Key Feature
-----------
At its time of launch the FZ72 offered the longest zoom range of
all digital compact cameras. A massive 60x zoom lens covers all
focal lengths from 20mm to 1200mm, in 35mm equivalent terms. This
means you get three times more shooting area when shooting wide
angle than a 35mm camera and it brings objects twice as close as
our previous best bridge camera (600mm, FZ62).
Photo Quality
-------------
New 16.1 Megapixel High Sensitivity/Low Noise MOS Sensor
--------------------------------------------------------
Panasonic's 16 megapixel MOS sensor offers a 10-15% reduction in
the block noise that becomes evident when shooting at high ISO
settings (compared with previous model FZ62). In combination with
a Venus Engine noise reduction system, it delivers more pleasing
low-light s whilst still supporting Full HD video ,
high-speed burst shooting and a 3D mode.

Improved Power O.I.S. with Active Mode for Video
------------------------------------------------
Power O.I.S. is about twice as effective as our conventional
Image Stabilisation system at reducing low-frequency
vibration-caused blur. It is especially useful when using slow
shutter effects or shooting night scenes and is now optimised for
the high zoom of the FZ72. With the option of Active mode
available during movie , videoing from a moving vehicle
or while walking is also more precise.
Fastest Auto Focus - "Light-speed" AF
-------------------------------------
Fast focus is a must when you don't want to miss the moment of a
lifetime. None come faster in a compact camera than the lightning
fast 0.1 seconds of Lumix. Borrowed from the technology used in
our Lumix G system camera, the incredibly fast focus speed is due
to the double speed readout from the sensor when the shutter
button is half pressed.
Professional Quality RAW Mode Shooting
--------------------------------------
For the ultimate control over picture quality RAW shooting mode
is provided just like a professional camera. Shooting in Raw
requires large capacity memory cards as each photo image can be
up to 8x larger in file size than when shooting in JPEG. A Raw
file contains the full uncompressed data that is captured by the
image sensor.

Amazing 120x Intelligent Zoom
-----------------------------
Not only does the FZ72 offer a huge 60x zoom lens but also
includes a clever combination of optical and digital technology
to get you even closer to your subject. The powerful image
processing of the Venus engine means that a high quality image
can be created from the telephoto lens that is equivalent to an
incredible 120x zoom image (twice the optical zoom limit).
9 Frames per Second High Speed Burst Shooting
---------------------------------------------
High-speed burst shooting, up to 9 frames per second at full
resolution (max 3 images), is possible. Even 5 frames per second
with AF Tracking is available enabling you to capture high speed
action with a sequence of still pictures that are sharp and
defined.

A full colour, electronic viewfinder is built-in for monitoring
the image from the sensor. Offering 100% field-of-view, it
enables accurate composition of your photos with the camera held

iA (Intelligent Auto) Shooting Mode with iA Plus
------------------------------------------------
iA mode helps you take the picture without you having to worry
about what settings to use. The camera intelligently works out

pre-set programmes. iA+ allows you to add an element of your own
creative control where you can experiment with the overall look
