Venus Engine III
Venus Engine III, the newly improved image processing LSI, inherits the
conventional Venus Engine II's quick response and high-quality image output,
yet dramatically reduces noise levels. This makes it possible to shoot at
ISO 1600 with full resolution.
Full Manual Operation
In addition to advanced manual control with zoom ring and focus ring, the
DMC-FZ50 is equipped with a new Function button that serves as a shortcut to
quickly set frequently used settings. This helps you take photos exactly as
you envision them. Also, thanks to the Custom Setting function, your
frequent setting patterns can be memorized.
Useful Functions
The Free nangle LCD is now adjustable to 180 degrees both vertically and
horizontally. This assists smooth shooting even in high and low-angle
shooting positions.
Mode Dial / Scene Mode
The mode dial makes it easy to retrieve the desired mode settings. A variety
of Scene Mode settings optimize Scenery, Panning, and other photo
techniques, giving you a choice of sixteen modes in all.
More Creative Fun
The DMC-FZ50 can record beautiful WVGA (848 x 480-pixel) motion pictures and
zooming while shooting. You will also discover many other ways to explore
the fun and creativity of photography.
