The Lumix DMC FZ5 bridges are very compact and efficient. Each equipped with sensors 5 megapixels and a 12x stabilized zoom (36 to 432 mm) with an opening F2.8/3.3. The Leica lens is signed and provides superb images. Moreover, the embedded electronics in the Z5 including the "Venus Engine II" give better results than many of Panasonic's competitors. Noise is well managed, the responsiveness is excellent and developing accurate and fast. Easy to use, these lumix are designed for both beginners to amateurs who will have the choice between 9 programmed exposure modes and amateurs who will have direct access to Aperture priority mode, shutter speed priority or manual. The Venus Engine ll engine is the brain of digital camera, driving high picture quality and quick camera response. Panasonic has achieved great improvements in both resolution and response compared with the performance of previous Venus Engine. In the previous Venus Engine, the luminance signal was extracted from all RGB pixels to improve the diagonal resolution by 50%. In addition to that, the Venus Engine II gains a new imaging process that adds the luminance signal extracted only from the G pixels upon detecting the horizontal/vertical lines in the image. This results in the improvement of the horizontal and vertical resolution by more than 10% compared with the former Venus Engine, while maintaining the 50% improvement in the diagonal resolution.
The multitask image-processing LSI realizes outstanding response with an industry-leading shutter-release time lag of 0.008 seconds minimum and a shutter interval of approximately 0.4 seconds (not including time for AF), achieving more stress-free operation. It also boasts high consecutive shooting performance, providing shooting at 3 frames per second at full resolution. The Unlimited Consecutive Shooting function allows limit-free consecutive shooting up to the capacity of the memory card or built-in memory. The number of recordable picture depends on the memory card size, battery life, picture size, and compression.
