Product description

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9.1-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black

Features

Untitled Document

9.1 megapixels: The advanced Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 digital camera takes photo-quality, 300dpi images up to 8" x 10", and good-quality 200dpi images up to 12" x 16". More megapixels give you more freedom to crop, edit, and enlarge favorite portions of your photos.

Zoom: The amazing 10x optical zoom brings you right up close to distant subjects—without sacrificing image quality. The 4x digital zoom picks up where optical zoom leaves off, stretching pixels to make the image look bigger.

Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens: Made by one of the most respected camera companies in the world, this wide-ranging Leica lens gives you great creative options. Fit sweeping landscapes into a single frame with the 28mm wide-angle setting, or capture subtle facial expressions from far away with the dynamic 280mm telephoto setting.

Intelligent LCD screen: This large, 3" high-resolution screen adjusts automatically as ambient light conditions change, so images are clear, bright and easy to see—day or night, indoors or out.

Optical image stabilizer: This camera automatically detects and compensates for hand vibration, steadying the the sensor and sharpening your image.

High ISO support: Able to shoot with a light sensitivity of ISO 1600 (6400 in auto mode), this camera can handle less than ideal lighting conditions. High ISO also means that the image sensor can handle short exposures to light, allowing fast shutter speeds that prevent blur due to camera shake or moving subjects.

Face detection: This camera identifies faces in a frame, then optimizes focus and exposure to ensure that all of your portraits look great.

Scene modes: Choose your mode, and this camera automatically adjusts settings such as shutter speed, color saturation, flash and focus to adapt to the situation. This camera features a wide variety of scene modes, including portrait, scenery, sports and more.

Intelligent Auto mode: Say good-bye to complicated settings. Just turn the dial to “iA” and the camera will not only help eliminate blurring from hand-shake or subject movement, but it will also detect faces and automatically select the focus, exposure and scene modes for the best results.

Manual control: Four exposure modes—Program AE, Aperture Priority AE, Shutter Priority AE and Manual—give you the flexibility and creative freedom to capture more expressive shots.

Burst shooting: Shoot at speeds of up to 2.5 frames per second—great for capturing an action sequence.

Shoot movies in HD: When a picture just can't tell the whole story, you can shoot 1280 x 720 pixel, widescreen movies in HD, at a smooth 30 frames per second.

Memory: This digital camera comes with 27MB of internal memory. Instantly add more memory by sliding in an optional SD/SDHC or MMC/MMC plus memory card (sold separately). How much memory do you need? Click here to find out.

Manufacturer's description

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9.1-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black

LEICA 28mm Wide-Angle Lens with 10x Optical Zoom
Now you can fit sweeping landscapes into a single frame with the 28mm wide-angle setting. Pull in subjects from far away to capture even subtle facial expressions with the dynamic 280mm telephoto setting. Ideal for traveling, the DMC-TZ5 Lumix® 9.1-megapixel digital camera combines a wide-ranging LEICA DC Vario-Elmar lens with a handy, compact body. The Extra Optical Zoom function also extends the zoom to as much as 16.9x, giving you even greater telephoto power.*

*In 3-megapixel resolution mode.

Intelligent Auto Mode Helps Get Great Shots in Every Situation


Set the TZ5 to iA mode and let the five Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Exposure corrects lighting differences, so images come out just the way you see them; Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings.

Big, Bright 3.0" LCD with Intelligent LCD Function
With a total of 460,000 dots, the big, bright 3.0" diagonal LCD makes viewing and shooting easier and more comfortable. The Intelligent LCD adjusts brightness automatically in 10 steps as the ambient light level changes, so images are clear, bright and easy to see day or night, indoors or outdoors.

30 fps High-Definition Motion Images and HD Output
The TZ5 can record motion images with sensational 1280 x 720 HD resolution at 30 frames per second (fps). You can use the zoom, too, and capture some truly dramatic shots. When you're done shooting for the day, just connect** the camera to an HDTV and you're ready to view your still shots and motion images in high-definition beauty.

**Optional component cable (DMW-HDC2) required.

Special Travel Functions for the Perfect Trip
The Clipboard allows you to take photos of maps, timetables and other travel info. They are saved in a separate folder of the built-in memory to distinguish them from normal photos. You can print titles and other characters on the photos you shoot with the Title Edit and Stamp. This is great for creating your own postcards from a vacation trip. Input your departure date and destination with the Travel Date Setting. Later, during photo viewing, the camera will indicate on which day of the trip each shot was taken and the location.

Great new product. Super versatility in this camera's features allow for use in most environments.

For the price, you get so much of what you would get with a full feature SLR, but with the convienience of a point-and-shoot instrument. The CC service was very helpful and time conscious. I had a problem with the camera case that was bundled with the camera on line and I was able to take it and get prompt satisfaction in the form of an appropriate replacement. No bother. A very good on-line exprerience
