Note

•What is bit rate

This is the volume of data for a definite period of time, and the quality becomes higher when the number gets bigger. This unit is using the “VBR” recording method. “VBR” is an abbreviation of “Variable Bit Rate”, and the bit rate (volume of data for definite period of time) is changed automatically depending on the subject to record. Therefore, the recording time is shortened when a subject with fast movement is recorded.

•In [HIGH SPEED VIDEO] in Scene Mode, it is fixed to [QVGA] in the Motion JPEG format.

•To play back AVCHD motion pictures recorded with this unit on Panasonic Blu-ray Disc Players (DMP-BD30/DMP-BD31/DMP-BD50) it is necessary to update the firmware of the Blu-ray Disc Player.

FZ150, DMCFZ150K specifications

Panasonic's DMC-FZ150K is a notable entry in the realm of advanced digital cameras, merging versatility and high performance in a compact design. Launched as part of Panasonic's Lumix line, the FZ150 is particularly appealing to photography enthusiasts who seek advanced features without the bulk of a DSLR.

At the heart of the DMC-FZ150K is a 12.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor, which excels in producing high-quality images, even in low-light conditions. This sensor is paired with the advanced Venus Engine, which enhances image processing speed and overall clarity, ensuring that colors are vibrant and details remain sharp.

One of the standout features of the FZ150 is its 24x optical zoom lens, offering a focal length equivalent to 25-600mm in 35mm terms. This extensive zoom range allows photographers to capture everything from sweeping landscapes to distant wildlife without needing to change lenses. Additionally, the lens features a fast f/2.8 aperture at the wide end, facilitating excellent performance in dim lighting and providing beautiful background blur.

The lens is complemented by a powerful image stabilization system known as Power O.I.S., which significantly reduces the chances of blur even at longer focal lengths or slower shutter speeds. This is particularly beneficial for handheld shooting and action photography.

The DMC-FZ150K also includes a High Definition video recording capability, supporting 1080p video at 60 frames per second in AVCHD format. This functionality makes it not just a still camera but a versatile tool for video creators, offering manual control over exposure settings during video capture.

Another commendable aspect of the FZ150 is its bright 3-inch vari-angle LCD screen, which allows for flexible shooting angles, making it easier to compose shots from high or low perspectives. Additionally, it boasts a high-resolution electronic viewfinder, ensuring that photographers can easily frame their shots even in bright conditions.

For connectivity, the camera comes with an HDMI output, enabling users to connect directly to HDTVs for immediate playback of images and videos. It also features a host of creative shooting modes and filters, allowing users to unleash their artistic potential.

Overall, the Panasonic DMC-FZ150K is a well-rounded camera that blends advanced technology with user-friendly features, making it an appealing choice for amateur and seasoned photographers alike. Its combination of impressive zoom, superb image quality, and versatile shooting options set it apart in the competitive landscape of digital cameras.
