DMC-FZ300
All Round Bridge Camera
Take this ruggedly designed camera outdoors. Its 600 mm / F2.8 high-speed lens and 4K Video/Photo recording capability will definitely satisfy you and make sure you catch those fleeting photo opportunities.
Features
25-600mm Zoom with Full-Range F2.8
The 25-600mm LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens boasts full-range F2.8. Regardless of how distant your subject is, or how fast it is moving, this lens won’t let it get away. And the constant F2.8 capability enhances low light shooting throughout the entire zoom range.
Also, Panasonic’s black box technology Nano Surface Coating boasts extremely low reflectance ratio and it is applied to the LUMIX FZ300 for exceptional optical performance with stunning clarity by minimising flaring and ghosting.
• 35mm camera equivalent: 25-600mm.
High Image Quality Even in Low Light Conditions
The 12.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS Sensor in
combination with the Venus Engine provides both: high
quality image capture and high speed signal processing.
The superior noise reduction system enables crisp images
even in low light conditions up to ISO 6400.
The Venus Engine also excels in diffraction compensation
to make images crisp and clear even when shooting with a
small aperture.
5-axis Correction /
Tilt Correction
5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S.+ (Optical Image Stabilizer Plus)*
gives you blur-less one-handed video shooting. It detects
and compensates for the camera's 5 types of movement –
horizontal, vertical, axis of rotation, vertical rotation and
horizontal rotation. The Level Shot Function detects the
image's horizontal line and maintains it even if the camera
is tilted. It takes stable video even in high-angle, blind
recording.
* 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S. works in video recording except for 4K video
recording.

4K Video and 4K Photo —
Capture the Perfect Moment
Special moments you want to remember can occur at any time and should be captured in
the best resolution possible. Now Panasonic's 4K technology is available for everyone. With
the introduction of the new LUMIX FZ300, you will be able to record video in 4K (up to
QFHD: 3840 x 2160 pixels, 30 fps, 100Mbit/s).
Furthermore, with the 4K Photo feature, you can extract the perfect photo out of a 4K video
sequence easily on the camera and save it as an
8-megapixel equivalent still image.
The LUMIX FZ300 is especially useful for both video and photo shooting.

4K Photo Modes — Free Your Creativity
The 4K Photo function can be used in three different modes, all allowing you to capture that
perfect moment at a high burst rate of 30 frames / photos per second:
4K Burst
This is a function that you can use more like using photo burst shooting mode. The camera
keeps on shooting 8-megapixel equivalent images at ultra high burst rate as long as the
shutter button is pressed.
4K Burst S/S (Start/Stop)
This function is the standard 4K Photo function where you are able to record a 4K video to
extract any frame / photo as an 8-megapixel equivalent image later. You can relax and wait
for the moment to come.
4K Pre-Burst
The specialty of the '4K Pre-Burst' mode is that the camera starts recording a 4K video
sequence one second before & after you press the shutter button. This allows you to
capture an unpredictable moment which happens much faster than you are able to react.
You can get extra 60 photos to choose the best from.
4K Video — More Details Than Full HD
Whether you are watching movies or editing videos, 4K delivers a far more intense viewing
experience than you have seen before. Its native resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels is four
times larger than Full HD, resulting in a much higher level of detail. Even if you export your
footage filmed in 4K to a Full HD TV, the video files will have even better definition and
crisper details than those filmed in Full HD.
・When recording videos in 4K, use a card rated as UHS Speed Class 3.
Post Focus - Select the in-focus area even after shooting
Have you ever imagined that you can set sharp focus on the target subject after you shot the images? Now you can easily do it with the Post Focus function.
The function has been developed based on Panasonic's 4K and high-speed, high-precision DFD (Depth From Defocus) auto focus technology.
Shoot the image on the spot and save it as you like later - it's a whole new photographic experience for creative freedom. Learn more>>
