The number of photos that a camera can take with a fully charged battery is an important performance factor. It determines the mobility of the digital camera. The key to improving this performance is downsizing the battery, raising the battery capacity, and improving the energy efficiency of the engine. Each new generation of the Venus Engine has helped to increase this number by improving the camera's image processing performance and achieving more efficient energy use, while also expanding features and incorporating new functions.
Thanks to the energy-efficient Venus Engine III imaging engine, LUMIX offer a long battery life despite their large, bright LCDs. Venus Engine III was realized 80% lower power consumption than Venus Engine II while adding the new features.
