The DMC-ZX1 features a 25mm ultra wide-angle 8x optical zoom f/3.3-5.9 LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens. Panasonic achieved the world's first incorporation of 0.3mm super thin aspherical lens and industry first 0.3mm spherical lens into the newly developed lens unit. This makes it possible to fit the 25-200mm high performance lens in a slim and compact body. Furthermore, in 3-megapixel resolution, the extra optical zoom function provides additional magnification, extending the zoom power to 15.6x.To realize the ultra high-speed AF, a number of re-engineering and improvements are made including the adaptation of a higher-speed actuator, the optimization of algorithms and the parallelization of software processing element. The result is ultra high speed yet accurate AF performance for users to enjoy the airy shooting that has experienced never before. Panasonic also replaced its linear program processing with parallel processing to achieve an ultra high-speed start-up.One of the unique features of the DMC-ZX1 is the travel mode. From the top menu, you can quickly go into the mode and organize various information related to your travel such as destination, date, world time and so on. It's also easy to play back images by designating the date or period of travel on the calendar menu interface.
