Compact and lightweight, the Panasonic DMC-LZ5 Digital Camera is great for both the beginner and experienced photographer. The DMC-LZ5 boasts a CCD with an effective pixel count of 6.0 megapixels, and offers an incredible 6x optical zoom, Panasonic's high-performance Venus Engine Plus LSI makes the camera very responsive wit a burst capability of 3 fps, and a super fast shutter lag of 0.005 seconds. The camera also provides a high quality Video mode with sound, and the ability to shoot panoramic 16:9 aspect ratio images..
6.0 Megapixel Resolution
With a resolution of 6.0 Megapixels, you'll be able to produce high resolution images that can yield photo quality 16 x 20" prints.
6x Optical Zoom Lens
The DMC-LZ5 is equipped with a 6x optical zoom (equivalent to a 37mm - 222mm zoom on a 35 mm film camera) lens, while keeping the body size as compact as ordinary 3x zoom cameras. The 6x zoom ratio can be extended up to 8.3x in the 3-Megapixel image recording mode thanks to the Extra Optical Zoom function with minimal deterioration, by intentionally using the central part of the CCD. This powerful zooming function allows you not only to easily capture and magnify subjects in distant locations, but also to take impressionable photos with soft-focused backgrounds. In addition, the zoom lens features the pinnacle of Panasonic's optics technology, with eight elements in seven groups including two aspherical lenses, which are used to achieve compactness and higher optical performance.
MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer
The MEGA O.I.S (Optical Image Stabilizer) feature offsets unintentional hand movement while you're taking pictures to give you clear, sharp images even when taking handheld telephoto shots or shooting at night. This optical technology provides precise compensation for movement with no image quality degradation.
Stunning High-Speed AF in a Slim Body
Select the AF setting from Spot, 1-point (normal or high-speed), 3-point high-speed, and 5-point. The 1-point normal setting solves the "image-freezing" that used to happen while focusing on fast-moving subjects, and makes them easier to track. Furthermore, the 1-point high-speed mode slashes conventional AF time; plus, the AF Assist Lamp helps when focusing in low lighting.
Record High Quality Moving Images
Record beautiful full-size movies with sound in VGA resolution at 30 fps (requires SD Memory Card), and you'll get enhanced picture quality - not only in the resolution but also in the overall brightness level of the video image. A built-in speaker lets you enjoy playing back movies with audio on the large LCD anytime, anywhere.
Auto Angle Detection
Auto angle detection records whether an image was taken horizontally or vertically. This ensures that when playing back on the LCD monitor or displaying images on your TV by connecting your Lumix Digital Camera with an A/V cable, vertical images are automatically displayed vertically and horizontal images are automatically displayed horizontally.
High Sensitivity Mode (up to ISO 1600)
In a dark setting or when the subject is moving, shooting at a faster shutter speed is required for truly great results. That's why this digital camera offers a High Sensitivity Mode. When combined with OIS, this remarkable shooting mode allows you to shoot at up to ISO1600. And that means stop-action clarity in nearly any situation.
