The DMC FH1 comes with a 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 little body yet achieving exceptional optical performance.The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) in the DMC FH1 compensates for those blurring a result of hand shake. Even slight hand shake movement is accurately detected from a sampling frequency of four years old,000 times per second, and compensated to deliver sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting of this blur stopping lens with sustained precision to help promote increase the detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. It reallyworks for zoom shots and macro shots, that happen to be especially vulnerable to hand shake, and helps you shoot in candlight rooms or evening illumination to preserve the climate. In other words, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots with ease.The sonic speed AF system with the DMC FH1 (has a maximum speed of approx. 0.35 second for auto focusing. It provides numerous re engineering enhancements, including a higher speed actuator, optimized algorithms and parallel software processing. The results is fast and accurate AF performance. It's easy to get up subjects in focus, similar to if you're shooting sports scenes.The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine and then the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery containing been slimmed into compliment thinner camera bodies band together grant the shooting time of the DMC FH1. This lets users take approx. 310 shots using one battery charge.

28mm Wide angle 5x Optical Contact 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) 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 and compact body yet achieving exceptional optical performance.

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

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

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

The DMC FH1 incorporates a 5x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 28 140mm) and 9.8x Extra Optical Zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 274mm)*1. Adding the other Optical Zoom to the 4x digital zoom*2 extends full zooming power to no more than 39.2x. *1 From a resolution of 3 megapixel or less. During the DMC FH1, image resolution is kept at its maximum size to 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)* inside DMC FH1 compensates with the blurring from hand shake. Even slight hand shake movement is accurately detected using a sampling frequency of four years old,000 times per second, and compensated to provide sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting within the blur stopping lens with even greater precision the strain improve the overall detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. It functions for zoom shots and macro shots, which are especially at risk of hand shake, and enable you to shoot in candlight rooms or evening illumination to preserve the atmosphere. Briefly, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots without trouble.

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

Sonic Speed AF
The Sonic Speed AF system from the DMC FH1 (possesses 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 result is fast and accurate AF performance. You will soon get moving subjects in focus, like if you're shooting sports scenes. Extended Battery Life
The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine as well as the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery that has been slimmed because of wear thinner camera bodies come together to supply the shooting time belonging to the DMC FH1. Allowing users take approx. 310 shots about the same battery charge*.

* In line with the CIPA standard.
