Product description

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4K 8.1-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black

Features

8.1 megapixels: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4K digital camera gives you more megapixels to take better pictures. This 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.

Powerful zoom: The powerful 10x optical zoom brings you much closer to your subject—without sacrificing image quality. The 4x digital zoom picks up where optical zoom leaves off, stretching pixels to make the image look bigger.

Wide-angle lens: Made by one of the most respected camera companies in the world, this Leica DC Vario-Elmar 28mm lens captures more than a normal lens—you can get a sweeping landscape in a single shot.

Intelligent LCD screen: This large, 2.5" 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 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.

Special travel functions: The Clipboard allows you to take photos of maps, timetables and other travel info, which are then saved in a separate folder to distinguish them from normal photos. You can even input your departure date and destination with the Travel Date setting and the camera will automatically tell you on which day of the trip each shot was taken and the location.

Burst shooting: Shoot at speeds of up to 10 frames per second—great for capturing an action sequence.

Memory: This digital camera comes with 27MB of internal memory. Get the most out of your camera by adding an optional SD/SDHC or MMC memory card.

Manufacturer's description

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4K 8.1-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, Panasonic's DMC-TZ4 Lumix® 8.1-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 15.9x, giving you even greater telephoto power.*

*In 3-megapixel resolution mode.

Intelligent Auto Mode Helps Get Great Shots in Any Situation


Set the TZ4 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 2.5" LCD with Intelligent LCD Function
With a total of 230,000 dots, the big, bright 2.5" 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.

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.

My experience with IA and zoom was poor
Reviewer: Ysage from Houston, Tx on Jun 1, 2008
63 out of 90 found this review helpful

Was originally very excited about this camera. I wanted a good Optical zoom and high MP. The intelligent auto feature was appealing and got good reviews when I was researching the 'TZ#' family of Panasonic cameras before choosing the TZ4. I looked at theTZ5 in stores and was impressed during demo. I took a few pictures after purchase and was happy. First important use was my sons HS graduation. I used the intelligent auto feature and was very disappointed. Out of 25 shots, 20 were blury. I was zoomed inat 10x most of the time. Most looked fine on the display but when viewed on the computer, they were poor. The stabilizer feature was on, but did not seem to perform well in this experience. I was expecting a mini usb connection for the PC and found that it is something else, even smaller. I am a novice photographer and have only used simple point-n-shoot cameras in the past and get good results. I was expecting better out of this advanced camera. Am taking it back to the store.

Takes some time to get used to auto intelligent feature
Reviewer: Stacy from Virginia on Jun 8, 2008
14 out of 14 found this review helpful

If you know how to use the 'auto' feature on the camera it takes great pictures even with max zoom. You have to be patient and hold down the button until the picture appears clear in the view finder, then take the picture. It can be a pain, but the pictures turn out great. I love how it has an 'intelligent' feature, where it trys to guess what you are doing, it takes some time to get used to, but it makes point and shoot really east. I am really happy with my camera, and I am so glad I bought it.
