Enjoy excellent low-light performance with a large 1/2.5-inch sensor and bright F1.8 lens. The remarkable LEICA Dicomar lens produces the subtle nuances and shading that LEICA lenses are renowned for. Capture stunningly beautiful memories even in dimly lit locations. The V800's impressive lens covers the range from 25mm wide-angle to 600mm tele with a 24x zoom achieved by a 4-Drive Lens System. The stunning wide-angle setting not only fits large groups of people and background images into narrow locations, but is also convenient for taking selfies with a rotatable LCD.
The HC-V800 features a 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S.+ stabilizer that uses five-axis correction to thoroughly suppress blurring all the way from wide-angle to powerful zoom shots, an Adaptive O.I.S system which automatically optimizes the O.I.S. effectiveness by adjusting the O.I.S. mechanical control to various shooting positions, conditions, and user characteristics, and a Ball O.I.S. System that reduces wear on the drive section, and greatly improves correction for small-amplitude hand-shake.
Active Contrast automatically equalizes the gradation in response to the brightness distribution within the image and also improves contrast in the low brightness areas of dark and back-lit scenes, and avoids blocked shadows. The V800 also offers slow motion video, wireless multi camera to link to up to three smartphones and simultaneously record up to two of them as sub-windows, and an HDR Movie mode for difficult shooting situations such as backlighting.
