped aperture ring allows
direct, intuitive control of aperture. This
lets you control the rich light source that
the DMC-LX7 can gain.
The jog dial on the back of the camera
lets you freely adjust the exposure and
focus. You can quickly and easily select
functions and make settings as well.
The grip makes the DMC-LX7 easy to
hold and use. Its tactile feel adds to the
comfort thanks to the use of resin and
elastomer materials.
The hot shoe lets you mount an
external flash or the optical 1,440K-dot
equivalent Live View Finder (DMWLVF2). The LVF tilts vertically up to 90°.
The Level Gauge allows the camera to
detect the horizontal / vertical angle of
view with its internal level working with
the acceleration sensor.
The Aspect Bracket function lets the
camera take an image in all aspect ratios
simultaneously, so you can choose the
best one after shooting.
Zoom range can be set to 24mm,
28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 70mm or
90mm (35mm camera equivalent) as
you change the fixed focal length lens.

3.0-inch 920K-dot LCD
The internal ND filter makes it possible
to reduce the light to use slower shutter
speed by 3 steps. It allows opening
aperture to get visible defocus even in
bright outdoor scenes or using slower
shutter speed to express the flow of a
waterfall. It is also available in video
recording.
The aspect can be directly changed with
the aspect switch on the lens barrel from
1:1, 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9. The concentrated
shooting area emphasizes your shooting
intent to produce highly distinctive
results.
Functions that normally have to be
selected or switched from a menu can be
allocated to this button for faster, easier
operation.
The large 3.0-inch 920K-dot highresolution Intelligent LCD provides
remarkable visibility under virtually any
circumstances.
