DMC-FZ50 | PRODUCTS | LUMIX | Digital Camera

To fight against the major cause of blurred images, Panasonic invented the MEGA O.I.S. system taking advantage of its outstanding lens technology to compensate for handshake – a feature which has long been incorporated into the LUMIX range of cameras. In addition, the DMC-FZ50 also compensates for the other major cause of blurred images – movement of the subject. The world's first* Intelligent ISO Control (I.I.C.) function, made possible by the Venus Engine III, detects the subject's movement and adjusts the ISO setting and shutter speed to best suit the subject movement and the light condition automatically. The Venus Engine III also enables high-sensitivity recording up to ISO 1600 in full resolution manually. Panasonic's excellent image stabilizing system allows users to take clear, crisp images in any situation automatically, leaving everything to the camera.

MEGA O.I.S. - The New Standard in Digital Camera Performance

Taking advantage of its outstanding lens technology, Panasonic invented the MEGA O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabilizer) system to fight against the major cause of blurred images. It compensates for the blurring caused by hand-shake. It is now featured on the entire LUMIX range, and is highly popular with users around the world. Even slight hand-shake movement is accurately detected by a sampling frequency of 4,000 times per second, and compensated to produce sharp, clear images.

Intelligent ISO Control for Preventing Blurry Shots Caused by
Subject Movements

The movement of the subject, the other major cause of blurred images, is suppressed by the advanced image processing LSI Venus Engine III with the Intelligent ISO Control (I.I.C.). The world’s first incorporation* of this I.I.C. allows the automatic adjustment of the suitable ISO setting and shutter speed that best suits the situation by analyzing the speed of subject movement. If the subject is moving, the ISO setting would automatically rise to allow high shutter speed. On the other hand, if the subject is still and no movement is detected, you can take beautiful natural images with a low ISO setting.

I.I.C. increases sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800 (ISO 400 when using a flash). When photographing an especially fast-moving subject, the ISO setting can be adjusted manually. (Max. ISO 1600)
