Powerful Imaging for Entry-level Users

Panasonic’s LUMIX FZ82D is a compact, user-friendly camera packed with impressive features. It is ideal for capturing fast-paced moments, especially outdoors. The 18.1-megapixel High-Sensitivity MOS sensor and image processor Venus Engine borrowed from the FZ82 achieve the same high-speed response and high-quality images in various shooting scenarios. It also retains the rapid, high-precision DFD (Depth from Defocus) AF technology for a shorter focusing time to keep up with every action-packed moment. With AFS (Auto Focus Single) 10fps and AFC (Auto Focus Continuous) 6fps burst shooting, you can shoot single or multiple fast-moving subjects like birds or people in sharp clarity.

The FZ82D is also capable of Macro Shooting and has a Post-Focus function that enables you to select the in-focus area after shooting. This function is beneficial for adjusting the effect of macro shots but equally effective for changing the perspective of any photo if the in-focus area does not match your intention.

Navigate the Distance with a 60x Zoom Lens

The Panasonic LUMIX FZ82D’s versatile ultra-wide-angle LUMIX DC Vario 20-1200mm f2.8-5.9 lens has a 60x optical zoom and is ideal for shooting landscapes and distant subjects in stunning detail. Its impressive construction featuring 14 elements in 12 groups supports high image quality. It has six aspherical lenses, nine aspherical surfaces, and three ED lenses to correct aberrations and distortion for edge-to-edge sharpness.

The 20mm ultra-wide angle of view captures an approximately 140% wider image than a 24mm angle of view, allowing you to get more of that dynamic landscape in the frame. On the other hand, Intelligent Zoom uses digital zoom to extend the camera’s magnification up to 120x (2400mm) without sacrificing image quality, allowing you to photograph subjects even further away.

New to the FZ82D is Zoom Compose Assist, which offers practical support for framing. When shooting moving subjects from afar, it’s common to lose sight of them. With Zoom Compose Assist, you can rapidly zoom out, find your subject, and then zoom back in to return to your original composition, ensuring you don’t miss a shot.

Capture High-Quality 4K Photos and Videos

For consistently impressive results, Panasonic’s LUMIX FZ82D offers high-resolution 4K videos alongside 4K photos. A 4K PHOTO 30fps feature extracts the best file from a 4K burst file to save as a photo. Multiple images can be saved at once (up to 150 frames in five seconds), ensuring you can enjoy 4K photos of unmissable environments. The FZ82D records high-quality QFHD 4K videos in 3840 x 2160 at 30p/25p, perfect for capturing animals or sports events in crisp detail. You can also capture 100fps/120fps HD High-Speed Video for creative slow-motion effects. To support smooth results, the FZ82D has POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilisation) with Active Mode to suppress the effects of camera shake when capturing photos and recording video. The POWER O.I.S. is especially useful when shooting handheld or on the move, guaranteeing sharp, steady images and videos without a tripod.

User-Friendly Design for Comfortable Shooting

The Panasonic Lumix FZ82D offers versatile shooting options suited to the outdoors while incorporating hardware upgrades that allow you to take pictures of any scenery comfortably. The improved 0.39-inch 0.74x 2360k-dot OLED viewfinder and bright 3-inch 1840k-dot touchscreen provide a clearer view of your shot before you take it, even in bright sunlight. The grip’s design offers a safe and ergonomic hold, making it more comfortable when shooting for extended periods.
