Newly Developed 14.1-megapixel MOS Sensor

To realize the 1,920 x 1,080 full-HD movie recording with high image quality, the new 14.1-megapixel MOS sensor is developed for the DMC-FZ100. For the effective concentration of light, the newly developed sensor adopts microfabrication technology to achieve even higher sensitivity. With an advanced micro light tube structure, both color mixture and signal loss are prevented. The result is that the photo and movie shot at any sensitivity from low to high have outstanding clearness.
High-speed Consecutive Shooting

The high speed digital signal output technology integrated in the DMC-GH1 is applied to the DMC-FZ100. It realizes the industry’s fastest level of burst shooting in 14.1-megapixel full resolution at 11 frames per second with mechanical shutter and even 60 frames per second in 3.5-megapixel recording mode*. It also enables the camera to record high speed movie at 220 frames per second in QVGA size, to capture the motion of a subject the naked eye cannot see. In addition, the Sonic Speed AF in the DMC-FZ100 features its speed at the industry's fastest level. Combined with a high-speed start-up, this gives the DMC-FZ100 an industry's fastest level of response that helps to catch even the most fleeting photo opportunities.
* In the high speed burst shooting at 60 fps, the picture size is 2.5-megapixel (16:9), 3-megapixel (3:2), 3.5-megapixel (4:3) or 2-megapixel (1:1).
Burst Mode Button



The DMC-FZ100 features the Burst Mode Button on the top of the camera. The frame rate, AF setting and the recording resolution can be easily selected according to the movement of the subject with this dedicated button.

The DMC-FZ100 can fire off up to approx. 11 frames per second in full 14.1-megapixel resolution with its mechanical shutter. Great for capturing fast subject motion, such as sports scenes or birds in flight.

The DMC-FZ100 lets you snap off consecutive shots at approx. 5 frames per second or 2 frames per second with continuous AF. That keeps the focus on quickly moving children for capturing decisive moments with crisp clarity.

Even higher-speed burst shooting is possible with the DMC-FZ100 when the electronic shutter is used – 60 fps at 3.5-megapixel* resolution. Great for capturing race cars and other subjects that are difficult to catch with the naked eye.
* In the high speed burst shooting at 60 fps, the picture size is 2.5-megapixel (16:9), 3-megapixel (3:2), 3.5-megapixel (4:3) or 2-megapixel (1:1).

・Quick Time is requires to watch this file.
This function lets you record high-speed movies at 220 frames per second in QVGA size (320 x 240 pixels). That means you can capture the moment the soccer ball finds the net. Or the moment that a tennis racket strikes the ball. You can even capture scenes that can't be seen with the naked eye, and play them back in dramatic slow motion.

*1 For the AF-single, the focus is fixed with the first picture for the burst.
*2 When 40fps mode or 60 fps mode is selected, the picture size setting will become as shown below;
40 fps mode: (4:3) 5M / 3M / 0.3M, (3:2) 4.5M / 2.5M / 0.3M, (16:9) 3.5M / 2M / 0.2M, (1:1) 3.5M / 2.5M / 0.2M.
60 fps mode: (4:3) 2.5M / 0.3M, (3:2) 3M / 0.3M, (16:9) 3.5M / 0.2M, (1:1) 2M / 0.2M.
*3 The number of recordable images depends on the memory card size and battery life.
*4 The range that can be recorded will become smaller when it is set to 60fps mode.
Burst Shooting Mode in Category Playback
While conventional models play consecutively shot images one by one, the DMC-FZ100 lets you retrieve a full consecutive shooting block for more compact playback. In addition, the Category Playback will gather only images that were shot with the Burst Shooting mode. Burst Shooting block images can be played together in a slideshow, or individually. And you can set your best photos as "favorite" or "protect" them from deletion.

The Category Playback will gather only images that were shot with the Burst Shooting mode.

Each Burst Shooting block has a thumbnail display.
Sonic Speed AF

The Sonic Speed AF system in the DMC-FZ100 includes numerous re-engineering enhancements, including a higher-speed actuator, optimized algorithms and parallel software processing. The result is fast and accurate AF performance. You can quickly get moving subjects in focus, such as when you're shooting sports scenes.
Short Release Time Lag
The shutter release time lag is as short as approx. 0.008 second, making it easy to capture sudden, spur-of-the-moment photo opportunities.
