25-600mm Lens with Full-Range F2.8

The DMC-FZ200 features a high-quality LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT 25mm ultra wide-angle lens with a 24x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 25-600mm) that achieves full range F2.8. It enables capturing a moving subject which is even in distant away clearly with fast shutter speed.

Also, the Panasonic’s black box technology Nano Surface Coating boasts extremely low reflectance ratio and it is applied to the DMC-FZ200 for exceptional optical performance with stunning clarity by minimizing flaring and ghosts.

High Sensitivity MOS Sensor for Noise-Free Shooting

The new 12.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor boasts excellent S/N ratio resulting in super clear image with less noise even in high sensitivity recording. Together with the high performance image processing LSI Venus Engine, it elevates the response, sensitivity and image quality even to the higher level.

Light Speed AF and Burst Shooting

The Light Speed AF helps to catch even the most fleeting photo opportunities. You can quickly focus on moving subjects, such as when you’re shooting sports scenes or animals. The DMC-FZ200 boasts the quick start-up time of approx. 0.95 sec. Together with the Light Speed AF, the DMC-FZ200 never misses the most fleeting shooting opportunities.
The 12.1-megapixel MOS sensor lets the DMC-FZ200 shoot 12fps in full resolution with mechanical shutter. You can take a series of shots, then choose the ones you like the best and delete the rest.

1920 x 1080p Full-‐HD Video Recording

The DMC-‐FZ200 can record full-‐HD 1,920 x 1,080 videos in AVCHD Progressive (MPEG-‐4 / H.264) format. Featuring 60p (NTSC) / 50p (PAL) full-‐HD recording capability, subjects with fast moVon or fine details are reproduced clearly.

The DMC-‐FZ200 can also record full-‐HD 1,920 x 1,080 30p (NTSC) / 25p (PAL) videos in MP4 format. This format is suitable for ediVng videos on a computer or uploading those to websites.

1312K-dot Equivalent High-Resolution EVF

The newly developed 0.2-inch EVF (Electronic Viewfinder) features 1,312K-dot equivalent high resolution, 100% field of view. Thanks to the increased frame rate from 30fps to max. 60 fps, screen freeze is also minimized making it suitable for shooting fast-moving subject under strong sunlight.

POWER O.I.S. with Active Mode

The POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabiliser) suppresses the low-frequency vibration hand-shake component, which is physically generated when pressing the shutter button or when shooting at night with a slow shutter speed. The POWER O.I.S. also works for powerful zoom shots, which are especially susceptible to hand-shake. Active mode is effective for video recording.

AFF Mode

The newly added focus mode AFF (AF Flexible) locks on the focus when shutter button is half-pressed, however, if the subject moves, the focusing is reset to get the best results.

Creative Control / Creative Retouch

You can add different effects by applying one of the filters both in the recording mode (Creative Control) and the playback mode (Creative Retouch).

Panorama Shot

The Panorama Shot Mode in the Scene Mode makes it possible to shoot a horizontal / vertical panoramic image with consequent shots taken by overlaying the previous image.

24x Optical Zoom in Video Recording

The 24x optical zoom will capture highly natural expressions from people and animals and dynamic sports scenes. The side lever makes it smoother to zoom. Focus can also be changed with this lever, which is convenient in video recording.

High-speed Videos in HD Quality

The DMC-FZ200 records high-speed videos at 120 fps (NTSC / HD)* / 100 fps (PAL / HD)* or 240 fps (NTSC / VGA)* / 200 fps (PAL / VGA)* in MP4 format. You can capture scenes that can't be seen with the naked eye, and play them back in dramatic slow motion.

* The recording format is 30p (NTSC) / 25p (PAL).

Creative Video Mode

The Creative Video Mode lets you adjust the shutter speed and aperture any way you like when shooting videos.

Stereo Microphone

Incorporating a stereo zoom microphone, the videos also come with the high-quality stereo sound of Dolby® Digital Stereo Creator, to offer highly realistic sound to the video. Mechanical noise caused by a zooming operation is suppressed to improve the clearness.

3.0-inch Free-angle Monitor

A 3.0-inch 3:2 460K-dot free-angle LCD rotates 180° to the side and tilts 270° up and down. This monitor enables dynamic, artistic framing with high-angle shots and low-angle shots. It's convenient when shooting with a tripod too.

iA (Intelligent Auto) / iA Plus Mode

In the iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode, the camera does all the work, leaving you free to compose shots and capture moments in both photo and video recording. In addition, the iA Plus Mode enables you to adjust defocusing area, exposure compensation and white balance by just moving the slider.

Rich Options for Expandability

For more advanced creative freedom, the DMC-FZ200 is equipped with a hot shoe allowing attachment of various accessories including an optional stereo microphone (DMW-MS1) or an optional external flash (DMW-FL220 / FL360 / FL500). The DMC-FZ200 is also compatible with an optional remote shutter (DMW-RSL1) for advanced expression in photography.
