• 18.1MP high sensitivity MOS sensor
  The 18.1MP high sensitivity MOS sensor delivers high quality images from even difficult lighting situations. The ZS40 boasts high-speed signal output and high sensitivity image recording. The superior noise reduction system in the Venus Engine enables deliberate noise reduction, without missing low-frequency noise, in the large detection area in high sensitivity image recording.
• Control ring
  Manual control is easy to do with the control ring. You'll be empowered with direct, intuitive control over frequently used settings like zooming, aperture, shutter speed, and Creative Control filters. Manual focusing is also available with smooth Control Ring operation.
• Manual focus / focus peaking
  For more precise control over focusing, the ZS40 incorporates focus peaking that shows the peak of focus in MF mode. You can see the peak of focus while monitoring the subject in live view, and take advantage of this function when controlling the camera with a smartphone / tablet via Wi-Fi for both photo and video recording.

  Record high-resolution Full-HD 1920x1080 / 60p videos in AVCHD Progressive or MPEG-4 format. With progressive Full HD video recording, subjects with fast motion or fine details are reproduced even more clearly.
• Stereo microphone
  Along with a stereo zoom microphone, the videos incorporate the high-quality stereo sound of Dolby Digital, offering highly realistic sound to your videos. Mechanical noise caused by zooming is suppressed to improve the clarity of sound, and the Auto Wind Cut function blocks out most of the noise from background wind automatically making the human voices stand out.
