Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3S 5MP Digital Camera with 6x Image Stabilized Zoom
August 31st, 2007 - Posted in Uncategorized
Your son takes his first step, or your daughter takes her encore bow at her first recital. Luckily, you were ready with your digital camera and caught this historic moment. But wait! The photo you took is blurry. In your excitement, you accidentally shook the camera just as you snapped the shutter. If this has ever happened to you–and you are by no means alone!–then you’ll want to take a close look at the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3 5-megapixel digital camera with 6x image-stabilized optical zoom.
The Lumix DMC-LZ3 was designed specifically to address the universal problem of “hand-shake”–the culprit of the majority of blurred digital images. At the heart of the Lumix DMC-LZ3 is Panasonic’s Mega Optical Image Stabilizing System, or Mega O.I.S. A built-in gyrosensor detects any hand movement and relays a signal to a tiny microcomputer inside the camera, which instantly calculates the compensation needed. A linear motor then shifts the O.I.S. lens as necessary to guide incoming light from the image straight to the CCD. All this happens seamlessly and behind the scenes. All you’ll notice will be the camera’s outstanding results.
Mega O.I.S. is effective in most shooting situations, such as dimly lit indoor shots, nighttime shots, or macro shots. However, when taking indoor shots of moving subjects, such as children or pets, the movement of the subject tends also to contribute to the blurring. For this, the Lumix DMC-LZ3 features a high sensitivity mode to prevent hazy motion effects, further expanding your range of crisp, clear photo expression.
Another outstanding feature is the Lumix DMC-LZ3’s 6x optical zoom. This powerful zoom–the equivalent to a 37mm to 222mm zoom on a 35mm film camera–lets you easily capture and magnify subjects in distant locations, and also produces impressive photos with soft-focused backgrounds. The zoom lens crystallizes Panasonic’s optics technology, using two aspherical lenses to achieve compactness and boost optical performance. Together with the camera’s 4x digital zoom, you can enjoy up to 24x zoom power–an amazing 888mm zoom equivalent on a 35mm camera.
