Overview

With its modern technology and immense versatility, the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ2500 Digital Camera is an ingenious gadget for both photography and videography enthusiasts. It features a 20.1-MP, 1-inch, high-sensitivity MOS sensor, which lets you capture photos and videos of supreme quality. The 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S. makes it easy to shoot blur-free pictures, even of subjects that are in high-speed motion. Use the inbuilt autofocus, which comes with DFD technology, for focusing on your scene automatically with impressive sharpness and detail. Lastly, the integrated WiFi facility makes it possible to share the captured content with a majority of compatible devices.

Optics and Focus

The LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens from Panasonic, which has a focal length of 8.8-176 mm and an aperture of f/2.8-4.5, is constructed with 16 elements in 11 groups and features a 9-blade diaphragm for providing your pictures with a gorgeous bokeh. The built-in autofocus, which comes with DFD technology, enables you to focus on your scene automatically. The 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S. makes the task of shooting blur-free pictures of even fast-moving subjects an effortless one. The electronic shutter operates at its maximum speed of 1/16,000th of a second, whereas the ISO ranges between 80 and 25,600. Moreover, use the numerous White Balance and Exposure modes for a variety of photography situations.

Sensor and Screen

The LUMIX DMC-FZ2500 from Panasonic is equipped with a 20.1-MP, 1-inch, high-sensitivity MOS sensor that enables you to shoot high-quality videos and pictures. The 3-inch TFT LCD touchscreen comes with a wide viewing angle, a resolution of 1040 k dots, and a static touch control for viewing captured content and accessing menus with immense clarity. The 2360 k-dot OLED Live viewfinder comes in handy when shooting under bright light. Also, the touchscreen and viewfinder both offer a 100% field of view.

Image and Video

This camera from Panasonic not only takes RAW, JPEG, and DPOF pictures at a resolution of up to 5472 x 3080 pixels at a 16:9 aspect ratio, but also records amazing 4K videos at a 3840 x 2160-pixel resolution at 30p in the MOV and MP4 formats. You can shoot regular images and 4K images in a continuous manner at a burst rate of 50 fps and 30 fps, respectively. For added creativity, you can even capture astounding panorama shots.

Other Features

The built-in WiFi connectivity in the LUMIX DMC-FZ2500 enables you to share your videos and photos with a variety of WiFi-enabled devices. Use the camera’s microHDMI TypeD port for connecting it to a television for viewing the content directly on the bigger screen.
