The POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) effectively suppresses hand-shake vibration. The angular width that the DMC-FZ70 can compensate is more than 200% wider than the predecessor DMC-FZ60 at the tele-end, which realizes handheld 1200mm super telephoto shooting. The Active Mode is equipped with DMC-FZ70 that encourages active video recording at wide angle such as shooting while walking without causing deterioration of image quality.

Clear Sound Recording
with Wind Shield
Zoom Microphone

The recorded videos come with the highly realistic Dolby® Digital Stereo Creator and its sound quality is further improved with the DMC-FZ70 thanks to the newly developed Wind Shield Zoom Microphone that minimizes wind noise by approx. 70% compared with the predecessor DMC-FZ60. Externally, the special sealed structure prevents wind from hitting the microphone directly and the draft structure suppresses retention of air internally. As a result, the sound is clear, comfortable to listen even it was recorded on a windy day.
