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) 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) while in the DMC FH1 compensates with the blurring due to hand shake. Even slight hand shake movement is accurately detected with a sampling frequency of four,000 times per second, and compensated to form sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting belonging to the blur stopping lens with increased precision the strain get considerably more detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. It works for zoom shots and macro shots, which are especially subject to hand shake, and enable you to shoot in candlight rooms or evening illumination to preserve the atmosphere. In other words, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots in no time.The sonic speed AF system on the DMC FH1 (possesses 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. What this leads to is fast and accurate AF performance. It's easy to get up subjects in focus, which include when you go shooting sports scenes.The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine along with efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery which includes been slimmed to accommodate with thinner camera bodies join hands to extend the shooting time belonging to 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 incorporates a newly developed 28mm wide angle* 5x optical zoom f/2.8 6.9 LUMIX DC VARIO lens (35mm camera equivalent: 28 140mm) as 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.

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

The 28mm wide angle lens* means that you can easily capture large categories 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, with the maximum wide position.

The DMC FH1 posesses a 5x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 28 140mm) and 9.8x Extra Optical Zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 274mm)*1. Adding the Extra Optical Zoom with the 4x digital zoom*2 extends the sum of zooming capacity to no greater than 39.2x. *1 In a resolution of 3 megapixel or less. During the 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)* on the DMC FH1 compensates to the blurring the result of hand shake. Even slight hand shake movement is accurately detected by way of sampling frequency of four years old,000 times per second, and compensated to supply sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine IV controls the shifting of the blur stopping lens with sustained precision minimize the stress get considerably more detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. It truly does work for zoom shots and macro shots, that are especially prone to hand shake, and lets you shoot in mysterious rooms or evening illumination to preserve the atmosphere. Briefly, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur free shots quickly and completely.

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

Sonic Speed AF
The Sonic Speed AF system inside DMC FH1 (features 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 result is fast and accurate AF performance. You may invariably get going subjects in focus, that include when you are shooting sports scenes. Extended Battery Life
The energy saving Venus Engine IV image processing engine along with the efficient, rechargeable lithium ion battery which has been slimmed right down to squeeze into thinner camera bodies socialize to give the shooting time of the DMC FH1. This lets users take approx. 310 shots for a passing fancy battery charge*.

* Using the CIPA standard.
