Hey, there's no doubt — your 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
