The DMC FH1 includes developed 28mm wide angle 5x optical zoom f/2.8 6.9 LUMIX DC VARIO lens (35mm camera equivalent: 28 140mm) right into 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 and compact body yet achieving exceptional optical performance.The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) within the DMC FH1 compensates for the blurring because of hand shake. Even slight hand shake movement is accurately detected from a sampling frequency of 4,000 times per second, and compensated to build sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting within the blur stopping lens with even greater precision the strain add to the detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. Truely does work for zoom shots and macro shots, that can be especially subject to hand shake, and enable you to shoot in candlight rooms or evening illumination to preserve the climate. Simply speaking, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots in no time.The sonic speed AF system inside 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. The results is fast and accurate AF performance. You may invariably get going subjects in focus, for instance if you end up shooting sports scenes.The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine as well as the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery that's been slimmed as small as compliment thinner camera bodies interact to increase the shooting time for the DMC FH1. Allowing users take approx. 310 shots using one battery charge.

28mm Wide angle 5x Optical Contact lens with f/2.8 Brightness
The DMC FH1 boasts a newly 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 and compact body yet achieving exceptional optical performance.

* Converted to standard 35mm camera equivalent, within the maximum wide position.

The 28mm wide angle lens* permit you to easily capture large sets 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, around the maximum wide position.

The DMC FH1 contains a 5x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 28 140mm) and 9.8x Extra Optical Zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 274mm)*1. Adding any additional Optical Zoom in the 4x digital zoom*2 extends the sum of zooming chance to a maximum of 39.2x. *1 With only a resolution of 3 megapixel or less. Inside DMC FH1, image resolution is kept at its maximum size to the optical tele end reliable 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)* within the DMC FH1 compensates for that blurring attributed to hand shake. Even slight hand shake movement is accurately detected by way of sampling frequency of four,000 times per second, and compensated to create sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting on the blur stopping lens with even greater precision to help expand enhance the detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. The system functions for zoom shots and macro shots, which have been especially can also be hand shake, and enables you to shoot in mysterious rooms or evening illumination to preserve the climate. To sum up, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots effortlessly.

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

Sonic Speed AF
The Sonic Speed AF system inside DMC FH1 (is known for 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 end result is fast and accurate AF performance. You may invariably get going subjects in focus, for instance when shooting sports scenes. Extended Battery Life
The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine and also the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery who has been slimmed due to accommodate with thinner camera bodies interact to supply the shooting time belonging to the DMC FH1. Allowing users take approx. 310 shots for a passing fancy battery charge*.

* Good CIPA standard.
