AVCHD Lite Beautiful HD movies,
extended shooting time
The FZ35 records HD movies with 1280 x 720-pixel resolution.
It uses the AVCHD Lite format (MPEG-4/H.264) to achieve higher image
quality while storing less data than the conventional Motion JPEG.
Plus, the FZ35 is equipped with an HDMI output terminal for
direct transmission of digital image and sound signals. Just connect
the camera to an HDTV using a single HDMI mini cable (optional) for
fast and easy slideshow enjoyment.
Creative Movie mode:
You can adjust the aperture and shutter speed any way you like. This
mode gives you a wider range of expressive possibilities to explore
in your movie making.
Zoom-in movie: You can zoom in and out while
shooting movies.
Stereo mic: This camera features Dolby Digital
Stereo Creator, which records dynamic, true-to-life audio to bring
out the power of your HD images.
IA mode (Movie): You can also use iA mode to shoot
movies, and let the camera do all the work for you.
High-speed response for truly
intuitive shooting
Enjoy high-speed 1.2-second start-ups, AF speeds of approximately
0.3 second, and up to five consecutive shots at 2.3 frames per
second with full resolution. You can also take up to 470 photos with
a single battery charge (CIPA). This comfortable level of
performance lets you capture even the most fleeting shutter chances.
Wide-angle 27mm LEICA DC
VARIO-ELMARIT lens and 18x optical zoom
The bright F2.8 LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens ranges from 27mm
wide-angle all the way to 486mm telephoto. Combined with the double*
corrective power of the improved POWER O.I.S., this makes it
possible to capture subjects clearly without hand-shaking, even in
the telephoto range.

My Color mode puts you in
control of the color
In this mode, you can freely adjust the color, brightness and
saturation parameters. This makes it easier and more fun to create
interesting, expressive images. Adjust the settings that best suit
the shooting conditions and your expressive intent, and then enjoy
your own photography.
