The viewfinder uses the same 2360k dot / OLED panel as the FZ1000 but boosts the magnification from 0.7x to 0.74x for a satisfyingly large and detailed These modes are all defined and adjusted using the 3in fully-articulated touchscreen. Much easier now to set your own focus position and use the full JPEG resolution of the camera and make the final stacked image in an external image editing program like Heliconsoft. I did find the in-camera focus stacking did not do a particularly good job and it uses the small JPEG resolution 8M images to make the final stacked image. Racks the focus during capture to let you later extract the one at the desired point of focus), and the latest Focus Stacking (which again racks the focus during capture but then lets you createĪ stacked image in-camera between a defined range of distances). The FZ2000 / FZ2500 supports 4k in a variety of photo modes, including 4k Photo (effectively capturing 8 Megapixel stills at 30fps), Post Focus (which The Cinelike D and Cinelike V profiles are included as standard.

Panasonic has also fitted what they term "a coreless DC motor for smooth zooming at a choice of speeds". Zooming now takes place internally so once the camera’s powered-up the barrel doesn’t extend any further. The lens is the major upgrade over the earlier FZ1000, providing a 20x range / 24-480mm f2.8-4.5 and, importantly for balance and minimising image shift, the The FZ2000 / FZ2500 shares the same type 1inch 20 Megapixel sensor as the FZ1000, giving it a step-up in quality over cameras with 1/2.3 inch sensors, whileĪlso allowing a large zoom to be accommodated. The zoom operation can be operated via the usual zoom lever (2 - step) or the two new function buttons (Fn1 & Fn2) on the lens side. The camera has a 3.5mm port for audio monitoring so that audio can be checked during recording or during playback preview. The memory card slot has also been relocated to the side of the camera making access much easier and quicker.Ī touch sensitive LCD screen brings with it the possibility of touch to focus/shoot and focus pulls in video operation.īuilt in ND filter 1/4 to 1/64 allows the camera to shoot at the widest aperture and lowest ISO whilst keeping the correct shutter angle for cinematic The usual 29min 59 sec recording limit has been removed this enabling longer recording sessions - limited only by the memory card capacity. The camera supports 4K (UHD) video at 24 or 25(30) fps depending upon how you set the camera system frequency. It is the later users who get the biggest boost in user features with this camera. This new camera adds a host of new features missing on the original FZ1000 and now brings this camera into a new league for both stills photographers and The much anticipated upgrade to Panasonic's FZ1000 type 1 inch sensor bridge camera.
