The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 is a Large Digital Camera with a 1" sensor. Its 20 Megapixels CMOS sensor offers an ISO 125-12800 sensitivity range which is expandable to ISO 80-25600. This makes it possible to shoot hand-held in very low-light. With 20 MP of resolution, sharp prints are possible up to 23" x 15" at 240 DPI.
A builtin Image Stabilization mechanism allows the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 to compensate for camera shake.
This camera features a mechanic shutter that can expose for 1/16000 to 1m. This camera can make Bulb exposures up to 2m. With a fastest shutter-speed of 1/16000, fast action can easily be frozen. Night photography is possible using this digital camera due to its long exposure capability. This camera model offers Full Manual Controls.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 features a 49-point Contrast-Detect AF system. Autofocus can continuously adjust according to subject distance. A Real-Time Autofocus Tracking System allows focus to follow a moving subject within the frame. Manual Focus is also available.
A single control-dial on this camera makes it easy to use semi-automatic modes by adjusting the current exposure parameter directly This camera does not feature any seals to protect it against adverse weather, dust and moisture. Care must be taken, just like with most electronics. Framing on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 is performed via a 0.39" Built-in EVF with 2.4 Megapixels. This extra large EVF has 0.70X magnification and shows 100% coverage.
