The DMC-FZ28 features a 27mm wide-angle Leica DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens with 18x optical zoom in a compact body. The bright, large-diameter lens with f/2.8 to 4 aperture has minimal distortion and captures images with corner-to-corner clarity. You can also take advantage of powerful 18x zoom in motion picture recording. From dynamic wide-angle shots to powerful telephotos. From macro shots with the lens as close as 1 cm from your subject to beautiful portraits with softly focused backgrounds.

The iA (Intelligent Auto) mode includes MEGA O.I.S. to detect hand-shake, Intelligent ISO Control to detect subject movement, Face Detection to detect faces in the frame, Intelligent Scene Selector to detect scene conditions, Light Detection to detect the brightness level and - new to the DMC-FZ28 - AF Tracking to continually track a moving subject and keep it in focus. These six functions work automatically and simultaneously in iA Mode to optimize your settings, making it easier than ever to take beautiful photos every time.
