LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT Lens with ED Lens
and Super-Powerful 12x Optical Zoom
The FZ50's LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens features 14 elements in 10
groups, including 3 aspherical lenses and an ED (extra-low dispersion)
lens which helps suppress the colour bleeding that can occur in
telephoto shots, plus a 12x optical zoom (35mm equivalent: 35 to
420mm). The FZ50 also features Extra Optical Zoom, which gives you
up to 21.4x power* by magnifying (with minimal deterioration) the
image using the center area of the high-resolution CCD.
*Actual zoom power varies with the image size and aspect ratio.
Accurate, Flexible Focusing Both Auto and Manual
The switch on the lens barrel makes it easy to select from one of many
settings: auto-focus, AF macro and manual focus. The FZ50 also has
Manual Focus Assist, which makes it easier to focus by enlarging a
part of the image that you see in the viewfinder or LCD monitor.
Intelligent ISO Control Forestalls Motion Blur
In addition to low-noise shooting at up to ISO 1600 with full resolution,
the FZ50 features the world's first* "Intelligent ISO Control" in ISO
setting, which helps you get blur-free shots by automatically adjusting
the ISO sensitivity (up to ISO 800) and shutter speed according to how
much the subject is moving. The
Scene mode features a High
Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200)** for
shooting at even higher shutter
speeds.
*As of July 19th, 2006. **Note that
resolution is significantly lower in this mode

Two Command Dials for Quick Settings
Two dials on the camera top make it easy to adjust the exposure setting while
holding the camera to your eye. In Manual mode, one dial adjusts the aperture,
the other adjusts the shutter speed. In Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority
modes, one sets the aperture or shutter speed, the other sets the exposure
compensation (-2 to +2 in 1/3 EV steps). The large right hand grip makes the
camera easy to hold, and these dials are exactly where you need them.
