Η διάδοχος της Panasonic FZ1000, μιας 4K “bridge” κάμερας που έκανε καλή εντύπωση στα νερά των ψηφιακών είναι εδώ. Voila, η FZ2000. Μια “bridge” που κάτω από καπό κρύβει: ένα 20x zoom (24-480mm σε όρους 35mm) με σχεδιασμό από τη Leica και F2.8 – F 8.4 αλλά και:

Εγγραφή “unlimited” 4K σε Cinema DCI και UHD resolutions. Το DCI (4096 x 2160) φτάνει τα 24 fps και το UHD (3840 x 2160) τα 30 fps. Δεν είναι σαφές αν το 4K βγαίνει μέσω HDMI αλλά είναι clean 4:2:2 8-bit.

Ακόμη: log mode για HDR με λεπτομερές grading, V-Log L, νέο OLED viewfinder με ανάλυση 2360K και contrast 10,000:1. Για όλο το info, διαβάστε.

These features elevate the LUMIX FZ2000 far beyond the limitations of a conventional compact camera with high-performance photography and outstanding video recording. The LUMIX FZ2000 is the perfect device for both semi-professional videographers and photography enthusiasts wishing to experience professional shooting capabilities in a compact device.

Featuring the new LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT photo/video hybrid lens

The LUMIX FZ2000 features the newly-developed LEICA DC VARIO-ELMART lens system which has a 20x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 24-480mm) and F2.8-4.5. Comprising of 16 lenses in 11 groups, the lens system boasts high optical performance with minimum ghost and flaring and a guide-pole mechanism commonly used in professional video cameras.

Together with the inner zoom structure, the guide-pole realises exceptional barycentric stability for smooth, stable zooming, where image shift is dramatically suppressed by approximately 80% compared with its predecessor, the LUMIX FZ1000.

The LEICA DC VARIO-ELMART lens also incorporates a nine aperture diaphragm to realise soft, rounded defocus, which effortlessly matches sudden changes of brightness thanks to the adoption of a galvanometer also used in professional video cameras.

High-quality video capability elevates the compact camera to professional standards

The LUMIX FZ2000 boasts exceptional video recording performance which has never been seen in a bridge camera. It is capable of unlimited[1] 4K video recording (Cinema 4K: 4096×2160 / 24 fps and QFHD 4K: 3840×2160 / up to 30 fps) in MOV/MP4[2] and Full HD video at an ultra-high bitrate of 200 Mbps (ALL-Intra) or 100 Mbps (IPB).

Users can freely choose from MOV, MP4, AVCHD[3] Progressive and AVCHD at a variety of frame rates according to the usage. For professional users, the system frequency can be flexibly selected between59.94Hz (23.98Hz) / 50.00Hz / 24.00Hz. The LUMIX FZ2000 is alsocapable of real-time image output to an external monitor via an optional micro HDMI cable simultaneously while recording video. In addition, for more unique video expression, the LUMIX FZ2000 comes with further professional features such as VFR (Variable Frame Rate), Dolly Zoom, Time Lapse and Stop Motion Animation.

In further response to film production market demands, Panasonic offers an optional paid software upgrade for the LUMIX FZ2000 to comply with V-Log L video recording.[4]

Capture unmissable moments in high picture quality

The LUMIX FZ2000 incorporates a 1-inch High Sensitivity MOS Sensor with 20.1-megapixel high resolution. This large MOS Sensor improves S/N ratio, resulting in dramatic reduction of noise – even when shooting at ISO 12800.

The LUMIX FZ2000 also achieves ultra-high speed AF of approx. 0.09 sec[5] and high-speed burst shooting at 12 fps (AFS) / 7 fps (AFC) to capture fast-moving subjects in-focus up to 100 (JPEG) / 30 (RAW) images.

An additional 4K PHOTO feature captures unmissable photo opportunities at 30 fps by extracting the most photogenic frame from the 4K burst file to save as a photo. Users can save pictures in 8-megapixel equivalent high resolution, which is suitable for printing up to A3 size.

The integrated Post Focus function enables the selection of the in-focus area of a single frame even after shooting, whilst Panasonic’s new Focus Stacking function enables users to take multiple images of the same frame with different areas in focus, then combine all or selected focus areas into one image. Focus Stacking is particularly beneficial for shooting macro images.

The LUMIX FZ2000 offers sleek design and intuitive control

The LUMIX FZ2000 integrates an OLED Live View Finder (LVF) with a 2360K-dot equivalent high resolution in approx. 2.18x / 0.74x (35mm camera equivalent in 4:3) magnification capability. Adoption of OLED for the LVF achieves a high-speed response with minimum time lag of less than 0.01 sec as well as 10,000:1 high contrast for exceptional visibility. With an eye-point of approximately 20 mm, it also offers high visibility with comfort for users wearing glasses.

The LUMIX FZ2000 also features a well-defined grip for a stable hold and minimum fatigue when consistently using the camera over a longer period of time. The front/rear dual dial system enables direct setting over shutter speed and aperture, and an optimum layout of dials, buttons, lever and switch offers intuitive control with comfort for both photo and video shooting.

For further intuitive control, the 3.0-inch large, approx.1040K-dot rear vary-angle touchscreen with approximately 100% of field of view enables shooting in either high or low angle easier.

A host of other exciting features

3.5mm Microphone Jack / 3.5mm Headphone Jack
The 3.5mm microphone jack is for high-quality audio recording using an external microphone and the 3.5mm headphone jack enables monitoring recording audio while shooting video real-time.

Easy Wireless Connectivity via Wi-Fi with Smartphones
The LUMIX FZ2000 integrates Wi-Fi connectivity (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n) to offer a more flexible shooting experience and instant image sharing with easy operation.

Optional Accessories[6]
A variety of optional professional accessories including External Flash (DMW-FL580L, DMW-FL360L, DMW-FL200L), Stereo Shotgun Microphone (DMW-MS2), LED Video Light (VW-LED1), Remote Shutter (DMW-RSL1), 67mm PL Filter (DMW-LPL67) and MC Protector (DMW-LMCH67) are also offered for more creative freedom.

[2] Setting the HDMI output picture quality:

[4:2:2 10bit]: Users can output the image through the HDMI connection in higher picture quality, but cannot record it as a motion picture or still pictures. Ideal when the HDMI output is to be saved on external devices.

[4:2:2 8bit]: Users can record the image while outputting it through the HDMI connection. Ideal for recording while checking the motion picture on an external monitor. When using 4:2:2 / 8-bit output, video is recorded in 4:2:0 / 8-bit on SDXC/SDHC Memory Card.
