Features The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 digital camera and Information
The obvious appeal of the Panasonic DMC FZ18 is its 18x optical zoom. This is one of the first digital cameras to increase the length of the lens of a digital camera beyond the age of 12 x. The aim is to support stabilization image to help reduce camera shake caused by the extra weight of the lens. The DMC FZ18 also hosts a number of manual controls and settings and is based on lines a digital SLR camera. In fact, is one of the most feature-rich, you can buy. It has 8 megapixels.
The FZ18 is the successor the FZ8. The biggest change in the guts of the camera is the most powerful zoom. The FZ8 has a 12x optical zoom and the FZ18 gets an 18x optical zoom. In addition, is a small bump 8-megapixel resolution of 7.1 megapixels and 2.5 inch screen is higher resolution in the FZ18. Software-wise, Panasonic automatically submitted the Smart in the FZ18, which essentially packages of facial recognition, stabilization, continuous AF, Intelligent ISO Control, and the image in an easy use in automatic mode.
Panasonic has been a key player in the super-zoom field since the launch of its impressive Leica lens Lumix DMC-FZ1 in 2002 and maintained this position with a series of host models in the same series. Today, I take a look at the latest in the line, the FZ18, which offers a tempting specification for anyone with £ 300 to spend. It has a 8.1 megapixel CCD 2.5-inch 230k LCD monitor, RAW shooting mode and a massive 18x Leica zoom with stabilization optical image and a 28-504mm equivalent focal length.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 is a reflection, but is more compact. The handle is covered with textured rubber it feels almost silky. The top panel is a relatively large chop rubber surface for the index comfortably wrap the front of the camera. At the end of the grip hand, the zoom ring around the shutter button is visible. At the right trigger and the protrusion of the handle is a small mark Panasonic DMC-FZ18.
Part back of the FZ18 is also very similar to the FZ8. Both cameras have a 2.5 inch LCD screen on the left is a platform that rises from the body a few mm. To the right of the LCD screen of 1.5 inches of space occupied by the same buttons as the FZ8. To the top right of the LCD screen is a little control. The left side is identical to the FZ8 specifications except the price target. The former model 12x optical zoom and Panasonic FZ18 has a 18x optical zoom, even if the cameras are almost the same size.
The right side of the camera looks familiar. It is also almost identical to the FZ8. The only difference is the addition of a few inches in the rear of the device is visible from this side of the FZ18. In front of a handful of gold is a chrome eyelet for neck strap, and hand surface rubber grip in front of it. Two chrome strap eyelets flank neck top of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18, which is irregular. The lens barrel looks enormous when viewed from above. The Flash component is at the top. The viewer enters the flash component. Directly to the right of the viewfinder is the way round. He has many more posts FZ8 scene modes including custom and solidarity. The bottom of the camera is quite thick. This is a metal tripod, which is slightly middle of the lens, which could hinder installation. Below the door handle is a plastic friction pressure covering the slots of the battery and memory card
