Connectivity
Software
The Panasonic FS20 comes with the following assortment of programs: PhotofunStudio –viewer- for browsing photos, ArcSoft MediaImpression, ArcSoft Panorama Maker to compose wide photos, QuickTime for video, Adobe Reader, and a USB Driver.
Jacks, Ports, Plugs
The Lumix camera has two ports to connect the camera to a computer or display monitor such as a television set: AV Out/Digital, and DC In.
Direct Print Options
Users can print photos without using a computer. Users can connect the camera to a PictBridge-compatible printer with options to select the number of printed copies and date information.
Battery
 The Panasonic FS20 includes a lithium-ion battery, as opposed to AA batteries that some point-and-shoots use. Lithium-ion batteries arguably last longer, but they lose points in convenience and widespread availability associated with AA batteries. Unless consumers are traveling without access to a power outlet, the lithium-ion battery is usually preferable.
Memory
The Panasonic Lumix FS20 has 50 MB of internal memory. That’s pretty good for most point-and-shoots, although Sony ranks the highest with 2 GB of built-in storage space. Users of the Lumix will certainly need to purchase an additional memory card of the compatible SD, SDHC, or MMC media.
Other Features
Internal Keypad – The Panasonic FS20 has an internal keyboard, accessed through the Playback menu. Users can label their images through Title Edit and Text Stamp to help organize pictures before viewing on a computer.
