Powerful 12x Optical Zoom - LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT Lens
& ED Lens with Optical Image Stabilization.
The
DMC-FZ30's LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens features 14 elements
in 8 groups, including 3 aspherical lenses and an ED (extra-low
dispersion) lens which helps to suppress the color bleeding
that often occurs in telephoto shots, plus a 12x optical
zoom (35mm equivalent: 35 to 420mm).
 This
lens combines with the large, 1/1.8" diagonal 8-megapixel
CCD to give you enormous expressive power. The new Extended
Optical Zoom, which minimizes the image degradation that
normally occurs with digital zooming, gives you up to 19.1x
power in 3-megapixel photos, and up to 15x power in 5-megapixel
photos. Plus, the 12x optical zoom can be used together
with the 4x digital zoom to produce a maximum of 48x zooming
power.
Accurate,
Flexible Focusing - Both Auto and Manual
In addition to five auto focus modes (1-point, 3-point high-speed,
9-point, spot AF, and 1-point high-speed AF), the FZ30 features
a ring that lets you manually adjust the focus from 0.98
feet (0.3m) to infinity. It also has Manual Focus Assist,
a function that shows an enlarged image of the subject's
center in the viewfinder. The One-Shot AF function in manual
focus mode lets you focus automatically for a single shot
by pressing the "FOCUS" button. The Continuous
AF function keeps moving subjects in sharp focus, and the
AF Assist Lamp helps in dim lighting. This all adds up to
easy, accurate focusing.
The
MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer Helps Eliminate Blurry Pictures
Jitter from shaky hands is one of the main reasons why cameras
produce blurry images. We don't expect everyone to have
hands of stone when taking pictures--that's why Lumix®
cameras help solve the problem of unsteady hands with advanced
MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer technology. The DMC-FZ30K
has a built-in gyrosensor that detects any hand movement
and relays a signal to a tiny microcomputer inside the camera,
which instantly calculates the compensation needed. A linear
motor then shifts the Optical Image Stabilizer lens as necessary
to guide incoming light from the image straight to the CCD.
You won't even notice it working--all you'll see are the
outstanding results!

Manual
Focus & Zoom Rings with Intuitive Control
The manual focus ring lets you focus on whatever part of
your subject you wish, and the zoom ring lets you zoom in
and out easily and accurately as you compose the perfect
shot. They're both fast, so you can capture moving subjects
in your composition.
Free-Angle
2.0" Diagonal High-Resolution LCD
Change the angle of the high-resolution 230,000-pixel 2.0"
diagonal LCD monitor any way you like. You get the flexibility
to catch a high-angle shot over a crowd, or a low-angle
shot of flowers in a garden, all with a comfortable posture.
MEGA
BURST® Consecutive Shooting
You can snap off consecutive shots at 3 frames per second
with full resolution up to 7 images in standard mode, 4
images in fine mode. In addition, the Unlimited Consecutive
Shooting function lets you continue shooting until the memory
card is full.
Instant
Close-ups with a Single Switch
Regardless of the Mode Dial setting, you can take macro
shots instantly by flicking the switch on the side of the
lens to the AF Macro setting. This lets you get as close
as 0.16 feet (5cm) from your subject (at the maximum wide-angle
setting).
1.
As digital magnification increases, resolution significantly
decreases.
2. Max. 7 images in Standard mode/4 images in Fine mode.
3. Consecutive shooting depends on memory card size, battery
power, picture size, and compression. The consecutive shooting
speed varies depending on the speed of the memory card.
