Panasonic has introduced a new rugged camera to its waterproof, freezeproof, shockproof and dustproof tough camera range, the LUMIX FT30. Designed and built with adventurous personalities in mind, the LUMIX FT30 provides stunning picture quality and exceptional performance and endurance, even in the toughest conditions.

Ruggedly-built and available in black, blue, red or orange, the LUMIX FT30 is the ideal companion for capturing those once-in-a-lifetime moments on your travels – from snorkeling with dolphins, to trekking in the desert, to ascending a mountain in sub-zero temperatures.

Ultimate toughness for even the most adventurous personalities

The LUMIX FT30 has been designed and built to be the ultimate tough camera, whatever conditions you find yourself in. Waterproof to 8 metres, shock-proof to 1.5 metres, freeze-proof to -10℃ and dust-proof, the LUMIX FT30 will be your ideal photographic companion whether you’re camping, diving, surfing, mountain climbing or skiing.

Stunning picture quality, wherever you are

The LUMIX FT30 also boasts stunning picture quality giving you incredible results, no matter where your adventures take you. The camera features a high-quality LUMIX DC VARIO lens with 4x optical zoom from 25mm ultra wide angle.

For divers and snorkelers, the red colour reproduction of the Advanced Underwater mode compensates for the red hue which is easily lost in underwater shooting and a new Torch Light function illuminates subjects further in dark underwater conditions enabling users to record beautiful videos.

Take control of your photography with creative shots in all the elements

The LUMIX FT30 is also equipped with a range of manual and automatic modes to help you realise the most creative shots, regardless of the conditions and the model sports a 2.7 inch LCD to provide the most flexible shooting options.

For beginners, or for when there’s not enough time to set-up the perfect shot, the LUMIX FT30 also boasts a range of automatic functions to support you. With the Creative Panorama function you can shoot a horizontal or vertical panoramic image, while Creative Control and Creative Retouch modes featuring a total of 12 filter effects[1] give you the tools you need to enhance any scene you’re looking to take a picture of. With Time Lapse shot meanwhile, you can capture flowers coming into bloom or slow moving cloud in miniscule detail.
