The DMC FH1 contains 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 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) with the DMC FH1 compensates for ones blurring resulting from hand shake. Even slight hand shake movement is accurately detected utilizing a sampling frequency of four,000 times per second, and compensated to build sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting belonging to the blur stopping lens with even greater precision to further improve the detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. The system functions for zoom shots and macro shots, which are especially vulnerable to hand shake, and enable you to shoot in dimly lit rooms or evening illumination to preserve the mood. Briefly, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots in no time.The sonic speed AF system during the DMC FH1 (contains 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. It's easy to get moving subjects in focus, including while you are shooting sports scenes.The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine along with the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery who has been slimmed down to ride in thinner camera bodies interact with each other grant the shooting time belonging to the DMC FH1. Allowing users take approx. 310 shots on one battery charge.

28mm Wide angle 5x Optical Contact lens 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) proper 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.

* Changed into standard 35mm camera equivalent, around 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.

* Transformed into standard 35mm camera equivalent, along 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 the particular Optical Zoom towards 4x digital zoom*2 extends the sum of the zooming chance to no more than 39.2x. *1 During a resolution of 3 megapixel or less. On the DMC FH1, image resolution is kept at its maximum size on 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)* within the DMC FH1 compensates in the blurring the result of hand shake. Even slight hand shake movement is accurately detected by using a sampling frequency of four,000 times per second, and compensated to make sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting from the blur stopping lens with even greater precision to help promote get considerably more detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. It truely does work for zoom shots and macro shots, which might be especially prone to hand shake, and allow you to shoot in mysterious rooms or evening illumination to preserve the mood. In other words, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots without trouble.

* MEGA O.I.S. is automatically started up in iA Mode which enable it to be turned on or off in Normal Picture Mode or some Scene Modes.

Sonic Speed AF
The Sonic Speed AF system around 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 effect is fast and accurate AF performance. You will soon get moving subjects in focus, for instance when you are shooting sports scenes. Extended Battery Life
The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine as well as efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery with which has been slimmed as small as fit thinner camera bodies communicate to increase the shooting time for the DMC FH1. This lets users take approx. 310 shots for a passing fancy battery charge*.

* Using the CIPA standard.
