LUMIX FZ300: a bridge between compact and DSLR cameras made for adventure

When you are looking to pair the ease of a compact camera with the breathtaking photographic results of a more complex DSLR-style model, you’ll find everything you are hoping for in the latest addition to our highly-acclaimed LUMIX FZ Series cameras.

The FZ300 is an ideal ‘bridge’ between these two desires, offering an extraordinary LEICA lens with 24x zoom built into a weatherproof and DSLR-style body, along with a raft of high-end LUMIX features designed to deliver superior control and creativity, for stunning photographic results.

High-quality LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens

At the heart of the FZ300’s allure is an outstanding LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens, with a constant F2.8 aperture and a powerful 24x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent 25-600mm) to deliver spur of the moment shots from distant to close-range subjects with excellent image quality. Vital when shooting at high zoom, the FZ300 also offers 5-Axis HYBRID Optical Image Stabilisation Plus * to supress handshake vibration and help you capture clear, sharp images.

Capture the moment (even when you don’t)

Not only does the FZ300 take stunning 4K Ultra HD video at 30fps but with 4K Photo technology, this camera also offers its users the invaluable ability to ‘time travel’ in order to be sure of capturing the perfect shot. For instance, in 4K Pre-burst mode, the camera uses buffering to capture one second before and after the shutter is pressed, at 30 frames per second. You then have 60 frames to select from to find the precise moment you wished to capture – whether your shutter finger was fast enough or not.

A body built for adventures in the field

We know that the FZ300 is going to be popular for field photography, so we’ve made it more adventure-ready with a ruggedly designed body. This tough camera is splash and dustproof, with sealings on every joint, dial, and button that pass the stringent test quality standards of our flagship mirrorless cameras. You can trust the LUMIX FZ300 for outdoor photography under harsh weather conditions from marshy jungles to windy deserts.

High-res viewfinder with free-angle touchscreen

Photographers are going to love the ease and versatility of the newly upgraded 1,440K-dot OLED LVF. It boasts 0.7x magnification and 10,000:1 high contrast for superior colour reproduction. Plus, the 3-inch free-angle 1,040K-dot touchscreen monitor makes it easy for you to set focus or enlarge the focus point with your fingertips.

Wi-Fi offers simple sharing and remote control

Convenient Wi-Fi features make it easy to control the camera remotely with your smartphone and provide instant image sharing. Simply download the ‘Panasonic Image App’ on your smart device and you’ll be able to view the image, set the focus, release the shutter from a distance or review photographs on the large screen of your phone or tablet. You can even share you favourite adventure shots in a flash, by drag-and-drop on social media.
