Panasonic DMC-ZR1R Olympic Winter Games Camera

So it is Olympics time again and the little countdown logo present in the corner of your TV has struck to zero. Your favorite TV series are still to be aired in March and you’re stuck with watching athletes compete. Now if you ask if what camera would be good to bring at the Winter Olympics, the Panasonic DMC-ZR1R is definitely on the list.

This compact camera uses a Venus Engine V to process the pictures to create beautiful images and multi-tasks to provide continuous shooting. The LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens has 8x optical zoom and is a 25mm wide angle lens. This allows users to get a good shot even from afar (especially during events like these) and be able to capture a wider scope. The continuous autofocus and subject detection features of the camera is very handy for fast moving objects since it automatically focuses on the subject even if you’re not pressing the shutter halfway. So when the right time comes, you just have to press the shutter and you now get a clear still frame of a fast paced action. Face detection with face recognition automatically adjusts the exposure of the camera so that the face is always visible as well as scenery outdoors where the snow and the sun can tend to be too bright. At night, users have the problem of getting a crisp but dark shot or a bright but shaky shot. With the Power O.I.S. (optical image stabilizer), up to 1/2 second hand shake correction can be done so images come out bright and clear even without a tripod.

The Panasonic DMC-ZR1R is an official Olympic Winter Games product with a special edition model bearing the event’s logo in front.
