Panasonic's Lumix DMC-ZS10 Digital Camera (Silver) just might be the ultimate traveler's camera--it's got a high resolution 14.1MP MOS sensor, a super zoom 16x ultra wide-angle 24-384mm (equivalent in 35mm format) Leica lens and full 1920 x 1080 60i high definition video with stereo sound.
This compact (4.1 x 2.2 x 1.3"/10.4 x 5.7 x 3.3 cm) and lightweight (6.9 oz/197o g) camera also has built-in GPS for geo-tagging your pictures, displaying the location from any of the more than 1,000,000 landmarks included. Power O.I.S. image stabilization keeps everything sharp and clear, and Intelligent ISO control/motion detection, AF tracking for moving subjects, and touch-screen operation of focus, exposure, AF tracking, zoom, and manual operation make this one of the easiest cameras ever to use.
There's also high-speed consecutive shooting up to 10fps at full 14.1MP resolution, Sonic Speed AF and Short Release Time Lag for stunningly fast operation. A 3D photo mode lets you explore the 3D world with your photos, a panorama assist puts together photos in-camera for an impressive, ultra wide panoramic photo, and the Handheld Night Shot mode allows you to take gorgeous photos at night--without a tripod! The large, bright 3" 460K-dot LCD makes composing and viewing your images a treat. The ZS10 is ready when you are.
- 24mm Ultra Wide-angle 16x Optical Zoom LEICA DC Lens
- The compact, versatile lens system is the hallmark of LUMIX ZS series and now this lens system is totally redeveloped for the DMC-ZS10 in both optical and mechanical design. The new high-quality LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens system is even more versatile with 24mm ultra wide-angle to powerful 16x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 24-384mm). Comprising 12 elements in 10 groups, including an ED lens and 3 aspherical lenses with 6 aspherical surfaces, this advanced lens unit suppresses chromatic aberration which tends to occur in telephoto shooting effectively. It also boasts a short total length of lens unit despite its higher versatility with longer zoom range, which is made possible by a development of new mechanism for a structure of lens barrel. The lens system is also compatible with high shutter speed of 1/4,000 sec.
- 14.1-Megapixel MOS Sensor
- The new 14.1-megapixel MOS sensor integrated in the DMC-ZS10 boasts high speed signal output and high sensitivity image recording for making many advanced features possible. It also enables the camera to record full HD 60i (NTSC) smooth movie. For the effective concentration of light, the newly developed sensor adopts microfabrication technology to achieve even higher sensitivity. With an advanced micro light tube structure, both color mixture and signal loss are prevented. The result is that the photo and movie shot at any sensitivity from low to high have outstanding clearness. Furthermore, optimization of semiconductor production process achieves dramatic suppression of noise. Together with the picture parameter setting suitable for the MOS sensor, the stunningly clear image rendered by the DMC-ZS10 boasts high picture quality with minimum noise.
- High-Speed Movie at 220fps in QVGA Size
- This function lets you record high-speed movies at 220 frames per second in QVGA size (320 x 240 pixels). That means you can capture the moment the soccer ball finds the net. Or the moment that a tennis racket strikes the ball. You can even capture scenes that can't be seen with the naked eye, and play them back in dramatic slow motion.
- Intelligent Resolution Technology
- The advanced image processing technology "Intelligent Resolution*" is incorporated in the Venus Engine FHD for the DMC-ZS10(TZ20). With the Intelligent Resolution technology, 3 areas - outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation areas - are automatically detected and optimum signal processes are performed to each area. Apart from the uniform enhancement of sharpness, the innovative technology Intelligent Resolution precisely performs signal processing pixel by pixel in the most effective way for it. As a result, images are naturally clear and crisp in both photo and movie recording.
- Built-in GPS (Global Positioning System)
- With the DMC-ZS10, it is possible to use the GPS (Global Positioning System) function to record data on the shooting location. You can view images for each geographical location by using the included software PHOTOfunSTUDIO 6.1 HD Lite Edition to manage the images by date and location.
- POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) with Active Mode
- For more effective countermeasure against blur, the Active Mode is newly equipped with the DMC-ZS10 for an option of image stabilization in movie recording. In addition to the conventional POWER O.I.S., the Active Mode effectively suppress blur in movie recording especially at wide angle while walking or playing with your children. In addition, it's an optical system so there's no image degradation. It's especially good for active movie shooting.
- Large, 3" 460,000-dot High-resolution LCD
- The DMC-ZS10's large 3" LCD features a high 460,000-dot resolution, and a wide-viewing angle that lets you frame your shot in a variety of ways for both shooting and viewing.The big screen reflects fine details, making it easy to check the focus before shooting. It also serves as a small photo and video viewer, allowing you and friends to enjoy viewing the still and motion images together.
- 3D Photo Mode
- The 3D Photo Mode produces a 3D image in the camera. The image-processing method used by LUMIX records beautiful images with less distortion or visible image links. Take 20 panning shots and the camera automatically selects the two most suitable images - one for the right eye and one for the left eye - to synthesize a 3D composite. The 3D image can be viewed on a VIERA HDTV. The 3D image format is compatible with MPO, so it can be played back on other MPO-compatible equipment such as TVs and digital photo frames, or printed.
