Thanks to the Intelligent Resolution technology, the Intelligent Zoom is available with the DMC- FZ150 which extends the zoom ratio by approx. 1.3x maintaining the picture quality even combining a digital zoom. This means the 24x optical can virtually extend to 32x equivalent. Not only drawing near the subject distant away with its powerful optical zoom, the 25mm ultra wide angle lens captures approx.196% wider angle of view compared with a standard 35mm camera. It is helpful for shooting dynamic landscape or indoor group portrait.
1,920 x 1,080 60p (NTSC) Full-HD Video Recording in the AVCHD Progressive Format
The LUMIX DMC-FZ150 is an advanced photographic tool for recording not only great photos but also beautiful full-HD videos. Now the DMC-FZ150 can record high-resolution full-HD 1,920 x 1,080 60p (NTSC) / 50p (PAL) videos in AVCHD Progressive (MPEG-4 / H.264)* format. Upgrading the full HD recording capability from interlaced to progressive, subjects with fast motion or fine details are reproduced even more clearly.
The powerful 24x optical zoom is available in video recording. With DMC-FZ150, there are always two options to record spur-of-the-moment scenes - high-quality photos or videos. The user can simply choose the one that saves precious memories most beautifully.
The popular iA (Intelligent Auto) is also available in video recording. The POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), Face Detection, Intelligent Scene Selector and Intelligent D-range Control also support shooting beautiful video with ease. For more effective countermeasure against blur, the Active Mode is newly equipped with DMC-FZ150 for an option of image stabilization in video recording. In addition to the conventional POWER O.I.S., the Active Mode effectively suppresses blur in video recording especially at wide angle while walking. The Intelligent Scene Selector automatically switches between Normal, Portrait, Macro, Scenery, and Low Light modes according to the situation to optimize visual quality. The Intelligent D-range Control makes images look more natural by preventing blocked shadows and blown highlights to optimize the exposure for each part of an image. It also ensures a beautiful reproduction of gradation and details.
Incorporating a stereo zoom microphone, the videos also come with the high-quality stereo sound of Dolby® Digital Stereo Creator, to offer highly realistic sound to the video. Mechanical noise caused by a zooming operation is suppressed to improve the clearness. Also, the Auto Wind Cut function is also available to block out most of the noise from background wind automatically making the human voice to stand out.
It is also possible to take still image while recording video simultaneously (3.5-megapixel). You can also cut out the favorite scene as a still image from the video in the camera. The image is clear thanks to the rich Progressive recording format and the Intelligent Resolution technology. A host of options enhance the usability and fun of recording high quality full-HD video.
Photos or videos recorded in AVCHD on SD Memory Cards are easy to view on a Panasonic VIERA TV. Simply insert the card into the VIERA Image Viewer (SD Memory Card slot) on VIERA TV or Blu-ray Disc Player/Recorder to playback your contents. Alternatively, you can use an optional mini HDMI cable to output the AVCHD Progressive video from the DMC-FZ150 directly to the TV for VIERA Link.
12-Megapixel High Sensibility MOS Sensor Pursuing Even Higher Level in Resolution, Sensitivity and Speed
The 12-megapixel MOS sensor and the Venus Engine excel in image processing in both sensitivity and speed. The combination of these powerful components results in the S/N ratio improvement by 3.9dB (ISO 100) to 4.7dB (ISO1600) compared with the predecessor DMC-FZ100. Newly developed Multi-process Noise Reduction applies optimum noise reduction according to the brightness of the part of the picture. Both high frequency noise that occurs in the dark part and low frequency noise in the light part are suppressed even they happen in a picture. As a result, Images recorded in low-lit situations are now dramatically clear.
The Venus Engine has quad-circuit system to for processing large amount of progressive full HD data at high speed. Not only 1,920 x 1,080 60p(NTSC) smooth full-HD video recording, but also super fast consecutive shots at 12 fps (without auto focusing) and 5.5 fps(with auto focusing) in full resolution. It is also compatible with recording high speed video at 220 fps in QVGA. At the same time, the multi-task image-processing engine, the Venus Engine realizes a super-fast response time. The auto focus gains approx. 50% faster speed compared with the DMC-FZ100 achieving Light Speed AF of approx. 0.1 second. The speed in AF Tracking also becomes faster thanks to the improved tracking performance which doubles its sampling frequency.
Intuitive Manual Control and Creative Options including 3D Photo Shooting
The full manual control available with the DMC-FZ150 elevates the operability even higher. The side lever is newly added on the left side of lens barrel, which makes it smoother to zoom when concentrating on the shutter operation with the right hand.

You can enjoy creative shooting expressing their intention not only in photo but also in video, utilizing a host of options including the Creative Control and the Photo Style.
The conventional My Color mode is renewed for Creative Control with a selection of artistic effect modes; Expressive, Retro, High Key, Sepia, High Dynamic, Miniature Effect, Film Grain and Pin Hole. Now it is possible to adjust exposure compensation in the Creative Control mode. In addition, Photo Style is newly added to the DMC-FZ150 for the expression of finer nuance. It has Standard, Vivid, Natural, Monochrome, Scenery, Portrait presets while enabling finer adjustment of contrast, sharpness, saturation and noise reduction by each. It is possible to fully customize those settings to make user's own color effect manually in Custom mode. These two modes Creative Control and Photo Style let users at any level of skill enjoy giving photographers' intention to make photos or videos even more impressive.
In video recording, the DMC-FZ150 goes further than simply recording HD videos. Apart from the video recording capability of conventional digital compact cameras, the DMC-FZ150 also features a Creative Video mode, which lets the user set the shutter speed and aperture manually to make even more impressive videos. Changing the shutter speed brings special effects to videos, which is especially suitable for shooting fast-moving subject. The ability to control the aperture is convenient when there are several subjects at different distances and it is desired to have each of them stand out.
For more advanced creative freedom, the DMC-FZ150 is equipped with a hot shoe allowing attachment of various accessories including an optional stereo microphone (DMW-MS1) or an optional external flash (DMW-FL220 / FL360 / FL500).

With the DMC-FZ150, the Motion Deblur mode* is incorporated to prevent blur even more powerfully. Plus, the Intelligent Handheld Nightshot mode is newly added. It generates a beautiful night scenery with illumination by multiply layering the images shot consecutively. Bright glamorous night scenery can be recorded without using a tripod.
The Face Recognition function remembers registered faces to give an appropriate AF/AE on the people while removing the unwanted red-eye. The Intelligent Scene Selector automatically selects whichever of 6 Scene modes - Macro, Portrait, Scenery, Night Portrait, Night Scenery and Sunset - that best suit the shooting situation.
Once you enter the iA mode, these functions happen automatically together with other powerful shooting-assist functions - AF Tracking, Intelligent ISO Control and Intelligent D-range Control - so you can shoot without the bother of adjusting settings every time conditions change. You can enjoy easy, trouble-free shooting in any situation and get the satisfaction that comes with capturing clear, beautiful images.

I have been a Panasonic user for several years now, ever since I bought my first DMC F27 in 2005 years ago. I just up grade to FZ150 The image quality am excellent and its high-speed burst rates are as outstanding. The Camera is good for traveling. The camera is it easy to use and the screen is good size and I like how you can turn face you and hold higher in a crown take photos. The camera it good to video you can use the zoom button to bring it closed while video. The previous camera could do zoom button while video. The photo is clearer.

We were initially going to buy a Canon product, however, after seeing the Panasonic and Canon product side by side it was apparent that the Panasonic unit was superior.
Salesperson was able to quickly explain the features and benefits for both cameras leaving the decision on which camera to buy on personal choice.
We are really happy with the camera.

Light, good zoom & good quality pics for this type of camera. Good quality camera for travelling {normally use an SLR} . Used histogram to make sure exposure correct - used mainly on -1/3 or - 2/3 but this was in mostly sunny conditions & snow. Hard to get used to aperture range after using SLR but quick & easy to use even when horse riding & jet boating! Have not used the RAW as knew I would be taking a lot of photos - but now wished I had. Only used video a little - but seems good quality.

I have been a Panasonic "superzoom" user for several years now, ever since I bought my first FZ18 about 4 years ago. Last year I bought the FZ100, mainly because I take loads of images of birds and I liked the high shooting rates it offered. What I didn't like was the rather clumsy manual focus arrangement. There were also some image quality issues, but I managed to get quite good shots for the most part. When the FZ150 was released, it appeared, on the specifications at least, that all the problems the FZ100 carried had been sorted out. Panasonic reduced the sensor size and got a much better quality image. They added a very useful side lever, which can be used as an alternative zoom or manual focus control. That alone made the camera much better for my use, as there are often leaves and branches between me and the bird I am trying to photograph. The auto focus will normally try to focus on those instead of the bird. To make it even better the camera now has an even faster auto focus than the FZ100, although in practice, I found it hard to tell the difference. Bear in mind that the FZ100 was already pretty fast in that respect. I have had the camera just over a month now and it is a great little piece of kit. The image quality is excellent and its high speed burst rates are as outstanding. These factors are important when trying to get fleeting shots of birds. In fact, its almost a birding camera, as it combines all the features you could want to photograph birds. I am very pleased with my purchase and would have no hesitation in recommending this camera to any body wanting a high performance super zoom.
