Camera that whitens teeth, puts make-up!

London: Fixing people's faces in photos using the Photoshop magic is
nothing new.

But you can now give a quick boost to your appearance during that
photo-taking moment with the help of a camera that comes with airbrush
function to whiten teeth and add makeup, reports the Daily Mail.

Electronics firm Panasonic has released its new Lumin DMC-FX77 that
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 a 16 megapixel
sensor and 3.5in TFT Touch Screen LCD display will even add makeup and
smooth skin, according to the makers.

Different modes aim to do different things to portraits and pictures
of your face.

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 percent 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.
