Movie Functions

Intelligent Auto Mode (Movie)
Select iA mode, and your LUMIX camera automatically activates a host of advanced functions and
technologies – described below – that make it easy to capture beautiful, clear motion images.
MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer)
This function fi ghts blurring due to shaky hands as you shoot. You get crisp, sharp
shots, even at high zoom levels. *The FZ35 is equipped with POWER O.I.S.
Face Detection AF/AE
This function detects when there are faces in the frame, and automatically adjusts
the exposure, contrast, skin complexion effect, and focus so they turn out perfectly.
It can fi nd up to 15 faces in a frame.
Intelligent Scene Selector
This function senses the shooting conditions and selects the scene setting (Portrait,
Scenery, Low Light, or Macro) that will provide the best results.
Intelligent Exposure
This function continually checks the ambient light level and adjusts the exposure
setting as conditions change, preventing blown highlights and blocked shadows.
HD Movie
You can shoot high-quality HD motion images in the progressive format, which
minimizes fl icker. The 1280 x 720-pixel images provide spectacular viewing on a large-
screen HDTV. If you're using a LUMIX model that features the AVCHD Lite (MPEG-4/
H.264), you can record for a longer time without running out of memory because
AVCHD Lite stores less data than the conventional Motion JPEG.
Movie Button
Press this button and the camera starts recording right away,
regardless of whether it's in Rec or Play mode. You're ready to
shoot quickly when there's a sudden shooting opportunity.
Zoom-in Movie
You can zoom in and out while shooting motion images, just like with stills.
Movie Scene Modes
17 different scene modes including sports, portrait, low light, surf and snow
modes make it easy to get great motion images in specifi c situations.
Wind Cut
A digital circuit detects the wind direction and velocity and adjusts the directivity
of the microphones accordingly. This dramatically reduces both wind noise and
sound degradation in the low frequency range.
Stereo Microphone
The LUMIX cameras are the fi rst* in the industry to feature Dolby® Digital Creator
sound. In addition to recording voices clearly, this high-quality system captures
audio that conveys the atmosphere of the shooting location.
* As of January 27, 2009.
