Panasonic DMC-FZ7K Lumix Digital Camera

Powerful Leica DC Vario-Elmarit Lens with a 12x Optical Zoom
The FZ7 features a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit Lens with a remarkable 12x optical zoom, equivalent to a 35 to 430mm lens on a 35mm film camera. A film camera with an optical zoom this powerful would be so big and heavy, you couldn't handle it with one hand. The FZ7, on the other hand, is small, lightweight and easy to handle. It also has Panasonic's Extended Optical Zoom. While causing minimal deterioration by using the center part of the high resolution CCD, this function magnifies the image to give you total zoom power of 17.5x, roughly equivalent to a huge 1680mm lens on a 35mm camera.

MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer
Panasonic insists on using an optical image stabilizer rather than an electric one because there is no image degradation with optical processing. MEGA O.I.S. lets you expand your shooting possibilities. For example, using the MEGA O.I.S. and a slow shutter speed lets you capture a sunset scene or shots in dim indoor lighting without losing the mood or atmosphere.

High Sensitivity Mode
This mode helps suppress motion blur by automatically setting the ISO sensitivity to 1600, which increases the shutter speed. It also lets you take clearer, sharper shots in dim lighting without using a flash.

2.5" Diagonal LCD and High Resolution EVF
The FZ7 features a large, 2.5" diagonal LCD and the Power LCD function. Simply touch the Power LCD button and the display becomes about 40% brighter for easier viewing on sunny days. The FZ7 also has the world's first developed High Angle LCD feature, which makes it easier to check the LCD when you're holding the camera high to shoot over a crowd. The large LCD lets you check the focus, frame the shot, and use functions like 25 thumbnail display and Calendar View in comfort, with no eye strain. Also, we aligned the electronic viewfinder and LCD along the same line of sight to minimize differences in the images you see when framing shots.

MEGA BURST Consecutive Shooting
You can snap off up to 14 consecutive shots at a swift 3 frames per second in Standard mode. The FZ7 also has Unlimited Consecutive Shooting, so you can keep on shooting until the SD Memory Card is full.

Simple, Flexible Manual Focus
The joystick on the back of the camera gives you quick, easy and accurate manual focusing. You can also use the Manual Focus Assist function, which helps you set a perfect focus by magnifying the center of the LCD image and displaying a bar graph of the focal distance and depth of field.

Easy Manual Operation Using the Joystick
The joystick also makes it easy to manually adjust the exposure and focus. You can set the aperture, shutter speed and focus with your thumb while framing the shot on the LCD monitor. Press and hold down the joystick, and you can also instantly change four key settings (white balance, ISO sensitivity, image size, and image quality) while viewing the subject on the monitor. There's no need to switch to the menu screen.
