Specifications :LUMIX DMC-FZ35 Features New POWER O.I.S. and HD Motion Zoom Video Capture
Today, Panasonic announced the
new LUMIX DMC-FZ35, a digital camera featuring AVCHD Lite, High
Definition (HD) video recording capability, combined with a powerful
27mm wide-angle, 18x optical zoom LEICA DC lens. A successor to the
popular FZ28, the FZ35 packs enhanced creative features combined with
the power to shoot HD videos, including motion zoom capabilities to
take full advantage of the 18x zoom. The operational layout of the
FZ35 includes a dedicated video record button, making it a true hybrid
– a single model that performs seamlessly at capturing both still and
motion images – while still providing smooth and easy operation in
either mode.
“The LUMIX FZ35 is truly unique
as it includes advanced features like HD video recording, but still
resembles and functions like an intuitive point-and-shoot with the
ability to capture beautiful photos and video,” said David Briganti,
Senior Product Manager, Imaging, Panasonic Consumer Electronics
Company. “This model's versatility makes it a great choice for a new or
advanced user who wants a hybrid device that shoots high-quality still
and motion images.”
For users looking for increased
creativity while shooting both video and still images, the LUMIX FZ35
delivers. New manual controls and creative options, include:
- Creative Movie Mode
Allows the user to set the
shutter speed and aperture manually to make even more impressive
movies. Changing the shutter speed brings special effects to movies,
which is especially suitable for shooting fast-moving subjects. The
ability to control the aperture is convenient when there are several
subjects at different distances.
- My Color Mode
This special option gives free
reign to the user's creativity. The color, brightness and saturation
parameters can be freely adjusted while seeing how the adjustments
affect the picture, live on the monitor.
- High Dynamic Mode
Helps to capture a scene with moderate exposure even though the scene may contain both bright and dark areas.
The 12.1 mega pixel-FZ35 features
the upgraded POWER Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.), which allows for
double the repression power compared to the conventional image
stabilization system, MEGA O.I.S., and ultra high-speed Auto Focus (AF)
for capturing action scenes as they happen. Additionally, with the
super-powerful 18x optical zoom lens, it is easy to capture subjects
that are far away or take dramatic close-ups.
With the enhanced
energy-efficient image processing LSI – the Venus Engine HD* – the FZ35
has an extended battery life of approximately 470 pictures, making it
the ideal choice for active photo enthusiasts. As with all Panasonic
LUMIX cameras, the FZ35 features Intelligent Auto (iA) Mode, a suite of
intuitive technologies including Face Detection, Intelligent Scene
Selector, Intelligent Exposure and Face Recognition. With the improved
Face Recognition, the FZ35 recognizes up to three faces simultaneously
while taking photos** and allows users to specify the age of the
registered subject. When babies under 3 years-old are registered, the
camera will automatically switch to Baby mode if the baby appears to be
in the frame.
Panasonic took the wraps off of three
new digital cameras today, with the first being the long-awaited
