Wide Angle 28mm LEICA DC VARIO ELMARIT Lenz with 18x Optical Zoom This model features a compact lens system featuring a 28mm to 504mm(35mm equivalent) optical 18x zoom with 11 elements in 8 groups  including 3 aspherical lenses and 2 ED (extra low dispersion) lenses. For macro shots the wide angle setting lets you shoot all the way down to 1 cm from your subject  and the telephoto setting can be used up to 1 m from your subject. The FZ18 also adds the Extra Optical Zoom function  which boosts maximum zoom power to around 28.7x  In 3 mega pixel resolution mode.

MEGA O.I.S. Prevents Blurring from Hand Shake

Gyro sensors detect hand-shake and an O.I.S. lens shifts to compensate  preventing hand shake blur. LUMIX cameras have two MEGA O.I.S. modes. In Mode 1 the function is always active. In Mode 2 the function activates at the moment you press the shutter release, which　provides slightly better hand shake compensation. The MEGA O.I.S. system featured in new LUMIX models distinguishes hand shake from other kinds of camera movement, improving both detection MEGA O.I.S. OFF MEGA O.I.S. ON and correction.

Intelligent ISO Control Prevent Motion Blur

Thanks to Intelligent ISO Control, the camera can determine whether or not the subject is moving. If it is moving, Intelligent ISO Control changes the ISO sensitivity and shutter speed accordingly. You get clear  beautiful shots with no motion blur even when photographing kids who won't stay still.

Face Detection for Blur Free Portraits

The new Face Detection function detects faces anywhere in the frame and automatically chooses the optimal focus and exposure. It detects up to 15 faces in a photo  and automatically readjusts the settings if their positions change. In iA mode  the camera automatically begins focusing without even having to press the shutter button halfway  so you can catch even sudden photo opportunities. Not offered on all models

Intelligent Scene Selector Chooses the Mode that Best Fits the Situation

When the camera s in iA mode, the Intelligent Scene Selector senses the ambient conditions and automatically selects either Scenery  Portrait  Macro, Night Portrait or Night Scenery mode accordingly. It makes several other advanced image settings too  so you are assured of getting beautiful results every time you shoot  no matter what the scene or subject. With the Intelligent Scene Selector doing all the complicated work for you  you'll find photography easier than ever to enjoy.  Not offered on all previous LUMIX models; In iA mode  Night Scenery is not identified when the flash is turned off  and Night Portrait is not identified when the flash is set to Auto.
