\"GF7s_back.web\"<\/a>Drawing on news that the term \u2018selfie\u2019 was reportedly mentioned 92 million times on Twitter last year, the Panasonic Lumix GF7 boasts a Self Shot mode \u2013 activated when the user flips up the 180\u00b0, 3in (1.04-million-dot resolution) LCD monitor.<\/p>\n

For a smoother look on selfies, users can deploy the camera\u2019s Soft Skin mode.<\/p>\n

Defocusing and a \u2018slimming\u2019 effects are also possible \u2013 the latter designed to make a subject\u2019s face appear slimmer, adds Panasonic.<\/p>\n

The DMC-GF7\u00a0(to give the camera its full name)\u00a0also includes a mode designed to trigger the shutter when a couple\u2019s faces are close enough for a couply self-portrait, by using face detection.<\/p>\n

For an action twist, the GF7 incorporates Jump Snap, where a smartphone can be used to fire the GF7\u2019s shutter when its user leaps into the air.<\/p>\n

\u2018The remote control smartphone automatically detects the highest point of your jump, and releases the Lumix GF7\u2019s shutter while you\u2019re in mid-air,\u2019 explained Panasonic.<\/p>\n
