Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ300
DMC-FZ300GA
25-600mm Zoom with Full-Range F2.8
The 25-600mm LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens boasts full-range F2.8. Regardless of how distant your subject is, or how fast it is moving, this lens won't let it get away. And the constant F2.8 capability enhances low light shooting throughout the entire zoom range.
Also, Panasonic's black box technology Nano Surface Coating boasts extremely low reflectance ratio and it is applied to the LUMIX FZ300 for exceptional optical performance with stunning clarity by minimising flaring and ghosting.
* 35mm camera equivalent: 25-600mm
High Image Quality Even in Low Light Conditions
The 12.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS Sensor in combination with the Venus Engine provides both: high quality image capture and high speed signal processing. The superior noise reduction system enables crisp images even in low light conditions up to ISO 6400. The Venus Engine also excels in diffraction compensation to make images crisp and clear even when shooting with a small aperture.
5-axis Correction / Tilt Correction
5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer Plus)* gives you blur-less one-handed video shooting. It detects and compensates for the camera's 5 types of movement - horizontal, vertical, axis of rotation, vertical rotation and horizontal rotation. The Level Shot Function detects the image's horizontal line and maintains it even if the camera is tilted. It takes stable video even in high-angle, blind recording.
* 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S. works in video recording except for 4K video recording.
4K Video and 4K Photo - Capture the Perfect Moment
Special moments you want to remember can occur at any time and should be captured in the best resolution possible. Now Panasonic's 4K technology is available for everyone. With the introduction of the new LUMIX FZ300, you will be able to record video in 4K (up to QFHD: 3840 x 2160 pixels, 25 fps, 100Mbit/s).
Furthermore, with the 4K Photo feature, you can extract the perfect photo out of a 4K video (30 frames / photos per second) sequence easily on the camera and save it as an 8-megapixel equivalent still image.
The LUMIX FZ300 is especially useful for both video and photo shooting.
Splash/Dustproof Rugged Design
To be tough enough to withstand even heavy field use, the LUMIX FZ300 adopts splash / dustproof rugged design. It comes with sealings onto every joint, dial, and button to pass the stringent test quality standard of flagship DSLM (Digital Single Lens Mirrorless) cameras. You can take the LUMIX FZ300 for outdoor photography under harsh weather conditions from marshy jungle to windy desert.
1,440k-dot, 0.7x Large OLED LVF
The LUMIX FZ300 comes with a high-resolution (1,440k-dot) OLED Live View Finder which allows high visibility thanks to a 10,000:1 contrast and perfect framing even under direct sunlight conditions. High 0.7x magnification (35mm camera equivalent) makes it easy to see image details. Also with all your settings displayed right in front of your eye, your pictures will always come out exactly how you want them to.
Capture even the fastest moving action thanks to Panasonic's Depth From Defocus (DFD) Auto Focus (AF) technology. The LUMIX FZ300 features this brand new technology instantly calculating the distance between the items inside the frame and drives the focus of the lens in one fast, continuous movement. This new system results in AF speeds up to 0.09 seconds* and a burst shooting speed with AFC of 6 frames per second. It also increases the stability of continuous focusing when shooting video.
* CIPA standard. When using Live View Finder.
