The 16x optical zoom is available in video recording, too. You can also control the zoom operation to match the shooting situation in 5 speeds from low to fast, for smoother zooming. The advanced image stabilizer HYBRID O.I.S.+ is integrated to effectively suppress hand-shake vibration even in shooting with the high-powered zoom.

5-axis Correction / Tilt Correction

The HYBRID O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) + with 5-axis correction* 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.

* HYBRID O.I.S.+ and Level Shot Function do not work in 4K video recording.

High Speed Video in Full-HD

You can record high-speed videos at 100 fps* in full-HD quality. You can capture scenes that can't be seen with the naked eye, and play them back in dramatic slow motion.

Time Lapse Shot

Leave the camera for stationary recording of subjects such as astronomical observation, flowers coming into bloom or scudding clouds. The series of consequent images can be combined in the camera to produce a time lapse video.

Linear Motor Focus System and
Light Speed AF with DFD Technology

Newly integrated linear motor into the focus system achieves approx. 275% faster* focusing compared with conventional DMC-FZ200. In addition, new DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology** also shortens the time to set focus. It instantaneously calculates the distance to the subject by evaluating 2 images with different sharpness levels. As a result, ultra high speed AF of approx. 0.09 sec*** (wide-end) / approx. 0.17*/**** sec (tele-end) is achieved.

* Panasonic in-house examination. ** Works for photo shooting only.
*** CIPA standard. When using Live View Finder. **** Infinity to 2m shooting time lag.

Max. 1/4000 sec Fast Shutter Speed

High shutter speed at max. 1/4000 sec (at wide-end) / 1/3200 sec (at tele-end) enables you to capture spur-of-the-moment of fast moving subject. It also allows you to open the aperture even outdoors. Max. 1/16000 sec with an electronic shutter reduces washouts even under strong sunlight.

12 fps Burst Shooting

High speed burst shooting can be shot at 12 fps in 20.1-megapixel full resolution. Together with the quick start-up of approx. 0.66 sec and short release time lag, the DMC-FZ1000 never lets you miss fleeting shooting opportunities.
