Now a camera to make your pics better looking

LONDON, UK: Every girl wishes she could dab on some makeup to improve her looks before getting her picture clicked. Now, Panasonic's Lumin DMC-FX77 includes a built-in 'Beauty Retouch' mode which aims to whiten teeth, put colour on your cheeks and reduce wrinkles.

The airbrushing software on the camera, which includes a16 megapixel sensor and 3.5in TFT Touch Screen LCD display will even add makeup and smooth skin, the makers say.

Different modes aim to do different things to portraits and pictures of your face. Esthetic for example can clean up skin and teeth, the Daily Mail reports.

Several grades of 'face fixing' can be applied to pictures, the more intense levels can lead to the subject of the photo being more terrifying than attractive. Make-up mode is perhaps the most interesting.

Here, you are presented with a choice of colours and tones to apply foundation, blush and even lipstick.

The selection of colours range from subtle light brown eye shadow to a more shocking pink.

However, without yet fully testing the product, it is hard to say whether the end results can truly be seen as a real improvement.

But from pictures seen, before and after images show people being transformed into either super smooth skinned subjects with incredibly white teeth, or daubed in seemingly thick layers of makeup.

Best results are, apparently, achieved using Esthetic mode, which at between 60 or 80 per cent with 'head to shine removal' applied is said to gently glam up one's face.

The camera is essentially the European version of the Japanese Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP7.
