About the Panasonic FZ80 Black Digital Camera

Ultra Wide-angle and Dynamic Zoom 20-1200mm

Capture moments near and far. The 20-1200mm zoom lens and 4K Video/Photo recording capability will make sure you catch those fleeting photo opportunities in active outdoor situations.

Taking Bridge Cameras to Another Level

The LUMIX FZ80 bridge camera is worth to be called an "All-Rounder". Photographer and LUMIX Ambassador Jacob James discovered the colourful and vibrant life of the streets of Tel Aviv only using his LUMIX FZ80

Foresight in Full Details

The 20mm wide angle lens allows you to shoot breathtaking landscapes in wide panoramic pictures. For more details you can use the powerful 60x zoom to capture moments you don't even see.

Safe and Crystal Clear

The LUMIX FZ80 perfectly fits in your hand with a safe and ergonomic grip. Thanks to the viewfinder, you always have a clear view of your environment even in bright sunlight. A bridge camera for everyone that is perfect to take on your adventures.

No More Blur at 60x Zoom

The POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabiliser) effectively suppresses hand-shake vibration at the tele-end, and realizes handheld 1200mm super telephoto shooting. The Active Mode is equipped with LUMIX FZ80 that encourages active video recording at wide angle such as shooting while walking without causing deterioration of image quality.

1cm Macro Shooting

Stunning macro photos can be shot with minimum focusing distance of 1cm. You can enjoy shooting close-up shots with the LUMIX FZ80 to express spectacular details of flowers, insects and so on.

RAW Data Development in Camera

The LUMIX FZ80 can shoot images in RAW-format and even develop them inside the camera, to adjust the following settings: Colour Space Setting (sRGB / AdobeRGB), White Balance, Exposure Compensation, Photo Style, Intelligent D-range Control, Contrast, Highlight / Shadow, Saturation, Noise Reduction, Intelligent Resolution, Sharpness.

3-2-1 ACTION!

Make it easy to shoot high quality pictures in dynamic and fast-moving environments. Just shoot a short 4K video sequence with 30 frames per second and save your favourite picture as a high resolution image in camera. A perfect feature to capture your adventures

Relive Your Adventures

Relive your favourite unmissable moments by recording your biggest adventures and most important steps in life with the LUMIX FZ80. The 4K video mode is up to 4x resolution of Full HD. Amazing quality for your fast paced action and exciting scenes.

4K Live Cropping

4K Live Cropping enables unique video expressions that were previously difficult to record. Only the recording frame moves while the camera maintains a fixed position. This allows stable panning, and lets you zoom in on a subject that is not in the image's centre position.

High Speed Video in HD

You can record high-speed videos* at 100fps (For NTSC area: 120fps) in HD quality. You can capture scenes that can't be seen with the naked eye, and play them back in dramatic slow motion. The recording format is 25p (For NTSC area: 30p)

Ultra High Speed Focusing

Capture even the fastest moving action thanks to DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology. It instantly calculates the distance to the subject by evaluating two images with different sharpness levels, and achieves ultra-high-speed AF and 6 fps burst shooting with AFC. 10 fps burst shooting with AFS is also available.

Shoot Now, Focus Later!

Taking photos without worrying about focusing. Based on the newest 4K technology, the Post Focus feature gives you the power to touch the area you' d like to be in focus, even after the shot has been taken. With the Focus Stacking feature, you can easily selected several focus points in the same image to give you more creative freedom. A feature which saves you time to focus on the more important things in life!

Focus Peaking

Focus Peaking function shows the peak of focus in MF and AF+MF mode. It is also available in remote photo / video shooting with smartphone / tablet via Wi-Fi

1/16000 Electronic Shutter

High shutter speed at max. 1/16000 sec with an electronic shutter enables you to capture spur-of-the-moment of fast moving subject. It also lets you open the aperture even outdoors, and reduce washouts even under strong sunlight.
