Features
LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lensThe newly developed LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens in the DMC-FZ100 extends its optical zoom range from 25mm at wide end and 24x to 600mm.

14.1-megapixel MOS sensorThe newly developed 14.1-megapixel MOS sensor lets the FZ100 record high quality 1920x1080 full HD movie smooth at 60i. Together with a host of options, unlimited expression is now easily available with FZ100.

Venus Engine FHDFor the image processor, the new Venus Engine FHD is incorporated that features exceptionally advanced signal processing capabilities. By separating chromatic noise from luminance noise and applying the optimal noise reduction to each, you can capture clear and beautiful images even when shooting at high ISO sensitivity levels.

24x optical zoomThe powerful 24x optical zoom is available in movie recording with the mechanism designed to minimize the noise of auto focusing or zooming.

PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.2 HD EditionPhotos shot with the burst shooting are automatically organized and it is easy to play them back later either in the camera or on PC using the bundled software PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.2 HD Edition.
