Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50EG-S

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50EG-S ... SDHC - silver / An 10.1-megapixel high resolution CCD has now joined the FZ series of 12x zoom lenses with MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer). The Extra Optical Zoom function further increases zooming power to 21.4x while suppressing image degradation.

Blur compensation performance has evolved even further. Now you can capture clear, sharp photos in almost any shooting situations. LUMIX's popular MEGA O.I.S. suppresses the blurring caused by handshake, and Intelligent ISO Control minimizes blurring caused by subject movement when photographing children, animals, or other moving subjects. So you get less blurring and more beauty.

Venus Engine III, the newly improved image processing LSI, inherits the conventional Venus Engine II's quick response and high-quality image output, yet dramatically reduces noise levels. This makes it possible to shoot at ISO 1600 with full resolution.

In addition to advanced manual control with zoom ring and focus ring, the DMC-FZ50 is equipped with a new Function button that serves as a shortcut to quickly set frequently used settings. This helps you take photos exactly as you envision them. Also, thanks to the Custom Setting function, your frequent setting patterns can be memorized.

The Free-angle LCD is now adjustable to 180 degrees both vertically and horizontally. This assists smooth shooting even in high and low-angle shooting positions.

The mode dial makes it easy to retrieve the desired mode settings. A variety of Scene Mode settings optimize Scenery, Panning, and other photo techniques, giving you a choice of sixteen modes in all.

The DMC-FZ50 can record beautiful WVGA (848 x 480-pixel) motion pictures and zooming while shooting. You will also discover many other ways to explore the fun and creativity of photography.
