1. 20mm Ultra Wide-Angle, Powerful 60x Optical Zoom Lens
with POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer)
The DMC-FZ70(FZ72) features stunningly versatile LUMIX DC VARIO 20mm ultra
wide-angle lens with a 60x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 20-1200mm)
making it possible to capture dynamic landscape and wild animals or birds
distant away. Comprising 14 elements in 12 groups, including 6 aspherical lenses
with 9 aspherical surfaces and 3 ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses, this advanced
lens unit realizes the outstandingly compact body while delivering exceptional
optical performance suppressing distortion at wide end and color bleeding at
tele end. The 20mm ultra wide angle lens captures approx. 140% wider angle of
view compared with a 24mm angle of view. The POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image
Stabilizer) effectively suppresses hand-shake vibration. The angular width that
the DMC-FZ70(FZ72) can compensate is more than 200% wider than the predecessor
DMC-FZ60(FZ62) at the tele-end, which realizes handheld 1200mm super telephoto
shooting.
Thanks to the Intelligent Resolution technology, the Intelligent Zoom is
available with the DMC- FZ70(FZ72) which extends the zoom ratio up to 120x
equivalent maintaining the picture quality even combining a digital zoom. In
addition, the zoom ratio can further be extended when combined this Intelligent
Zoom with a Tele Conversion Lens DMW-LT55 (sold separately) which captures the
cratered surface of the moon clearly.
2. Recording 1,920 x 1,080 Full-HD Video with Stunningly Clear Sound
The LUMIX DMC-FZ70(FZ72) is versatile not only in its optical performance but also its photo / video hybrid shooting capability.

The AVCHD format excels in the compatibility with AV equipment like HDTVs or Blu-ray Disc players and the video can be played back by just inserting an SDXC/SDHC/SD Memory Card or by connecting with mini HDMI cable. A special, separate button on the top lets the user instantly start recording videos while shooting photos without having to make any extra settings. Alternately, user can choose MP4 at 30p (NTSC) / 25p (PAL) for video recording, which has higher compatibility with PCs.
The recorded videos come with the highly realistic Dolby®
Digital and its sound quality is further improved with DMC-FZ70(FZ72) thanks to
the newly developed Wind Shield Zoom Microphone that minimizes wind noise by
approx. 70% compared with the predecessor DMC-FZ60(FZ62) . 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. With
a substantial increase in volume by approx. 50%, the microphone boasts better
S/N ratio to suppress noise in quiet circumstances to catch the target sound.
In addition, the powerful 60x optical zoom with POWER O.I.S. is available in
video recording, too. The Active Mode is equipped with DMC-FZ70(FZ72) that
encourages active video recording at wide angle such as shooting while walking
