Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500

If there was ever a point-and-shoot that could do anything, the Panasonic Lumix FZ2500 comes close with an incredible mix of advanced photographic capabilities thanks to a 20.1MP 1″ High Sensitivity MOS Sensor and outstanding video specs which include DCI 4K format video at a true 24.00 fps. Benefitting all of these functions is a versatile Leica DC Vario-Elmarit f/2.8-4.5 lens with a far-reaching 20x optical zoom. This optic uses numerous specialized elements to guarantee sharp images and offers an outstanding 24-480mm equivalent zoom range. On top of this, the camera features a DSLR-like body design that is very ergonomic, including manual control rings, a 0.74x 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, and a 3.0″ 1.04m-dot free-angle touchscreen LCD.

Interestingly for a normally stills-focused camera, the Panasonic Lumix FZ2500 boasts incredible video features, most notably DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) recording at 24.00 fps in addition to more conventional UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) and Full HD options. This capable camera also offers Panasonic’s CINELIKE D and CINELIKE V picture profiles for professional grading capabilities, and it can gain V-Log L through an optional upgrade. Along with this the camera has high bit rates of up to 200 Mbps using MP4 and MOV formats and it can output video over HDMI with a professional-quality 4:2:2 10-bit signal. Additionally, the FZ2500 has a built-in ND filter for selectable levels as well as no recording duration limit.

For stills, the Panasonic Lumix FZ2500 is a very capable system thanks to the high-resolution 1″ sensor. This enables sensitivities up to ISO 25600 and continuous shooting rates of up to 50 fps with an electronic shutter and 12 fps with a mechanical shutter. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity makes it easy to control and transfer photos to your mobile devices and a variety of 4K PHOTO modes leverage the power of 4K video to provide another method to capture fast action.

20.1MP 1″ High Sensitivity MOS Sensor

The FZ2500 features a large 20.1MP 1″ High Sensitivity MOS Sensor that allows for high-resolution still images and 4K video recording. It offers native sensitivity up to ISO 12800, with the option to expand it to ISO 25600. The sensor’s speed is impressive, supporting up to 50 fps using an electronic shutter or 12 fps with a mechanical shutter. This flexibility enables seamless switching between recording 4K movies and capturing still photos. Additionally, users can extract 8MP screen grabs from 4K movies directly in-camera, facilitating a versatile hybrid workflow.

Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 20x Optical Zoom f/2.8-4.5 Lens

Taking the Panasonic Lumix FZ2500 into the bridge camera realm is the far-reaching Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 20x optical zoom lens. This optic features a wide-angle to super telephoto 24-480mm equivalent zoom range, which makes it easy to capture both wide landscapes and distant subjects with equal ease. A variable f/2.8-4.5 maximum aperture keeps the camera’s size to a minimum while a 9-blade diaphragm helps create smooth bokeh. The lens construction consists of 16 elements in 11 groups, incorporating five aspherical lenses with a total of eight aspherical surfaces, four ED elements, and one UHR lens. This sophisticated design effectively reduces aberrations, resulting in enhanced sharpness and contrast for optimal image quality.

DCI 4K Video Recording

The FZ2500 boasts standout features, including top-tier DCI 4K video recording. It offers options like UHD 4K, frame rates (29.97p, 23.98p, 24.00p, 25p), and a high bit rate (100 Mbps). Full HD excels too, with frame rates of 59.94p, 50p, and 200 Mbps for detailed shots. A Creative Video Mode allows various frame rates, from 2 fps to 120 fps for slow motion. High-end video features include CINELIKE D and CINELIKE V profiles, with an optional V-Log L upgrade. HDMI output delivers 4:2:2 10-bit signal and time code. A custom video GUI enhances usability, and 3.5mm jacks enable external microphones and monitoring. The FZ2500 has no time recording limits and a built-in ND filter for exposure control.

4K PHOTO Capabilities

Besides video, the 4K capabilities also permit recording 8MP stills at 30 fps in a trio of ways:

4K Burst: Just as with video recording, this mode will allow you to continuously record 8MP images at 30 fps for up to 15 minutes, making it ideal for instances where you need a fast frame rate in order to capture the best moment.
4K Pre-Burst: This mode is ideal for times when you’re unsure of the critical moment to press the shutter button and will record 8MP images at 30 fps one second prior to and one second after pressing the shutter button in order to give you 60 frames to choose from.
4K Burst (S/S): This mode most closely follows the 4K video recording process, and allows you to playback your video, pause at the chosen moment, and use the shutter button to mark a chosen frame from the video and save it as a single 8MP frame.

Post Focus and Focus Stacking

Another attribute of the 4K capabilities is a unique focusing method called Post Focus. This function records imagery as a 4K MP4 file at 30 fps and shifts the specific point of focus throughout the burst shooting in order to offer a range of distinct focusing ranges to choose from. During playback, via the camera’s touchscreen, you can then tap the specific region of the image you wish to be in focus and an 8MP JPEG file will be created. Multiple individual files with different points of focus can be created from the original burst, and focusing assist functions can also be used to gain even more precise control over the specific in-focus region.

A built-in focus stacking feature lets you program the capture of a sequence of photos with shifting focus. The 5-axis HYBRID O.I.S.+ is designed to reduce camera shake during HD movie recording. It is an advanced image stabilization system that effectively minimizes blur in one-handed video shooting. This technology specifically targets five types of camera shake that commonly occur during dynamic movements and recording while on the move. By compensating for these shake types, it ensures smoother and more stable video footage.
