The f/2.2 lens lets the camera shoot at higher shutter speed and capture clear, sharp, blur-free images in lower lighting situation. Together with the anti-blurring function in the iA Mode, the DMC-FX700 never allows any subject to be blurred. The 24mm wide-angle lens captures approx. 213% larger viewing space compared to a normal 35mm lens.
