As the flagship model of the popular Lumix FZ150 FZ Series combines the new 12.1-megapixel MOS sensor and Venus Engine known for giving the camera's high performance video recording as well as a greater sensitivity and speed. And a step-up, recently announced the Lumix FZ47 is 1920 x 1080 60i video function, FZ150 produces a 1920 x 1080 60p Progressive Full HD AVCHD (MPEG-4 / H.264) format. E 'can also take pictures while recording video at the same time (3.5 megapixels) and a 24x optical power zoom is available in video recording. FZ150 includes a zoom stereo microphone wind noise reduction function, so that the video will be a high-quality stereo sound via Dolby ® Digital Stereo Creator.
The Light Speed AF of approx. 0.1 sec never miss fleeting photo opportunities. To encourage step-up users to enjoy shooting again, full manual control is available with the FZ150. Users can enjoy the photo shoot while expressing their intention not only images but also in the video, use a plethora of options, including creative control of new photos in style with a wide range of fixed parameters. The effectiveness of hand-shake correction system power OIS now in active mode gains, which allows to record video simultaneously stable while walking.
Popular in the LUMIX iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode, interest in helping in any shooting situation to get the best results. Thanks to the Intelligent Resolution technology, the Intelligent Zoom is available FZ150 expand the zoom ratio of about. 1.3 times, while maintaining the image quality in combination with digital zoom. This means, 24x optical zoom can virtually extend to 32x equivalent. Not only is approaching the subject is far from its powerful optical zoom and 25 mm ultra wide viewing angle captures approx.196% larger compared to a standard 35 mm camera. This is useful for describing the dynamic landscape or portrait, internal Group.
The popular iA (Intelligent Auto) is also available in movie recording. The POWER (Optical Image Stabilization) OIS, Face Detection, Intelligent Scene Selector, and Intelligent D-range control also support shooting beautiful video with ease. Intelligent Scene Selector automatically switches between Normal, Portrait, Macro, Scenery, and Low Light modes according to the situation to optimize visual quality. Intelligent control of D-Range makes images look more natural, preventing blocked shadows and overexposed areas to maximize exposure for each part of an image. It also offers a beautiful reproduction of gradations and details.
A new 12-megapixel high-sensitivity MOS sensor to continue the resolution, sensitivity and speed have been incorporated with the famous Venus Engine allows FZ150 to excel in the power of image processing. The combination of these results in the improvement of powerful components S / N of 3.9dB (ISO 100) to 4.7dB (ISO 1600) compared to its predecessor - the FZ100. Newly developed multi-process, noise reduction applies optimal noise reduction by the brightness of the portion of the image. So many high-frequency noise that occurs during the dark and low frequency noise in the light is removed, even in an image. As a result, images taken in low light situations now dramatically clear.
The Venus Engine has a number processing circuit of four large volumes of data in full HD progressive speed high. Not only does 1920 x 1080 video recording 60p Full HD fluid, but also super-fast consecutive shots at 12 fps (without autofocus) and 5.5 fps (with autofocus) at full resolution. It also supports video recording in QVGA high-speed 220FP. At the same time, multi-task image processing Venus Engine, achieves a response time Ultra-fast. Autofocus profits. 50% faster speed compared to the FZ100, achieving AF speed of light approx. 0.1 seconds. The speed of the AF tracking is also becoming faster, thanks to improved performance monitoring doubling the sampling frequency.
FZ150 control mode offers new and creative ways with a selection of artistic effects, expressive, retro key, high, Sepia, High dynamic effect, miniature, Film Grain and Pin Hole. In addition, the Picture Style was added to the FZ150 for the expression of nuances. It has Standard, Vivid, natural, black and white landscape, portrait presets, while allowing finer adjustment of the reduction of contrast, sharpness, saturation and noise of each.
The next step FZ47, FZ150 has a hot shoe allows mounting of various accessories including an optional stereo microphone (DMW-MS1) or an optional external flash (DMW-FL220 / FL360 / FL500). FZ150 is also compatible with the optional remote shutter release (CR-DC1) expression of advanced photography.
Just added 3D Photo mode takes 20 shots and then move the camera automatically selects the most suitable two images - one of the right eye and left eye - to synthesize composite 3D. 3-D image can then watch any 3D VIERA HDTV. 3D format is compatible with the MPO MPO can be played on other compatible devices.
Other features of the Panasonic LUMIX FZ150 are:
Deblur movement mode, which helps prevent blurring.
Intelligent NightShot mode pocket, which generates a landscape with a beautiful night lighting by superimposing multiple images shot consecutively.
PHOTOfunSTUDIO 6.5 BD Edition software to sort and organize your photos, not just new facts but also the ones stored on the PC with a fast start and speed of image reading. Videos recorded can be edited by the film and the story written in MPEG2 to burn to a DVD or Blu-ray
