and the image is actually processed.

flash has an
automatic set-
ting, perfect for
indoor use or in
dim lighting, as

12x F2.8 Leica DC Vario-Elmarit Zoom Lens
Despite its hefty size, the 400mm– class
F2.8 telephoto (for 35mm film cameras)
is favored by many photographers for its
brightness. Now you can get the same
level of specifications in a small, remark-
ably lightweight camera.
◆ With an incredible 12x optical
zoom equivalent to a 35-420mm
lens on a 35mm camera and F2.8
brightness across the entire 12x
zoom range, this exciting lens puts
you in control of a wide variety of
photo techniques.
◆ Capture broad, sweeping vistas with
wide-angle shots. Take portraits that fix the subject in clear, sharp focus while
applying a softer focus to the background. Or simply aim into the distance and
catch dynamic 12x telephoto shots.
◆ With this lens, Lumix introduces a new zoom lens design that uses 13 elements
in eight groups to provide sharp image rendering and outstanding color repro-
duction. Four aspherical elements compensate for spherical abberations (com-
monly found in large diameter lenses) using fewer lens elements. This, in turn,
helps the FZ1 achieve its ultra compact size and remarkable light weight.
◆ Unique lens multi-coating technology minimizes the flare that can cloud images
and ghosts caused by excessive light passing through the lens. You can capture
scenes with excellent ambience even in difficult situations, such as when there
is backlighting.
NEW! DMC-FZ10
As we go to print, Panasonic has just
introduced the first 4-megapixel consumer
digital camera with 12x optical zoom.
Elevating the performance of digital still
cameras to a new standard of excellence,
the Lumix DMC-FZ10’s powerful 12x
zoom is equivalent to a 35 - 420mm
zoom lens on a conventional 35mm
camera and features F2.8 brightness
throughout the entire zoom range. It also
features Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S. (Optical
Image Stabilizer) which helps to deliver sharp,
vivid images even when taking handheld telephoto shots or shooting in low light.
With it’s precision Leica lens, extraordinary telephoto features and no-lag processing
speed, this camera is able to capture every detail of distant or quick-moving subjects with
superb brightness and clarity.
