12.1 MP Camera - 24x Optical Zoom - 4K Video - Integrated Wi-fi
Overview
Panasonic
Always closer to reality!
The LUMIX DMC-FZ300 's 12.1 megapixel high-sensitivity MOS sensor provides improved image quality and response speed in conjunction with a new Venus Engine image processor. This powerful combination enables therecording of 4K moviesof exceptional quality. It also benefits photographers who can accurately extract the decisive moment at 8 megapixel resolution from a series of 4K photos at 30fps.
The new large integrated OLED viewfinder with 1.4 million pixelsand a comfortable effective magnification of 0.7x is convincing with its high contrast of 10,000:1 and excellent colour rendition. The new touch function of the 7.5 cm fold-out and swivel LCD with more than 1 million pixels makes operation even easier.
And the built-in Wi-Fi module allows the FZ300 to communicate wirelessly with smartphones or tablets, now even without a password, to easily share photos, record them or control the camera from the mobile device.

Superior image qualityThe LUMIX FZ300 is equipped with the bright Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 2.8/4.5-108 mm wide-angle zoom lens (35 mm equivalent: 25-600 mm), whose large, constant maximum aperture expands photographic possibilities with shallow depth of field, high shutter speeds and low-light shooting, making it exceptionally well positioned. Its construction has been kept very compact without loss of quality thanks to 14 lenses in 11 groups, including 1 UHR element, 3 ED lenses and 5 aspherical lenses with 9 aspherical surfaces. Particular attention was paid to low distortion at wide angles and the elimination of disturbing colour fringes at telephoto. A nano-coating of the surfaces with a particularly low refractive index layer ensures effective elimination of reflections in the entire visible light range between 380 and 780 nm. The result is exceptionally clear images without ghosting or internal reflections. The effective OIS image stabiliser ensures stable, shake-free shots, even at long focal lengths. The combination of the 12.1-megapixel high-sensitivity MOS sensor with the new Venus Engine image processor further enhances image quality. Advanced Multi Process NR effectively reduces noise while retaining fine subject structure and detail. The addition of a new random filter gives colour noise an analogue character and thus creates a natural effect. This allows for outstanding photography up to a maximum of ISO 6400. |

New 4K photo and video functionsThe FZ300 allows smooth 4K video recording at 3840 x 2160 pixels at 25p or 24p, in addition to Full HD at 1920 x 1080 pixels and 50p, and still with continuous autofocus. A Panasonic speciality is the "4K Photo" option. This allows photographers to simply record fast-moving or unpredictable scenes in a 4K series at 30fps and later extract the optimal still image of the decisive moment as an 8-megapixel photo.
Three new 4K modes are provided for this purpose: 4K Pre-Shot, 4K Burst and 4K Burst (Start/Stop). The 4K Pre-Shot mode automatically records 60 frames: 30 frames before and 30 frames after the shutter release. 4K Burst continuously records 30 frames/s, similar to full resolution burst shooting. In 4K Burst mode (Start/Stop), pressing the shutter button once starts shooting and pressing it again stops it. The 4K Photo function thus helps the FZ300 photographer to capture the moment of truth in an 8-megapixel image. This resolution allows prints of up to 20 x 30 cm in the usual photographic quality of 300 dpi. The full zoom range with 5-stage soft zoom function and the efficient 5-axis Hybrid-OIS+ image stabilisation are also available for video recording. OIS compensates for camera shake in virtually all directions when shooting handheld. A high-speed video function allows slow-motion shooting of fast-moving subjects at 100 fps (PAL/HD) and even 240 fps (VGA). Time lapse and stop motion animation functions are also available. |
Robust housing and improved image controlTo withstand the harshest of conditions, the FZ300 is equipped with a splashproof and dustproof body that meets the same specifications as hybrid cameras (DSLM), despite its many moving parts.
The DMC-FZ300 features a large OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) LVF (Live View Finder) with 1.4 million pixels and can reproduce high contrast at up to 10,000:1. The0.7x viewfinder magnification ensures comfortable viewing and overview. Thanks to the suppression of undetailed highlights and blocked shadows, a good view of the image is ensured even under difficult conditions.Switching between viewfinder and monitor is triggered automatically by the eye sensor on the eyecup. The 3" swivel LCD on the back of the FZ300 also displays 100% of the image. Its new touch function also allows direct touch control of autofocus and shutter release. The main subject can be enlarged with the touch of a finger for greater control. Thanks to an increased resolution of 1.04 million pixels and improved colour representation, details can be easily distinguished on the LCD screen, even in bright environments. In addition to the rear dial, the FZ300 is equipped with a side dial for manual adjustment of, for example, aperture and shutter speed. The dials and FN buttons can be assigned to various functions, depending on preference. In addition, the dials can be used to momentarily change functions. For example, in normal operation, the white balance is set with the front dial, while the ISO value is changed with the lens dial. In addition, it is possible to change the function of the front dial at short notice, for example to make exposure compensation. The focus switch makes it easy to switch quickly between AFS/AFC/MF modes. |

Improved responsiveness with hybrid contrast metering autofocusA linear motor focusing system ensures highly responsive focusing. Accelerated, almost instantaneous focusing is based on Hybrid Contrast Metering Autofocus with Depth From Defocus (DFD) technology. It calculates the distance to the subject 240 times per second by analysing two shots with different planes of focus and taking into account the data provided by the lens. The FZ300 achieves an extremely fast focusing time of only 0.09 seconds, which is about 350% faster than the FZ200. This advantage is even more noticeable with longer focal lengths. Burst shooting is possible at up to 12 fps in full resolution at 12 megapixels. The fastest shutter speed with the mechanical shutter is 1/4000 s (with the 25 mm wide angle) or 1/3200 s (with the 600 mm telephoto). The electronic shutter even allows speeds of 1/16,000s. The DMC-FZ300 also features new focus options. The focus range now encompasses 49 areas. The"Low Light" autofocus still allows for sharpness in the dark down to -3 EV. The Focus Peaking display function makes it easy to check the focus in the Live View image in the viewfinder or on the monitor, both in MF and AF+MF mode. |
Wi-Fi for wireless image transmission and remote controlThe DMC-FZ300 is equipped with a Wi-Fi module (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n) for wireless communication with a smartphone or tablet on which Panasonic's Image App is installed. The connection between the camera and the mobile device is established without entering a password or QR code. The smartphone or tablet can then be used to perform Live View image control, as well as to release the shutter, zoom, focus or adjust the shutter speed, aperture and exposure compensation, and to save and share photos.
Panasonic's "Image App" is available for free for both Android and iOS. |

FZ-300
Hello.
I am a beginner in photography.
Coming from the world of video (only travel reports in HD), I wanted a tropicalized camera filming in 4K and, at this price, the FZ-300 is unique on the market: Price/performance/quality ratio without equivalent!
It comes as a complement to my HD camera to shoot some outdoor scenes in 4K and to take pictures to insert in my videos. The goal is reached.
Only bemol apart from the complexity of the Pgrm, the absence of ring of adjustment on the lens, replaced by a wheel: bof bof.
The result is still very positive and I recommend it without reservation to all those who seek a versatile camera.
