Taking Hand-Shake Out of the Picture
MEGA O.I.S.
Jitter from shaky hands is far and away the biggest single cause of blurry shots.
LUMIX cameras help solve this problem with an advanced optical image stabilising
system that we call MEGA O.I.S. This system uses built-in gyrosensors to detect
even tiny camera movement and then shifts a lens in the opposite direction to
compensate. The system is completely optical - it does not affect the CCD or image
processing - so you get sharp, clear images without deterioration. It lets you reduce
the shutter speed more than 3 steps below* the conventionally accepted
hand-shake limit, which is calculated as 1/focal length (1 divided by the focal
length). It helps achieve high-quality images in a wide range of shooting conditions
such as telephoto, macro or low illumination; for situations from
spur-of-the-moment shots, to self-portraits, or capturing images outdoors at night.

Reducing Blur Caused by a Subject Moving
INTELLIGENT ISO CONTROL
FZ50, LX2, FX50, and FX07 feature the world's first* "Intelligent ISO Control" in
ISO sensitivity setting, which uses a circuit within Venus Engine III to detect
movement within the frame and helps you get blur-free shots by automatically
adjusting the ISO sensitivity (up to ISO 800) and shutter speed according to how
much the subject is moving. This helps you freeze unpredictable moving subjects,
and catch decisive moments that happen all of a sudden.

High Sensitivity Shooting for Less Motion Blur
Models with the Venus Engine III provide up to ISO 1600* at full resolution, minimising
motion blur to capture clear shots with low-noise. The Scene mode features a High
Sensitivity Mode** for shooting at even higher shutter speeds.

*FZ50 and LX2. Up to ISO 1250 in the
FX50 and FX07, and ISO 800 in the TZ1. **Not provided on the LS2. Note that resolution is significantly lower in this mode.
