Be ready to catch the greatest moments

Adding the new DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology to the conventional Light Speed AF has achieved both higher precision and greater speed at approx. 0.09 sec*. Combined with a 0.66 sec quick start-up time* and 12fps burst shooting in full resolution turn those once-in-a-lifetime moments into memories that last forever.

F2.8-4.0 25-400mm LEICA DC Lens
|The newly developed LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens features 5 aspherical glass lenses, which are made possible by Panasonic's unique aspherical lens mold technology. In combination with the large 1-inch MOS sensor your photos will get a shallow depth of field with an impressive defocus effect featuring invisible edge lines.

Large 1-Inch 20.1 Megapixel MOS Sensor
The FZ1000 captures crisp and clear images with minimum noise even when shooting photos at ISO12800 thanks to the newly incorporated 1-inch High Sensitivity MOS Sensor. Because of its large size, the sensor processes a very high amount of light and helps producing impressive defocus shots.

VENUS ENGINE - Advanced Image Processing
The newly developed Venus Engine features multiple noise reduction systems such as Multi Process NR, Random Filter and Aperture Filter to achieve high color reproduction and high image quality with natural description. The combination of the High Sensitivity MOS Sensor and the Venus Engine achieves stunning picture quality going beyond the traditional limits of digital compact cameras.

Macro Shooting
With the new FZ1000 you can capture stunning macro shots with a minimum focusing distance of 3cm. Get close enough to express spectacular details of blooming flowers, colourful insects or unique stones among riverbeds.

4K Video Recording and 8 Megapixel Still Images
Besides its incredibly detailed 4K video recording capability (QFHD 4K: 3840x2160, 25 fps in MP4)* the new FZ1000 is also proposing a new way of photo creation. By cutting out a 3840x2160 8 Megapixel equivalent still image from the 4K video footage you can photograph the spur-of-the-moment which often missed in still image photography.

Stereo Zoom Microphone
Videos recorded with the FZ1000 also come with high-quality, highly realistic Dolby® Digital stereo sound. The stereo zoom microphone features a zoom noise reduction system and the Auto Wind Cut function blocks out most of the noise from background wind. With the DMW-MS2* Stereo/Shotgun Microphone, you can adjust the sound gathering characteristics to match the shooting situation.

Smooth Electronic Zooming in 5 speed steps
During video recording the 16x optical zoom function is available, too. As an advanced function, the FZ1000 offers controlled zoom operation in five electronic zoom speeds from low to fast to match each shooting situation.

Optical Image Stabilisation with Tilt Correction
The incorporated HYBRID O.I.S.+ with 5-axis correction enables blur-free one-handed video recording. It detects and compensates for the camera's 5 types of movement – horizontal, vertical, axis of rotation, vertical rotation and horizontal rotation. The Level Shot Function of the FZ1000 detects the image's horizontal line and maintains it even if the camera is tilted.

High Speed Video in Full-HD
With the new FZ1000 you can record high-speed videos at 100fps in Full HD quality and even play them back in dramatic slow motion - 5 times slower than the original recording.

Time Lapse Shot
Leave the camera for stationary recording of subjects such as astronomical observation, flowers coming into bloom or scudding clouds. The series of consequent images can be combined in the camera to produce a time lapse video.
