Featuring a stylish design, durable build and incorporating a fixed 25mm-400mm F2.8-4.0 Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens, Panasonic’s Lumix FZ1000 provides stunning image quality without the need for additional accessories and lenses. The Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 is also the world’s first bridge camera offering 4K recording, for capturing breath-taking video content with four times the resolution of Full HD.
With an array of industry-leading specs and functions, the Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 is the ideal bridge between standard compact cameras and more complex, bulky DSLRs. Its 20.1 MP sensor gives outstanding results at the press of a button, without the need for complex set-up and settings. Combining performance, durability and practicality in a single package, the Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 makes it easy to pick up and capture amazing video and images every time - perfect if you’re on holiday, watching wildlife or simply enjoying a day out with the family.
The Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 features a 20.1MP 1-inch High Sensitivity MOS sensor approximately four times larger than the 1/2.3-inch sensor found in the majority of comparable cameras. Panasonic’s vast experience of cutting-edge sensor research has resulted in a significantly larger pixel size that enables more light to be received, providing highly sensitive image recording for remarkable low light performance.
The bright DC Vario-Elmarit lens with 16x optical zoom has gone through Leica’s stringent testing to ensure the device delivers exceptional optical performance with every single photo and video. Furthermore, the high-end camera’s F2.8-F4.0 bright aperture helps the user to take zoomed shots without the common issue of blurring. Also, with the fixed 16x Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens (35mm camera equivalent: 25-400mm), users don’t need to carry countless lenses and accessories, making those tricky vantage points that little bit easier to reach.
Panasonic has redefined the compact camera, creating the very first to include 4K video, recording at four times the resolution of Full HD. The combination of 4K (QFHD 4K: 3840x2160, up to 25fps (PAL) in MP4), the large sensor and bright LEICA lens create video quality that has to be seen to be believed. Whether the content is viewed on a 4K or Full HD screen, the LUMIX DMC-FZ1000’s 4K video capability makes each detail more accurate and every colour more authentic to the original. The Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 can also record in a variety of high quality video outputs – including MP4 and AVCHD – so budding filmmakers can transfer, edit and enjoy their movies quickly and conveniently. What’s more, users can even take stills after capturing 4K video, creating a 4K image full of detail and depth.
As well as up to 30 minutes continuous shooting in 4K , the Panasonic Lumix FZ1000’s High Speed Video function allows users to capture Full HD at 100 fps (PAL) for smooth and seamless video recording.
Powered by a liner motor system and Panasonic’s Depth from Defocus technology, the camera achieves focus speeds that are 275% faster than the Panasonic Lumix FZ200 and the majority of conventional bridge models. With 0.09 second focus in wide mode and 0.17 second focus in tele mode when using the Live View Finder (LVF), even the fastest moving objects can by captured with unbeatable accuracy and precision.
The Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 also incorporates dual rapid response, crystal clear displays to make framing and reviewing images and video more enjoyable than ever. Both the redesigned 2,359k OLED Live View Finder (LVF) and 3-inch 921-K dot LCD display offer outstanding resolution. With a reaction time 300% quicker than similar models – the view through the LVF is 100% true to the original.
The Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 includes 22 different filters, from Sepia and High Dynamic to Soft Focus and Miniature Effect. The camera integrates Wi-Fi connectivity with NFC technology to offer the most flexible shooting experience as well as instant image sharing, even when you’re away from home. What’s more, with the use of a smartphone or tablet, users can remotely shoot both still images and video, as well as adjust zoom, focus, aperture and exposure.
