16x Optical Zoom LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT Lens with 25mm Ultra Wide-Angle
The DMC-FZ1000 incorporates newly developed F2.8-4.0 LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens with 16x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 25-400mm). Comprising 15 elements in 11 groups, including 4 ED lens and 5 aspherical lenses with 8 aspherical surfaces, this advanced lens unit achieves high MTF value. Adoption of 5 aspherical glass lenses achieves beautiful, evenly smooth defocus with invisible edge line, which is made possible by Panasonic’s unique aspherical lens mould technology.
The World’s First 4K Video Recording Capability*
The DMC-FZ1000 features 4K video recording capability (QFHD 4K: 3840 x 2160, 30 fps (NTSC) / 25 fps (PAL) in MP4). It also ushers in a new form of photo creativity by letting you cut out 8-megapixel equivalent images from 4K video footage to capture spur-of-the-moment shots. Powerful 16x optical zoom with 5-step speed control enables smooth zoom control. The 5-axis HYBRID O.I.S+ with Active Mode**, Creative Video mode and High Speed video in full-HD are also available.
