Just get a better result by increasing the strength of the 32.1 x zoom with Extra Optical Zoom function * 2 In addition, a wide-angle 27mm ideal for both when shooting landscapes, as well as shooting in confined spaces, because it allows the frame to cover a wider stage. Pictures with a resolution of 10.1 megapixels can be printed in high magnification, while maintaining their exceptional detail, or to edit, consisting of framing and magnifying selected parts of the prints.
were further improved Intelligent Auto Mode (iA). Introduced to the mechanism of AF Tracking, which automatically tracks the image object from the time of auto focus, even if the object moves in the frame. Makes it easy to capture sharp, clear photographs captured the most important moments.

-Mega OIS (Optical image stabilizer) - gyros detect hand-shake and make the appropriate shift lens unit bridging vibrations. This is to avoid blurry images resulting from shaky hands.
-Intelligent ISO control - thanks to this feature, the Lumix DMC-FZ28 is able to adjust the ISO sensitivity if the subject moves while shooting, to avoid blurring the shot.
-Quick AF - fast AF mechanism makes the focus begins at the time the camera could target object, which shortens the time needed to perform this operation.
-Digital Red Eye Correction - a feature that helps eliminate red-eye problem, which appears occasionally in the case of shots with the flash.
DMC-FZ28 uses a fast, powerful processor for image processing called the Venus Engine IV. The high-speed shooting mode * 3 DMC-FZ28 performed 13 shots per second. By contrast, in high sensitivity mode, it is possible to produce high quality shots at ISO of up to 6400 and a minimum illumination .* 4 Improvements in power management system introduced by the new center makes a charge battery is enough to do with the DMC-FZ28 approximately 450 shots (CIPA).
manual settings on the camera Lumix DMC-FZ28 is more comprehensive than previous models, a fixed positioning of controls. This allows manual adjustment of parameters is now easier and more intuitive.

DMC-FZ28 offers a host of other features which enhance the photographic opportunities, including allowing a stronger flash illuminate distant objects, the color temperature chart to facilitate a more precise definition of white balance, color bracket function, and new scene modes - aperture (pin hole), and film grain (Film Grain), which create effects similar to those familiar with the camera film. There is also a leveling shots and other facilities to be applied after the shooting.
