9.1-megapixel blue Lumix digital camera

Two choices for preserving every detail of every memory. First, capture high-detail 9.1-megapixel still shots backed by a 2.33" CCD image sensor, a 28mm LEICA wide-angle lens with 10x optical zoom, and wide variety of shot-enhancing technologies, including Face Recognition, Optical Image Stabilization and Intelligent Exposure. Second, use high-definition (1280 x 720), 30 fps motion-image recording to document that timeless-moment in stunning hi-def.

Portable, stunning High-Definition video

Hey, there's no doubt — your Lumix DMC-TZ5's 9.1-megapixel still images deliver the clarity and details you're looking for. However, sometimes what you're experiencing is more than a moment, and you need motion images, not still images, to really capture the memory. Record your own high-definition, 1280 x 720 motion images right on the DMC-TZ5 at 30 frames-per-second. Back at home after a day of shooting, use the optional component video cable (DWN-HDC2) to connect the DMC-TZ5 directly to your HDTV and enjoy your video and your memories in hi-def.

Delight in the details

Don't let even the tiniest detail of that special moment slip away. With its 9.1 megapixel resolution, the DMC-TZ5 digital camera from Panasonic gives you the ability to preserve detailed, life-like memories with the simple push of a button. A 2.33" 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 10x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom can be combined with or without Extra Optical Zoom modes to achieve 40x or 66.8x digital zoom powers — compose sharp, clear shots of subjects both near and far.

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.

Five! shot-enhancing technologies

Take every shot with confidence. Intelligent Auto mode places five technologies under your control that help you snap shots free of common shooting-errors. Intelligent Exposure corrects lighting differences so images come out just the way you see them. The DMC-TZ5'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-TZ5 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-TZ5's 9.1 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-TZ5 — 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-TZ5's wide 3.0" 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-TZ5 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-TZ5'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-TZ5's High-Speed Burst mode. You just got a whole lot better at catching that perfect action shot.

Special travel functions for the perfect trip

The Clipboard allows you to take photos of maps, timetables, and other travel info. These images are saved in a separate folder of the DMC-TZ5's 27MB 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 function. 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.
