The DMC FH1 comprises of a developed 28mm wide angle 5x optical zoom f/2.8 6.9 LUMIX DC VARIO lens (35mm camera equivalent: 28 140mm) towards a compact body. Comprising 6 elements in 5 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) while in the DMC FH1 compensates towards the blurring attributed to hand shake. Even slight hand shake movement is accurately detected from a sampling frequency of four,000 times per second, and compensated to supply sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting of the blur stopping lens with sustained precision to increase boost the detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. The system functions for zoom shots and macro shots, which can be especially slippery in some cases hand shake, and will let you shoot in mysterious rooms or evening illumination to preserve the climate. Briefly, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots quickly and completely.The sonic speed AF system inside DMC FH1 (posesses 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. What this lead to is fast and accurate AF performance. You will soon get moving subjects in focus, just like when you are shooting sports scenes.The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine and the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery has been slimmed all the down to fit into thinner camera bodies interact to increase the shooting time on the DMC FH1. Allowing users take approx. 310 shots about the same battery charge.

28mm Wide angle 5x Optical Contact lens with f/2.8 Brightness
The DMC FH1 includes a newly developed 28mm wide angle* 5x optical zoom f/2.8 6.9 LUMIX DC VARIO lens (35mm camera equivalent: 28 140mm) as 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.

* Transformed into standard 35mm camera equivalent, on the maximum wide position.

The 28mm wide angle lens* allow 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, in the maximum wide position.

The DMC FH1 provides a 5x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 28 140mm) and 9.8x Extra Optical Zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 274mm)*1. Adding the excess Optical Zoom towards the 4x digital zoom*2 extends the sum of the zooming chance to at the most 39.2x. *1 In the resolution of 3 megapixel or less. Within the DMC FH1, image resolution is kept at its maximum size towards the optical tele end even if you 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)* while in the DMC FH1 compensates for ones blurring the result of hand shake. Even slight hand shake movement is accurately detected by way of sampling frequency of four,000 times per second, and compensated to supply sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting from the blur stopping lens with increased precision to further enhance the detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. It does the job for zoom shots and macro shots, that happens to be especially vulnerable to hand shake, and permits you to shoot in candlight rooms or evening illumination to preserve the climate. To be brief, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots comfortably.

* MEGA O.I.S. is automatically started up in iA Mode and will be turned on or off in Normal Picture Mode or some Scene Modes.

Sonic Speed AF
The Sonic Speed AF system with the DMC FH1 (includes 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. The exact result is fast and accurate AF performance. You may invariably get going subjects in focus, for example when you are shooting sports scenes. Extended Battery Life
The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine and therefore the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery and that has been slimmed into attach to thinner camera bodies work together to extend the shooting time on the DMC FH1. Allowing users take approx. 310 shots on one battery charge*.

* While using CIPA standard.
