The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500 20.1 Megapixel Digital Camera features a large 20.1MP 1" High Sensitivity MOS Sensor and bright 20x Leica Vario-Elmarit f/2.8-4.5 lens. The FZ2500 camera has an astonishing blend of sophisticated photographic capabilities and outstanding video features, including DCI 4K format video at a real 24.00 fps and a 20.1MP 1" High Sensitivity MOS Sensor.

Large OLED Live View Finder
In direct sunshine, the OLED Live View Finder (2,360k-dot) delivers remarkable visibility (10,000:1 contrast) for optimal framing. Overall visibility is improved by a high magnification of 0.74X (35mm camera equivalent) and a broad viewing angle. A rear touch feature-enabled tilt/swivel monitor gives the ability to record unique viewpoints. To set focus or release the shutter, simply touch the screen.

1" 20.1 MP Sensor
Even at high ISOs (ISO12800 / Extended ISO25600), the huge 1-inch 20.1-megapixel 4K High Sensitivity MOS Sensor gives outstanding details, allowing for remarkable defocus with a small depth of field.

Venus Engine
The Venus Engine in the LUMIX FZ2500 enables high-quality picture captures and high-speed signal processing for 4K video recording, while sensitivity, gradation performance, resolution, and color reproduction are substantially increased.

20x Leica f/2.8-4.5 lens
A brilliant LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens (F/2.8-4.5) avoids blurring and covers a wide-angle of view from 24mm to 20X optical zoom. The MTF value, as well as the suppression of ghosts and flare, match Leica's strict criteria. Smooth, steady zooming is provided via an internal guide-pole system, which greatly reduces picture shift. A galvanometer-drive iris, like those seen in professional video cameras, seamlessly adjusts to variations in brightness, ensuring smooth, seamless iris control even while zooming.

Code of Time
In the post-production workflow, an SMPTE-compliant Time Code in either the Rec Run or Free Run count-up approach makes it simple to synchronize numerous video or sound sources. In the 59.94Hz or 23.98Hz settings, you can choose between Drop Frame and Non-Drop Frame.

Quick / Slow Motion
The VFR (Variable Frame Rate) feature allows you to capture slow or fast motion films in Full HD, such as 120 fps / 5X in 24p playback. You may also move between 1/2X slow and 2X rapid motion in a single movie while recording using the slow/quick motion feature.

Zoom Dolly
This approach merely zooms in on the background, not on the subject. A way for expressing sentiments such as bewilderment, anguish, or astonishment. You may also change the settings on the camera menu with the DMW-MS2 Stereo Shotgun Microphone (available separately): Stereo, Lens Auto, Shotgun, Super Shotgun, and Manual.
