Key Features

25mm wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 12x optical zoom
The TZ10 packs a LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 12x optical zoom into a compact body. This versatile photographic tool lets you shoot everything from sweeping vistas at the 25mm wide-angle setting to dynamic 300mm telephoto shots. And the lens system's exquisite rendering ability lets you capture even the subtle nuances of the sights and scenes in your travels.

AVCHD Lite
The TZ10 records HD motion images with 1280 x 720-pixel resolution while zooming in and out. It uses the AVCHD Lite (MPEG-4/H.264), which achieves higher image quality and stores less data than the conventional Motion JPEG. You can also use the iA mode to shoot motion images, and let the camera do all the work for you. This user-friendly mode automatically selects the most suitable Scene mode and helps correct blurring, focus and brightness problems. All you do is aim and shoot. iA is the easy way to capture beautiful HD movies.

Intelligent Auto (iA)
Just set the camera to iA mode, aim and shoot. The camera does the rest, automatically activating seven detection and correction functions. These include:

MEGA O.I.S. - helps prevent blurring due to shaky hands

Intelligent ISO Control - helps prevent blurring caused by subject motion.

Intelligent Scene Selector - selects the optimal scene mode for the situation.

Intelligent Exposure - adjusts the brightness of dark areas in the image.

Face Detection AF/AE - helps deliver clear portraits.

AF Tracking - locks the focus onto your moving subject.

Face Recognition in iA Mode
iA mode now includes Face Recognition, a function that "remembers" registered faces. When there's a familiar face in the frame, it optimizes the focus and exposure so that the face is in sharp focus and bright. This newly evolved technology makes it easy to get beautiful photos of a loved one in a group of people.
  
3.0" LCD Screen
The TZ10 incorporates an easy-to-see, large, 3.0-inch 460,000-dot high-resolution LCD for comfortable viewing while both monitoring shots and playing back the results. The Intelligent LCD function detects the light condition and automatically boosts the LCD backlighting by max. 40% when shooting outdoors in bright sunshine, and adjusts the frame rate when shooting in low-lit situations.

Venus Engine HD
The imaging power of LUMIX has evolved even further. Improved circuitry greatly reduces picture noise while preserving exceptional resolution, sharpness and color reproduction. The Venus Engine HD boasts two CPUs which achieve the long-time HD motion picture recording in AVCHD Lite (MPEG-4/H.264) while maintaining low power consumption.

HDMI Output and Viera Link
The TZ10 is equipped with an HDMI output terminal for direct transmission of digital image and sound signals. Just connect the camera t
