Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 Digital Camera
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 is a premium bridge camera that redefines the “point-and-shoot” category by blending professional-grade 4K video capabilities with a massive 1-inch High Sensitivity MOS sensor. Designed for hybrid creators who need the reach of a telephoto lens without the weight of a DSLR kit, the FZ1000 delivers stunning 20.1MP stills and ultra-high-definition video. With its iconic Leica optics and lightning-fast autofocus, it is a versatile powerhouse for travel, wildlife, and high-end multimedia production.

Large 1″ Sensor & Professional Leica Optics
20.1MP 1-Inch MOS Sensor: Significantly larger than standard point-and-shoot sensors, this 1-inch chip provides superior low-light performance, increased dynamic range, and a native ISO of 12,800 (expandable to 25,600).

Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 16x Zoom: This high-performance lens offers a 25-400mm equivalent focal range. With an aperture of f/2.8-4, it maintains impressive brightness even at the telephoto end, perfect for isolating subjects with natural background blur.

Advanced Optical Construction: Incorporating five aspherical and four extra-low dispersion (ED) elements, the lens minimizes chromatic aberrations and distortion to ensure edge-to-edge sharpness throughout the zoom range.

HYBRID O.I.S. (5-Axis): Panasonic’s sophisticated stabilization system compensates for five types of camera movement, ensuring steady handheld video and sharp stills even at the full 400mm extension.

4K Video & High-Speed Performance
4K QFHD Video Recording: Capture life in incredible detail with 4K (3840 x 2160) at 30p. The high 100Mbps bit rate ensures professional-grade footage, while the 4K Photo mode allows you to pull 8MP still frames directly from your video files.

High-Speed Motion: For action enthusiasts, the FZ1000 supports Full HD 1080p recording at 120 fps for smooth slow-motion playback.

Light Speed AF with DFD Technology: Utilizing “Depth From Defocus” technology, the camera achieves near-instant focus in as little as 0.09 seconds. It intelligently tracks subjects and includes Face/Eye detection for perfect portraits.

Rapid Fire Burst: Freeze the action with burst speeds up to 12 fps using the mechanical shutter, or an incredible 50 fps with the electronic shutter.

Ergonomic Build & Modern Connectivity
OLED Live View Finder & Articulating LCD: Frame your shots through the high-resolution 2,359k-dot OLED EVF for 100% accuracy, or use the 3.0″ free-angle LCD to capture creative perspectives from high or low angles.

Integrated Wi-Fi & NFC: Instantly transfer images to your smartphone or tablet using the Panasonic Image App. NFC support allows for “tap-to-connect” pairing, and you can even use your mobile device as a remote shutter and monitor.

Pro Audio Inputs: While the built-in stereo zoom mic features wind-cut technology, the 3.5mm microphone input allows you to attach professional external mics for superior audio quality.

Macro Excellence: Capture stunning close-ups with a minimum focusing distance of just 1.2 inches, allowing for incredible detail in nature and product photography.
