Panasonic LUMIX
DMC-FZ40 is a 14.1-megapixel hybrid digital compact camera that combines a powerful optical zoom and creative options including manual operation. The newly developed LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens in the DMC-FZ40 extends its optical zoom range from 25mm to 24x, 600mm equivalent.
The powerful 24x optical zoom can increases its power to 32x equivalent with the Intelligent Zoom function taking advantage of the Intelligent Resolution technology maintaining the picture quality even using digital zoom. Combining Sonic Speed AF with a high-speed start-up gives the FZ40 the industry's fastest level of response which helps to catch even the most fleeting photo opportunities.
