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) perfectly into 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) inside the DMC FH1 compensates for the blurring from hand shake. Even slight hand shake movement is accurately detected by just 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 of this blur stopping lens with even greater precision the strain boost the detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. It works for zoom shots and macro shots, which are usually especially subject to hand shake, and helps you shoot in mysterious rooms or evening illumination to preserve the atmosphere. To be brief, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots in no time.The sonic speed AF system around the DMC FH1 (contains 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 end result is fast and accurate AF performance. You will soon get moving subjects in focus, such as when you go shooting sports scenes.The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine as well as the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery containing been slimmed into accommodate with thinner camera bodies have interaction to extend the shooting time of your DMC FH1. This lets users take approx. 310 shots on a single 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) right 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, in the maximum wide position.

The 28mm wide angle lens* enable 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, for the maximum wide position.

The DMC FH1 includes 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 to your 4x digital zoom*2 extends the total zooming chance to no greater than 39.2x. *1 With only a resolution of 3 megapixel or less. Inside the DMC FH1, image resolution is kept at its maximum size to the optical tele end whether or not the 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)* with the DMC FH1 compensates in 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 provide sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting for the blur stopping lens with sustained precision the strain improve detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. It really works for zoom shots and macro shots, which might be especially prone to hand shake, and helps you shoot in candle lit rooms or evening illumination to preserve the atmosphere. To be brief, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots comfortably.

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

Sonic Speed AF
The Sonic Speed AF system within the DMC FH1 (has 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 leads to is fast and accurate AF performance. You may invariably get up subjects in focus, including when you go shooting sports scenes. Extended Battery Life
The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine and therefore the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery that has been slimmed as a result of ride in thinner camera bodies work together to give the shooting time of your DMC FH1. Allowing users take approx. 310 shots about the same battery charge*.
