The DMC FH1 incorporates a developed 28mm wide angle 5x optical zoom f/2.8 6.9 LUMIX DC VARIO lens (35mm camera equivalent: 28 140mm) in a compact body. Comprising 6 elements in five groups, including 3 aspherical lenses with 5 aspherical surfaces, this advanced lens unit realizes the outstandingly slim little body yet achieving exceptional optical performance.The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) on the DMC FH1 compensates for your blurring due to hand shake. Even slight hand shake movement is accurately detected because of a sampling frequency of four years old,000 times per second, and compensated producing sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting for the blur stopping lens with even greater precision to increase increase the detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. Functions for zoom shots and macro shots, which have been especially vunerable to hand shake, and permit you to shoot in mysterious rooms or evening illumination to preserve the atmosphere. To put it briefly, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots without any problem.The sonic speed AF system from the DMC FH1 (boasts a maximum speed of approx. 0.35 second for auto focusing. It includes numerous re engineering enhancements, including a higher speed actuator, optimized algorithms and parallel software processing. What this lead to is fast and accurate AF performance. You will soon get up subjects in focus, just like while you're shooting sports scenes.The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine plus the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery which has been slimmed as small as compliment thinner camera bodies interact to increase the shooting time belonging to the DMC FH1. Allowing users take approx. 310 shots about the same battery charge.

28mm Wide angle 5x Optical Contact with f/2.8 Brightness
The DMC FH1 includes newly developed 28mm wide angle* 5x optical zoom f/2.8 6.9 LUMIX DC VARIO lens (35mm camera equivalent: 28 140mm) to a compact body. Comprising 6 elements in five groups, including 3 aspherical lenses with 5 aspherical surfaces, this advanced lens unit realizes the outstandingly slim and compact body yet achieving exceptional optical performance.

* Changed into standard 35mm camera equivalent, with the maximum wide position.

The 28mm wide angle lens* permits you to easily capture large teams of people indoors or expansive architectural structures and scenes with dynamic width and rich perspective, even from short distances.

* Changed into standard 35mm camera equivalent, inside the maximum wide position.

The DMC FH1 includes a 5x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 28 140mm) and 9.8x Extra Optical Zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 274mm)*1. Adding the Extra Optical Zoom in to the 4x digital zoom*2 extends the sum of the zooming power to at the most 39.2x. *1 During a resolution of 3 megapixel or less. With the DMC FH1, image resolution is kept at its maximum size into the optical tele end whether Extra Optical Zoom is ON.

*2 As digital magnification increases, resolution significantly decreases.

MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) Shake Detection
The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer)* around the DMC FH1 compensates to the blurring attributable to hand shake. Even slight hand shake movement is accurately detected because of a sampling frequency of four,000 times per second, and compensated to offer sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting within the blur stopping lens with sustained precision minimize the stress boost detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. Truely does work for zoom shots and macro shots, which might be especially vulnerable to hand shake, and enables you to shoot in dimly lit rooms or evening illumination to preserve the climate. In other words, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots with no trouble.

* MEGA O.I.S. is automatically turned on in iA Mode allowing it to be switched on or off in Normal Picture Mode or some Scene Modes.

Sonic Speed AF
The Sonic Speed AF system while in the DMC FH1 (has a maximum speed of approx. 0.35 second for auto focusing*. It offers numerous re engineering enhancements, including a higher speed actuator, optimized algorithms and parallel software processing. The outcome is fast and accurate AF performance. You will soon get moving subjects in focus, similar to if you're shooting sports scenes. Extended Battery Life
The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine and then the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery who has been slimmed down to squeeze into thinner camera bodies interact with each other grant the shooting time with the DMC FH1. This lets users take approx. 310 shots about the same battery charge*.

* Good CIPA standard.
