Set the focus selector switch to [AF#].

• In AF Macro Mode, [ ] is displayed.

Note

•We recommend using a tripod and the Self-timer.

•We recommend setting the flash to [Œ] (close the flash) when you take pictures at close range.

•If the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the focus range of the camera, the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication lights.

•When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the subject, it may become difficult to focus on it again.

•AF Macro Mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is far, it takes longer to focus on it.

•When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.

•If the lens becomes dirty with fingerprints or dust, the lens may not be able to focus on the subject correctly.

•It is not possible to set AF Macro Mode in the following cases.

–In all Scene Modes except [3D PHOTO MODE]

–In [HIGH DYNAMIC], [PIN HOLE] and [FILM GRAIN] in Creative Control Mode

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.
