Panasonic has introduced the Lumix DMC-FZ28 digital still camera, featuring a 27mm wide-angle Leica DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens with an 18x optical zoom. The FZ28 also boasts 10.1 megapixel resolution. For image processing, the FZ28 features the Venus Engine IV that can snap off consecutive shots at 13 frames per second in High Speed Burst Shooting mode. In High Sensitivity mode, the FZ28 can capture photos with sensitivity up to ISO 6400 in extremely low light situations. The engine allows the FZ28 to shoot up to 460 photos (CIPA) on a single battery charge thanks to improvements in power efficiency. Panasonic’s iA (intelligent auto) mode, which makes it easy for anyone to take photos, has been further enhanced. The newly added AF Tracking function automatically tracks the subject once the AF has been set even if the subject moves around, making it easier to capture sharp, well-focused photos of decisive moments. The FZ28 continually monitors the light source and automatically activates the backlight compensation function if it detects that the light source is behind the subject. Face detection accuracy has also been increased, allowing continuous AF/AE adjustment even if a face moves or turns sideways to the camera. The Intelligent Exposure function helps capture natural-looking, true-to-life images by suppressing blocked shadows and blown highlights. The FZ28 allows users to shoot high-definition 1280 x 720p motion images at 30 fps. Using the DMW-HDC2 HD Component Cable (available separately), these motion images can be output from the FZ28 directly to a HD ready TV for large-screen viewing. The FZ28 features a 2.7-inch Intelligent LCD with 230,000-dot resolution. The viewfinder resolution has also been increased to 201,600 dots for easier viewing. The camera offers a number of other functions that expand photographic possibilities, including a stronger flash for long-distance lighting and extended use, a color temperature display that makes it easier to set the white balance more accurately, a color bracket function, and new scene modes – Pin Hole and Film Grain - that create film-camera-like effects. Image leveling and other new functions add convenience after shooting as well. Available in black or silver, the DMC-FZ28 will be available soon. The price is yet to be announced. |
