The PV-460, born as the world’s first*1 practical image stabilization technology, significantly improved video quality during handheld shooting and opened up new possibilities for video equipment. This innovative technological concept has become a standard feature in various video devices, including film cameras, digital cameras, and smartphones; LUMIX is, the prime example, and it serves as the foundation for the advanced image stabilization systems found in LUMIX cameras. Today’s LUMIX cameras achieve high-performance shooting for both stills and video through features such as “Dual I.S.”—which combines in-lens and in-body image stabilization—and advanced stabilization technologies for video recording. Underlying these technologies is the same vision that has guided development since the PV-460’s inception: “to deliver greater freedom of visual expression to more people.” Even today, as a pioneer in image stabilization, Panasonic continues to advance this technology every day. In Panasonic’s imaging devices—including the LUMIX series—image stabilization is incorporated into a wide range of models as a key feature that supports both detailed still photography and stable video recording, earning high praise from users who demand the highest quality in their photos and videos. In recent years, the shooting styles
