Advanced O.I.S. and 50x Optical Zoom

This 50x zoom lens has the power you need to take dramatic closeups or get remarkable shots of
even distant subjects. But with long-distance zoom shots, even a tiny bit of hand shake has a huge
effect on picture quality. That's where image stabilization comes in. Panasonic's Advanced O.I.S.
(Optical Image Stabilization) shifts a corrective lens as you shoot to eliminate the effects of hand
shake, so you get clear, sharp, blur-free shots even at high zoom levels. It's an essential feature for
getting the most out of this incredible zoom lens. *H40: 42x optical zoom	50x	20x	10x	2x

Advanced O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization)

Panasonic's Advanced O.I.S. is a new image stabilizing
function that achieves around eight times higher precision
than our previous system. The system uses gyro-sensors to detect hand-
shake, then shifts a lens and adjusts its optical axis to compensate.	Advanced	Advanced
