Bright LEICA DC Lens – F2.8-4.0 25-400mmThe new LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens is created especially for the DMC-FZ1000. It has an F2.8-4.0 brightness that resists blurring even with telephoto shots, and an angle of view that extends from 25mm wide-angle to 16x optical zoom^*. Comprising 15 elements in 11 groups, including 4 ED lenses and 5 aspherical lenses with 8 aspherical surfaces, this advanced lens unit achieves high MTF value. Adoption of 5 aspherical glass lenses achieves beautiful, evenly smooth defocus with invisible edge line, which is made possible by Panasonic’s unique aspherical lens mold technology.

Light Speed AF with LUMIX DFD Focus TechnologyA new linear motor integrated into the focus system achieves approx. 275% faster¹focusing, compared to the conventional DMC-FZ200. In addition new DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology² shortens the time to set the focus. It instantaneously calculates the distance to the subject by evaluating 2 images with different sharpness levels. As a result, ultra high-speed AF of approx. 0.09 sec³ (wide-end) / approx. 0.17^{1, 4}sec (tele-end) is achieved.
