Manufacturer’s Description
The Panasonic DMC-FZ8 features a 12x optical zoom Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens . Panasonic's advanced Intelligent Image Stabilizer cures the blurs two ways. First, the MEGA O.I.S. minimizes blurring caused by shaky hands, even when zooming. And second, Intelligent ISO Control minimizes the motion blur that can occur when taking shots of kids, pets or other subjects that won't keep still. This Intelligent Image Stabilizer system combines with the high-resolution 7.2-megapixel image sensor and high-performance Venus Engine III image processor to deliver clear, sharp beautiful pictures.
