Every time that you head out into the field on a photographic adventure, your needs are different. Subjects, light conditions, distance — anything and everything can be different. Why not embark equipped with a camera as flexible as shooting conditions are variable? Presenting the DMC-LZ8 digital camera from Panasonic. Giving you the ability and the tools to match every situation, the DMC-LZ8 offers a choice of four exposure modes: Program AE (P), Aperture Priority AE (A), Shutter Priority AE (S) and Manual (M). This gives you the flexibility and creative freedom to capture more expressive shots. You can also fine tune the settings in the Scenery, Portrait, Sports and Night Portrait scene modes on the mode dial to better suit the shooting conditions. This makes it easier to capture the exact image you have in mind.
Delight in the details
Don't let even the tiniest detail of that special moment slip away. With its 8.1 megapixel resolution, the DMC-LZ8 digital camera from Panasonic gives you the ability to preserve detailed, life-like memories with the simple push of a button. A 2.5" CCD image sensor captures crisp, clear images in high resolution, and helps reveal a full range of expressive color and detail in every shot. A 5x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom can be combined with or without Extra Optical Zoom modes to achieve 20x or 36.5x digital zoom powers — compose sharp, clear shots of subjects both near and far.
32mm Wide-Angle Lens with 5x Optical Zoom
With both a 32mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens and a 5x zoom, the DMC-LZ8 does it all. You can fit more in the photo than you can with a 35mm lens, so you can get more of a sweeping landscape in a single shot.
Four! shot-enhancing technologies
Take every shot with confidence. Intelligent Auto mode places four technologies under your control that help you snap shots free of common shooting-errors. The DMC-LZ8's broad list of Scene modes — including Portrait, Soft Skin, Scenery, Sports, Night Portrait, Self-Portrait, Food, Party, Candle Light, Fireworks, Snow, and Sunset — might seem daunting, but the Intelligent Scene Selector makes things easy by choosing the mode that best fits each situation for you. When the excitement of the shot makes you a little unsteady, MEGA Optical Image Stabilization reduces blurring caused by hand shake. Motion blur that might otherwise occur when shooting moving subjects is reduced by Intelligent ISO Control. Finally, when you're taking pictures of friends and family, Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing focus and exposure settings.
Whoa, steady now . . . One more word on O.I.S.
Get ready to bid camera-shake blur adieu. Whether you enjoy shooting pristine landscapes, wildlife, sports or candid moments at gatherings with friends, the excitement of the shot can get to even the most seasoned of photographers, putting even just a teeny shake in an otherwise steady hand. The unfortunate result? Blurry memories and fuzzy moments. Enter Panasonic's MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer, featured on the DMC-LZ8 digital camera. A built-in gyrosensor detects any hand movement during a shot, and then sends a signal to the camera's microcomputer. After calculating the necessary compensation, the microcomputer shifts the optical image stabilizer to guide the incoming light from the subject directly and cleanly to the CCD image sensor. Your get all of your DMC-LZ8's 8.1 megapixels devoted to sharp, clear detail and not to blur and fuzz.
Composing, reviewing, and sharing each shot is easy
Many digital cameras — including your new DMC-LZ8 — use an LCD screen on the back of the camera as the viewfinder for composing shots. By automatically adjusting its brightness as ambient light conditions change, the DMC-LZ8's wide 2.5" LCD screen gives you a clear view of each shot you compose, and is ideal for reviewing shots right after you've taken them, or for sharing images with friends.
Worry about the shot, not the settings
It's a partly cloudy day, and sunlight and shade are alternating over the soccer field where your child is playing in the championship game. After stealing the ball, your son or daughter is on a breakaway up the field on a course to make the game-winning goal. Don't miss all the action by fumbling with manual aperture and shutter-speed controls as you try to keep up with the changing light conditions. Your new DMC-LZ8 features Program Auto Exposure, automatically calculating the combination of aperture and shutter-speed settings that will give you a properly exposed shot. Spend more time cheering and snap the perfect photo for the after-game celebration.
A professional technique made automatic
Seasoned and novice photographers, alike, use a technique called bracketing both as a learning tool and to help guarantee that they don't miss the perfect shot. Bracketing is simple — photographers simply take three or four photographs in succession, slightly changing the exposure settings for each shot to ensure that the right exposure is given. The DMC-LZ8's Auto Bracketing mode automatically takes multiple pictures with a single press of the shutter, each using a different exposure. Review all the images after the shot and keep the best one.
Don't let fast subjects slow you down
Whether it's a break-away play at your child's hockey game, or wildlife darting through the trees, fast-moving subjects usually don't give you a chance to take more than one shot. Take between 2.5 and 10 shots-per-second (depending on resolution) with the DMC-LZ8's High-Speed Burst mode. You just got a whole lot better at catching that perfect action shot.
