That's not a misprint. I took this with the Lumix FZ1000 at ISO 400 using the Intelligent Zoom feature,

which enables you to extend maximum zoom from 400 to 1124mm. Extension depends on reducing JPEGs from the native 20.1MP to 10MP, with minimal effect on image quality. You can go farther than that, if you further reduce resolution, but I doubt I'll do that. I like what I'm getting. This image was minimally processed in Photoshop Elements 11:

Excellent. At that zoom you must have had a steady tripod or something.

 

Thanks for the nice comment. No tripod. I sat in a chair, rested my left elbow on the arm and relied on the 5-axis image stabilization to further steady the camera. This even works with my Canon 40D plus 200mm f2.8L + EF 2X teleconverter (640mm effective) with no image stabilization available.

Tom,

 

this is a surprising and delightful shot with just the right timing. Your information about the camera + processing is the proof that pictures are being made by a photographer who knows to handle his tool whatever camera it is.Fine work.
