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) towards 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.The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) with the DMC FH1 compensates to the blurring because of hand shake. Even slight hand shake movement is accurately detected by a sampling frequency of four years old,000 times per second, and compensated to form sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting of this blur stopping lens with sustained precision to advance add to 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 allows you to shoot in candle lit rooms or evening illumination to preserve the atmosphere. Simply speaking, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots with ease.The sonic speed AF system while in the DMC FH1 (possesses 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. It's easy to get up subjects in focus, which includes when shooting sports scenes.The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine as well as the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery that has been slimmed as small as go back to wearing thinner camera bodies join hands to extend the shooting time with the DMC FH1. This lets users take approx. 310 shots on one battery charge.

28mm Wide angle 5x Optical Contact lens with f/2.8 Brightness
The DMC FH1 comprises of a newly developed 28mm wide angle* 5x optical zoom f/2.8 6.9 LUMIX DC VARIO lens (35mm camera equivalent: 28 140mm) proper 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, at the maximum wide position.

The 28mm wide angle lens* means that you can easily capture large multiple people indoors or expansive architectural structures and scenes with dynamic width and rich perspective, even from short distances.

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

The DMC FH1 carries 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 in to the 4x digital zoom*2 extends full zooming capacity to at most 39.2x. *1 At the resolution of 3 megapixel or less. On the DMC FH1, image resolution is kept at its maximum size in to the optical tele end set up 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)* in your DMC FH1 compensates for those blurring a 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 deliver sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting of one's blur stopping lens with even greater precision to help promote boost detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. It truely does work for zoom shots and macro shots, that happens to be especially can also be hand shake, and enable you to shoot in candle lit rooms or evening illumination to preserve the atmosphere. In a nutshell, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots with no trouble.

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

Sonic Speed AF
The Sonic Speed AF system during the DMC FH1 (provides 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 effect is fast and accurate AF performance. You may invariably get moving subjects in focus, that include when you are shooting sports scenes. Extended Battery Life
The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine plus the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery that steadily been slimmed to squeeze into thinner camera bodies interact grant the shooting time of the DMC FH1. This lets users take approx. 310 shots on one battery charge*.

* Depending on the CIPA standard.
