Panasonic achieved the world's first incorporation of 0.3mm super thin aspherical lens, mold and mass production is difficult, into the lens unit. This makes it possible to fit the 25-200mm high performance lens in astonishing slim and compact body. Inheriting the fine rendering and outstanding quality of the Leica Elmar lens, this easy-to-carry camera delivers beautiful pictures any time, any place.The DMC-ZX1 sports a powerful 8x optical zoom lens (35mm film camera equivalent: 25-200mm). This gives you highly natural expressions from people and animals that you can't get close to. It also lets you zoom in when taking movies. And its slim, compact, pocket-sized body can easily go wherever you do - for both everyday snapshots and traveling.The Extra Optical Zoom uses the center of the CCD to further extend the powerful 8x optical zoom when a resolution of less than 12.1-megapixel is used. This extends the zoom ratio up to 15.6x (35mm film camera equivalent: 390mm) for images with 3-megapixel resolution or less. Adding the Extra Optical Zoom to the 4x digital zoom extends the total zooming power to a maximum of 62.5x (35mm film camera equivalent: 1,563mm).The DMC-ZX1 lets you snap off consecutive shots at approx. 2.3 frames per second in full resolution. You can take a series of shots, then choose the one you like the best and delete the rest. You can also select high-speed Burst mode or Flash Burst mode from Scene mode.
