New Leica 24mm Lens

24mm Ultra Wide-angle 16x Optical Zoom LEICA DC Lens

The compact, versatile lens system is the hallmark of LUMIX ZS(TZ) series and now this lens system is totally redeveloped for the DMC-ZS8(TZ18) in both optical and mechanical design. The new high-quality LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens system is even more versatile with 24mm ultra wide-angle* to powerful 16x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 24-384mm).

Comprising 12 elements in 10 groups, including an ED lens and 3 aspherical lenses with 6 aspherical surfaces, this advanced lens unit suppresses chromatic aberration which tends to occur in telephoto shooting effectively. It also boasts a short total length of lens unit despite its higher versatility with longer zoom range, which is made possible by a development of new mechanism for a structure of lens barrel. The lens system is also compatible with high shutter speed of min.1/4,000 sec.

The newly applied Nano Surface Coating boasts extremely low reflectance ratio compared with the conventional multi coating to suppress ghosting. With this Panasonic's black box technology, which is adopted for the first time to the LUMIX, the image delivered through the lens of the DMC-ZS8(TZ18) has exceptional optical performance with stunning clarity that passes Leica's stringent standards.

Powerful 16x Optical Zoom

The DMC-ZS8(TZ18) features a powerful 16x optical zoom lens (35mm camera equivalent: 24-384mm). This gives you highly natural expressions from people and animals that you can't get close to. It can also be used for shooting movies, and is designed to suppress noise while zooming. This slim, compact, pocket-sized camera can easily go wherever you do － for both everyday snapshots and traveling.

The 16x Optical Zoom Keeps the Subject Sharp
While Giving the Background a Soft Focus

The DMC-ZS8(TZ18) takes advantage of its 16x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 384mm). You can snap photos that capture the subject in a clear, sharp focus while giving the background a beautiful soft focus.

24mm Ultra Wide-angle Lens

The 24mm ultra wide-angle lens* – rare on a compact camera – gives you a wider range of composition possibilities with approx. 213% larger viewing space compared to that of 35mm camera. The super-high-quality LEICA DC lens minimizes distortion at the wide end.

* Converted to standard 35mm camera equivalent, at the wide-end.

Thanks to the Intelligent Resolution technology, the Intelligent Zoom is available with the DMC-ZS10(TZ20) which extends the zoom ratio by approx. 1.3x maintaining the picture quality even combining a digital zoom. This means the 16x optical can virtually extend to 21x equivalent. Furthermore, the Extra Optical Zoom function that extends zoom power to 33.8x by using the center part of the large MOS sensor to bring subjects even closer.

* At 3-megapixel resolution or less.

In addition, the high speed movie at 220 fps in QVGA size is another advantage of the sensor which captures the motion of a subject. The frame rate, AF setting and the recording resolution can be easily selected according to the movement of the subject.

* In the high speed burst shooting at 60 fps, the image size is 2.5-megapixel (16:9), 3-megapixel (3:2), 3.5-megapixel (4:3) or 2-megapixel (1:1).

The DMC-ZS10(TZ20) can fire off up to approx. 10 frames per second in full 14-megapixel resolution with its mechanical shutter. Great for capturing fast subject motion, such as sports scenes or birds in flight.

The DMC-ZS10(TZ20) lets you snap off consecutive shots at approx. 5 frames per second or 2 frames per second with continuous AF. That keeps the focus on quickly moving children for capturing decisive moments with crisp clarity.

Even higher-speed burst shooting is possible with the DMC-ZS10(TZ20) when the electronic shutter is used – 60 fps at 3.5-megapixel* resolution. Great for capturing race cars and other subjects that are difficult to catch with the naked eye.

*In the high speed burst shooting at 60 fps, the image size is 2.5-megapixel (16:9), 3-megapixel (3:2), 3.5-megapixel (4:3) or 2-megapixel (1:1).

The Intelligent Burst Mode adjusts the frame rate of burst shooting according to the speed of the subject’s movement. If the movement of the subject is not so fast, the camera shoots at regular frame rate and it moves fast, the camera increases the frame rate accordingly.

Venus Engine FHD

For the image processor, the Venus Engine FHD is incorporated that features exceptionally advanced signal processing capabilities. By separating chromatic noise from luminance noise and applying the optimal noise reduction to each, you can capture clear and beautiful images even when shooting at high ISO sensitivity levels. The Venus Engine FHD also provides precisely selective noise reduction to the chromatic noise without affecting the border of colors which is judged from the brightness level of a pixel.
Linking smoothly with the MOS sensor, the Venus Engine FHD processes a large amount of signals at high speed, making it possible to record high resolution consecutive shots and full HD movie recording.

The advanced image processing technology “Intelligent Resolution*" is incorporated in the Venus Engine FHD for the DMC-ZS10(TZ20). With the Intelligent Resolution technology, 3 areas – outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation areas – are automatically detected and optimum signal processes are performed to each area.
Apart from the uniform enhancement of sharpness, the innovative technology Intelligent Resolution precisely performs signal processing pixel by pixel in the most effective way for it. As a result, images are naturally clear and crisp in both photo and movie recording.

* The Intelligent Resolution function turns ON in the iA Mode or in some Scene Modes.
In other cases, turn ON the Intelligent Resolution from the menu to activate it.
