If you're a more serious enthusiast, the DMC-FZ offers a wealth of options and features to play with. One of the new features in this camera is Intelligent Resolution which was introduced this year by Panasonic. This feature is responsible for 2 things: it can make a standard photo look like a high resolution image, or it can increase the zoom magnification to 32X with very little loss in image quality.
Panasonic also added something useful to the white balance options. So now if you shoot in conditions not covered by the presets, you can switch to one of the shortcuts you created. The button for doing so is also at the top of the camera. Just press the button and it'll start recording. Press it again to stop.
Which format should you use? That same Intelligent Auto mode can also be used for movie recording as well, which is pretty cool. Just choose the iA mode, and start recording. The camera will determine the best scene mode to use from normal, macro, portrait, low light, scenery. It'll also detect any faes to focus on.
Another plus is that you can zoom while video recording as well. The only negative is that the zoom speed is very slow slower than if you're shooting photos , and it's pretty noisy as well. You can choose continuous auto-focus while recording, but we highly recommend not doing so that much.
Because some parts of your movie will be blurred before they become sharp, as a result of the refocusing. We also suggest using a tripod when recording, as you undoubtably will be shaking a lot. Burst mode is clocked at 11 fps for up to 15 photos. If you want continuous autofocusing, you have to go down to 5 frames per second. That said, I'm extremely happy with this camera thus far. Pros: Excelent image quality, awesome full HD video quality, fast shooting and power on, lot of features and menu options.
Con: Low isos, low internal memory 40mb. Sorry about my english, I'm spanish native speaker. Skip to main content. About this product. Make an offer:. Last one! Stock photo.

Sold by electronicsbasket The powerful 24x optical zoom can be used both in still and motion picture recording.
The extra optical zoom function uses the center part of the MOS sensor to extend this 24x zoom ratio to powerful zoom at a resolution of 3-megapixel or less in still picture recording. In the creative movie mode, the shutter speed and aperture can be adjusted. The IA mode can also be activated in motion picture recording.
To realize the Full HD movie recording, the The frame rate, AF setting and the recording resolution can be easily selected with a dedicated button on the top of the camera. The IA mode is advanced with the motion deblur mode by updating the intelligent ISO control and intelligent exposure to gain shutter speed.

The best price vs perfomance camera. A metal-lined tripod socket sits beside it but is not aligned with the optical axis of the lens. Sensor and Image Processing Once again, Panasonic has increased the resolution of its flagship FZ-series model, this time from The new camera provides users with two options for continuous shooting of still frames. If you swap to the electronic shutter, image resolution is reduced but the camera can record up to 60 frames at 3.
You can even record bursts of shots while shooting a movie. The top burst rate available in this mode is 10 fps for up to 40 frames at 3. The outlines and detailed textures are enhanced with edge-sharpening processing, while noise reduction processing is applied to the soft gradations to make them appear even smoother. RAW file format.
Like its predecessor, the FZ changes aspect ratio by cropping the top and bottom of the frame; the horizontal pixel count remains identical for the , and aspect ratios.
Compression ratios for JPEG files appear to be higher than in the FZ35 — at least for larger image sizes; smaller sizes are slightly less compressed. Typical image sizes are shown in the table below. Unlike its predecessor, the FZ supports Full HD x 50i resolution as well as the lower p widescreen capture.
Stereo soundtracks are recorded through twin microphone grilles atop the pop-up flash housing. Continuous movie recording is supported for up to 15 minutes — or 2GB. Typical recording times are shown in the table below.
Zooming is possible while movies are being recorded and the zoom mechanism has been designed to minimise any sounds produced during focusing or zooming. You can also capture still shots by pressing the shutter button while shooting video clips. A Wind Cut function is also available to suppress noise from background wind. And the software bundle contains some of the same applications, although not all of them. The user manual in PDF format is provided on a separate disk from the rest of the bundled software.
Performance Pictures taken with the review camera were generally well-exposed. As in the FZ35, blown-out highlights were common in shots taken in sunny conditions unless the High Dynamic scene mode was used. Imatest showed the review camera to be capable of high resolution, although neither high-resolution JPEGs nor raw files converted with Silkypix Developer Studio 3. With most focal length settings, the highest resolutions were obtained at wide apertures.
Edge softening was relatively minor at most focal lengths and apertures. The graph below shows the results of our tests, which were unable to cover the entire focal length range of the lens due to a lack of space in our testing set-up.
We found the expected decline in resolution as sensitivity was increased — although it was much less than expected at the highest ISO settings and high-ISO performance was visible better than we found with the FZ The graph below shows the results of our tests. Lateral chromatic aberration ranged between negligible for most focal lengths but moved into the low band with the 4. Not unexpectedly, we found little evidence of coloured fringing in test shots.
