The side lever makes it smoother to zoom when concentrating on the shutter operation with the right hand. Focus can also be changed with this lever, which is convenient in video recording.
A 3.0-inch 3:2 460,000-dot free-angle LCD rotates 180° to the side and tilts 270° up and down. This LCD enables dynamic, artistic framing with high-angle shots and low-angle shots. It's convenient when shooting with a tripod too.
Turn-and-Push Jog Dial
With the DMC-FZ150, you can enjoy creative shooting by expressing yourself not only in photos but also in videos. The turn-and-push jog dial enhances operation for quick setting changes.
EVF (Electronic Viewfinder)
A clear 0.2-inch EVF features a 100% field of view, 201,600-dot equivalent, and a large, comfortable eyepiece. It is easy to use and provides fast, accurate framing. Using the viewfinder also consumes no battery power.
Dual Speed Zooming
This function allows you to control the zoom operation in 2 speeds, Low and Fast, with the side lever. Slide the lever a small amount for slow zooming, and a larger amount for high-speed zooming.
Focus Button
The focus button helps to achieve finer focusing. During AF operation, it serves to activate the variable AF area, and during MF operation, it changes to a handy One-shot AF to provide initial focusing. During playback, this convenient and important function gives you one-touch zoom playback of subjects in focus.
iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode
In the iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode, the camera does all the work, leaving you free to compose shots and capture moments in both photo and video recording. The Intelligent Resolution technology, the 32x Intelligent Zoom and the newly added Intelligent Handheld Night Shot Mode are always activated in the iA Mode.
Gyrosensors detect hand-shaking and the O.I.S. lens shifts to compensate, helping prevent blurring caused by hand-shaking.
The Motion Deblur Mode*2 judges the appropriate shutter speed and suppresses motion blur. The shutter speed rises as high as possible activating the high sensitivity recording by pixel mixed readout method.
The Intelligent ISO Control function detects subject movement and automatically adjusts the ISO setting and shutter speed to best suit the movement and light conditions.
The Face Recognition function remembers faces that have been registered in the camera and provides the faces with optimal focus and exposure.
The Face Detection function detects faces anywhere in the frame and automatically chooses the optimal focus and exposure. The Face Detection also features the Digital Red-eye Correction (Red-eye Removal) in photo recording.
Once you focus on your subject, the AF Tracking automatically and continuously tracks it and keeps it in focus and proper exposure.
The Intelligent Scene Selector senses the ambient conditions and automatically selects one of Scene Modes: Photo (Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait*6, Night Scenery or Sunset Mode), Video (Scenery, Portrait, Macro or Low Light Mode).
The Happy Mode optimizes color, saturation and brightness to make images more vivid and true to the color of the scene you remember.
The Intelligent D-range Control offers natural looking by optimizing the exposure for each part of an image, preventing blocked shadows and blown highlights and helping ensure that gradation and details are reproduced beautifully including the blue color of the sky.
*1 The POWER O.I.S., Face Detection AF/AE, and Intelligent D-range Control are automatically turned on in the iA Mode and can be turned on or off in the P/A/S/M Mode or some Scene Modes.
*2 The picture size may be reduced.
*3 The Intelligent ISO Control is automatically turned on in the iA Mode and can be turned on or off in the P/A Mode or some Scene Modes.
*4 Turn the Face Recognition ON and register the person with full-face portrait on the shooting menu in advance.
Recognition performance varies greatly depending on shooting conditions, i.e., according to factors such as angles, facial expression and lighting, so operation under all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Because the camera searches for faces that are similar to registered faces, there are cases where the faces are not correctly recognized when the registered image and the shooting image varies much. When facial characteristics are similar, particularly between parents and their children or brothers and sisters, the camera may not distinguish the faces.
*5 With some subject and shooting conditions, it is just not possible to judge the best shooting details. When this happens, it is recommended that you shoot with the Scene Mode that best suits your purpose.
*6 In the iA Mode, the Night Portrait is not identified when the flash is turned off.
ISO Setting in 1/3 Steps
You can set the ISO sensitivity up to 3200. When the ISO sensitivity step is set to 1/3 EV, the DMC-FZ150 allows you to make fine adjustments and achieve the level of image quality you want.
Finely Detailed White Balance Setting
2-axis adjustment feature gives you a finer white balance adjustment. You can adjust with a reference to the horizontal axis for amber to blue and the vertical axis for green to magenta*.
With still image recording, you can use the White Balance Bracket setting, which automatically shoots 3 consecutive photos with slight changes to the white balance setting of each photo in both the vertical and horizontal axes.
* White balance adjustment is not possible in some modes.
