Express Yourself - Anywhere You Go

The Flagship Bridge Camera with Ultimate Picture Quality

The superb images of its large 1-inch sensor and new lens express the limitless depth and sunlit warmth of nature. Its 16x optical zoom brings everything up close, from tiny birds on tree branches to animals crossing the distant horizon. Choose photos or videos, in crisp 4K resolution. The DMC-FZ1000 is all you need to capture the world around you, in all its natural beauty.

Capture Subtle Impressions - Smooth, Beautiful Defocus Effect

The beauty of the DMC-FZ1000 lies in its ability to express the bright, beautiful world around us with a naturally gentle touch. The newly developed LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens features 5 aspherical glass lenses, which are made possible by Panasonic's unique aspherical lens mold technology. This combines with the large MOS sensor to give your photos a shallow depth of field with an impressive defocus effect featuring invisible edge lines.

Vibrant, Realistic Motion - High-Quality 4K Video

Experience the world's first 4K video recording*. Enjoy true-to-life, high-resolution images in silky motion. Then add the realistic ambience of audio recording with the Stereo / Shotgun Microphone (DMW-MS2**), with the ability to adjust sound gathering characteristics to match the shooting situation. And for even greater versatility, switch to manual operation in Creative Video mode and dramatic slow motion in full-HD 100 fps video***.

Catch the Moment - Superb Mobility & High-Speed Response

Be ready to grab the next sudden shutter opportunity. Adding a dedicated linear motor in the focus system and new DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology* to the conventional Light Speed AF has achieved both higher precision and greater speed at approx. 0.09 sec**. This combines with a 0.66 sec quick start-up time and 12 fps burst shooting in full resolution to turn those once-in-a-lifetime moments into memories that last forever.

F2.8-4.0 25-400mm - LEICA DC Lens

The new LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens is created especially for the DMC-FZ1000. It has an F2.8-4.0 brightness that resists blurring even for telephoto shots, and an angle of view that extends from 25mm wide-angle to 16x optical zoom*. Comprising 15 elements in 11 groups, including 4 ED lenses and 5 aspherical lenses with 8 aspherical surfaces, this advanced lens unit achieves high MTF value. Adoption of 5 aspherical glass lenses achieves beautiful, evenly smooth defocus with invisible edge line, which is made possible by Panasonic’s unique aspherical lens mold technology.
