Panasonic showed a prototype of a planned 3D Lumix camera in September 2011 , saying that it would have twin 4x zoom lenses with folding optics and optical image stabilization for both video and still images . In November 2015 , Panasonic released a free firmware update for its Lumix G7 , GX8 and FZ300 cameras .
