        .gif)
NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
The latest in Panasonic’s fantastic travel zoom series, the Lumix DMC-TZ10 represents the ultimate feature set in a compact digital camera. Incorporating a 12.1 megapixel sensor and a powerful 25mm ultra wide-angle lens with 12x optical zoom it covers a whole range of shooting situations from broad landscapes, architecture and group shots, to zoom right in to distant subjects. The TZ10 features Power O.I.S. optical image stabilization to help achieve blur-free handheld shots as well as a built-in GPS for recording the exact geographic location of your shots for easy file management. With Intelligent Auto to help making taking great photos simple, a large high-resolution 3” LCD Screen with wide viewing angle and intelligent LCD for bright viewing even when you are shooting outdoors, and 720p High Definition movies in AVCHD Lite format, the Panasonic Lumix TZ10 is the pinnacle of compact travel cameras. And compatibility with the new generation of extended-capacity SDXC* memory cards will ensure you’ll have plenty of space to store your HD videos and still photos.
Movie Feature – captures High Definition video with audio 16:9 aspect ratio up to 1280 x 720p resolution at 30 frames per second.
GPS and optical zoom functions for movie recording.
Intelligent Auto, Editing, Scene Modes and Colour Modes are available for movies.
The length of recording time depends on the capacity of the SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card*. (Up to the equivalent of 2 GB per video recording.)
* We recommend using Class 4 or higher memory cards for AVCHD Lite HD video recording and Class 6 for Motion JPEG HD Video.
SDHC Memory Cards and SDXC Memory Cards can be used only in equipment that is compatible with their respective formats. If the computer being used does not support SDXC Memory Cards, a message prompting you to format may appear. (Doing so will cause recorded images to be erased so do not choose to format.) If the card is not recognized, please refer to the below support site.

What are the features and how will they benefit you? |
|
Dual Image Stabilisation – Power O.I.S. optical and digital technology works together to double the amount of correction as Mega O.I.S. to prevent blurred images due to shaky hands, subject movement, or when shooting in low-light conditions - important at full zoom where a small movement of the hand can cause a lot of movement at the other end.
Lumix 25mm Wide-Angle 12x Optical Zoom Lens – cover a wide range of shooting situations (25-300mm) from wide-angle to capture more in your image, to telephoto where you can zoom up close to very distant objects.
Built-in GPS - Allows accurate geographic locations to be displayed in real time & recorded for easy file management.
iA (Intelligent Auto) – Automatically adjusts your camera for a range of different shooting situations and includes such features as face detection, intelligent scene selection, intelligent ISO, motion detection, and Power O.I.S. image stabilisation - get great shots without having to fiddle around with menus, modes etc.
Face Detection AF/AE - detects and recognizes faces (up to 6) and automatically optimizes the focus and exposure settings. It prevents blurry faces that happen when the camera focuses on something in front of or behind the subject, and keeps faces from appearing dark when shooting indoors or against a light source.
460K 3” LCD Screen – High resolution screen with wide viewing angle, automatic brightness adjustment and anti-reflective coating. Great for outdoors use.
Venus Engine HD II – features twin CPU’s to enable fast processing of HD images and advanced noise reduction for better handling of image “noise” or grain.
Sonic Speed AF - has a maximum speed of approx. 0.35 second for auto focusing*. You can quickly get moving subjects in focus, such as when you're shooting sports scenes.
AF Tracking/Subject Detection - Once you focus on your subject, the AF Tracking automatically tracks it until you press the shutter, keeping moving subjects in focus – great for kids, pets, sports etc.
Motion Detection - detects subject movement and automatically adjusts the ISO setting and shutter speed to best suit the movement and light conditions – further helps prevent blurred shots.
Fast Start Up - ultra high-speed start-ups of approx. 1.28 seconds.
Less Shutter Lag - The shutter release time lag is as short as approx. 0.006 second, making it easy to capture sudden, spur-of-the-moment photo opportunities.
Auto Backlight Compensation - When there is strong backlighting, the background appears nice and bright, but the subject is dark. This function detects backlight conditions and compensates for it automatically.
Extended Battery Life – expect to get around 300 shots from the supplied rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.
Mega Burst Consecutive Shooting - lets you snap off consecutive shots at approx. 2.3 frames per second at full resolution.
P/A/S/M Manual Modes – adjust shutter and aperture settings manually with dedicated settings on mode dial for greater creativity.
High Dynamic Mode - helps to capture a scene with moderate exposure even though the scene contains both bright and dark areas together such as when there is strong sunlight and deep shadows.
High Quality Audio - A stereo microphone, featuring Dolby® Digital Stereo Creator, on the upper body records dynamic, true-to-life stereo audio that brings out the power of your HD movies.
Wind Cut - A Wind Cut function is available to block out most of the noise from background wind.
PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.1 HD Edition – supplied with the camera with this software you can sort images by recognized faces, by GPS location, enjoy slideshows with music that you can burn to DVD disc, upload movies directly to YouTube™ even in HD quality. It also lets you create a 360-degree rotation panorama file in MOV format. |
