Panasonic FZ2500: The Perfect Choice for Enthusiasts and Professionals
The Panasonic FZ2500 builds on the success of the previous FZ1000 model, offering a comprehensive range of options for advanced enthusiasts and professionals. It's the perfect choice for both photography and film-making.
20 x Optical Leica Zoom
With a 24-480mm (35mm equivalent) lens that offers a zoom range equal to a traditional 3-lens DSLR setup, the FZ2500 allows you a massive amount of framing versatility. You can capture a wide establishing shot of a scene and then zoom in for a close-up to shoot a dramatic reaction all with the simple flick of the conveniently placed lens barrel zoom button.
Advanced Video Formats
The camera offers cutting-edge 4K video options to open even more creative opportunities. As well as QFHD 4K which offers 3840x2160 pixels the camera shoots Cinema 4K which consists of 4096x2160 pixels for even higher resolution. Full HD video is also available at 200Mbps (ALL-Intra) or 100Mbps (IPB) with no limit on recording duration so each second packs in more video and pixel data to provide super high quality footage.
Built-in Video Features
Designed to provide enhanced video control the camera provides a range of different video features to help to tell with your visual story telling.
Neutral Density Filter
An integrated neutral density filter system with four options, -4EV, -2EV and -6EV as well as an automatic setting allows you to reduces the light while shooting video. That means you can open up the lens aperture to compensate achieving a shallow depth of field for an enhanced blurry background effect, even in bright situations.
Smooth Iris Changes
The lens has been designed with enhanced technology to enables super smooth iris control to makes sure that transitions between aperture values are smooth rather than the traditional hard light drops DSLR and mirrorless cameras deliver.
Smooth Zoom Changes
Featuring an interior zoom structure, the lens system of the camera uses a guide-pole mechanism to provide smooth stable zoom adjustments so you can modify you zoom while filming and still capture usable footage. A coreless DC motor enables gentle constantly zooming while providing seamless focus length changes.
Diverse Audio Function
Anyone who makes films knows how important it is to have high quality audio to tell a story effectively the FZ2500 has both a 3.5mm microphone jack so you can add in a high performance microphone as well as a headphone port so you can monitor the sounds levels, these features are essential to capturing high quality audio.
20.1 Megapixel Image Quality
Boasting a 1-inch 20.1 megapixel MOS sensor makes it is possible to shoot at higher ISO sensitivities and still produce clean images with the FZ2500. While the 9-bladed aperture provides a stunning soft bokeh effect enabling you to separate your subject from the background to enhance your scene composition.
