Product Description
Manufacturer Description
The DMC-LZ6 boasts 7.2-megapixel recording, a powerful 6x optical zoom
lens (equivalent to 37-222mm on a 35mm film camera) and convenient AA
battery operation. plus a bright, easy-to-see 2.0-inch LCD. Thanks to
Panasonic's careful redesign inside and out, the LZ6 has a more
stylish and higher-quality appearance than previous models, and is
smaller and lighter despite using AA batteries.
The new Venus Engine III image processing engine gives them even
higher image quality and speedier processing. The LZ6 also
incorporates the Intelligent Image Stabilization system, which which
comprises two features -- Mega O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) and
Intelligent ISO Control -- that together make it easy to capture
beautiful photos every time you shoot. Mega O.I.S. compensates for the
effects of hand-shake, making it possible to capture clear, crisp
photos indoors, at night, when taking macro close-ups, or using high
powered zooming -- situations in which hand-shake is most likely to be
a problem. Even Mega O.I.S., however, cannot suppress the motion blur
caused by a subject moving as the photo is being snapped. That's where
Intelligent ISO Control comes in. In this system, the camera's Venus
Engine III image-processing engine detects whether the subject is
moving and, as necessary, raises the ISO setting and shutter speed
according to the degree of movement and light conditions. This happens
automatically, so you can shoot without the bother of adjusting
settings every time conditions change. Lumix and its powerful
Intelligent Image Stabilization system do all the work for you. You
enjoy easy, trouble-free shooting in any situation and get the
satisfaction that comes with capturing clear, beautiful images.
The LZ6 offers a range of features that enhance usability and add
convenience. The new Quick Setting function lets you quickly and
easily access and set the functions used most often. The Easy Zoom
feature shifts the lens instantly to full 6x zoom power at the touch
of a dedicated button. With the new Date Stamp function, you can
simply stamp the date on photos or you can take advantage of two new,
original Lumix features. When travelling, you can stamp the day of the
trip on the photos you take. Or, if you have a baby, you can stamp his
or her age in months on your photos. The stamped information appears
on photos that you print yourself at home or have printed at a photo
shop.
Effective resolution has been increased to 7.2 megapixels in the LZ6,
supporting enhanced functions. It features approximately 27MB of built-
in memory and accepts large-capacity SDHC memory cards for extra
shooting convenience and flexibility. Powered by two of Panasonic’s
original, extended-life Oxyride dry cell batteries, the LZ6 can take
around 260 shots (CIPA). The menu and its graphical user interface
have also been redesigned, with the colours brightened for easier
viewability.
Combining a powerful 6x optical zoom with Panasonic's blur-fighting
Intelligent Image Stabilization, the DMC-LZ6 makes it easy for even
digital camera beginners to take clear, crisp, beautiful photos every
time they shoot.
DMC-LZ6 Highlights
Lumix DC Vario lens with powerful 6x optical zoom and Easy Zoom
function In the DMC-LZ6, Panasonic packages a Lumix DC Vario lens
featuring a 6x optical zoom -- among the most powerful available in
this class -- with a 7.2-megapixel CCD into a compact, lightweight
body. A crystallization of Panasonic’s advanced lens technologies, the
Lumix DC Vario lens comprises eight elements in seven groups,
including two lenses with a combined three aspherical surfaces, and
delivers an outstanding optical performance. The powerful 6x optical
zoom lets you capture impressive close-up shots of distant subjects
and take beautiful photos with an attractive, softly focused
background. Further, in 3-megapixel resolution mode, the Extra Optical
Zoom function uses the centre part of the CCD to provide additional
magnification, extending the zoom power to 9x. Using this feature in
combination with the 4x digital zoom brings the total zooming power to
a remarkable 36x. The Easy Zoom feature shifts the lens instantly to
full 6x zoom power at the a touch of a dedicated button, and with a
second touch, the lens is shifted to 9x by activating the Extra
Optical Zoom function.
Intelligent Image Stabilization: Mega O.I.S. for hand-shake plus
Intelligent ISO Control for motion blur Panasonic drew on its cutting-
edge lens technology to invent Mega O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabilizer),
an optical image stabilizer that prevents blurring from shaky hands --
the leading cause of blurry images. With Mega O.I.S., it is easier
than ever to capture clear, sharp, beautiful images when shooting
telephoto shots, indoor portraits, illuminated night scenes or even
the scenery you see from a train window.
While hand-shake is the single biggest cause of blurry images, it is
not the only one. Another problem is the motion blur that can occur
when a subject moves as the shot is being snapped. Incorporating
Panasonic's new Intelligent ISO Control, Lumix cameras are the first
in the world to fight motion blur by themselves. This system detects
whether or not the subject is moving. If it is, the system
automatically raises the ISO setting accordingly, allowing the camera
to shoot at a higher shutter speed. If the subject is not moving, the
camera shoots at a low ISO setting and captures beautiful, natural-
looking images. Intelligent ISO Control is included as one of the
corrections in certain scene modes used to shoot subjects that are
often moving, such as Sports, Baby and the newly added Pet mode.
Simply select the mode that best suits the subject, and Intelligent
ISO Control provides the optimal corrections, making it easy to
capture crisp, clear photos.
With Intelligent Image Stabilization -- Mega O.I.S. to compensate for
hand-shake plus Intelligent ISO Control to prevent motion blur --
Panasonic has taken image stabilization a leap forward and equipped
the new Lumix DMC-LZ6 with the industry's most advanced
countermeasures against blurring.
High-quality, high-performance Image-Processing LSI: Venus Engine III
The DMC-LZ6 features Panasonic's Venus Engine III, an advanced image
processing engine which in the past was offered only in the step-up
Lumix models. It can record at a sensitivity setting as high as ISO
1250 with full resolution. Noise reduction is also greatly improved,
with picture noise removed in stages during image processing. First,
critical noise is roughly undraped and chromatic noise and luminance
noise are separated. The chromatic noise, which has a greater effect
on picture quality, is then selectively suppressed to a substantial
degree.
With its multi-task image-processing capability, the Venus Engine III
also boasts outstanding response time. Shutter release time lag is as
short as 0.005 second. This fast response makes it easy to capture
sudden, spur-of-the-moment shots. It also allows unlimited consecutive
shooting -- you can continue snapping shots until the SDHC/SD memory
card is full.
Record clear, bright, wide-aspect VGA motion images -- ideal for
widescreen viewing In addition to recording standard VGA (640 x 480)
motion images at 30 frames per second, the DMC-LZ6 can record stunning
wide-aspect VGA (848 x 480) motion images at 30 frames per second.
These 16:9 motion pictures look extremely impressive on a wide-screen
TV. The pixel-mixed readout method used by the CCD enhances image
brightness, so the pictures you see are clear, bright and beautiful.
Bright 2.0-Inch LCD for easy shooting and playback The DMC-LZ6 has a
large, bright 2.0-inch LCD for comfortable viewing both while
monitoring shots and while playing back the results. The pixel-mixed
readout method used by the CCD automatically increases the brightness
of the live image on the LCD, making it much easier to shoot in low
lighting. The High Angle mode, which can be accessed quickly and
easily via a dedicated button, makes the LCD screen extremely easy to
view when the camera is held high, such as to shoot over a crowd.
Fast, easy auto focusing To match the shooting situation and subject's
position, the user can select from five auto-focusing methods: 5-
point, 3-point high-speed, 1-point high-speed, 1-point normal-speed,
and spot. As with all powerful zoom models in the Lumix family, the
DMC-LZ6 leads the industry with its short AF time, especially in the 1
point high-speed AF, achieving quick, smooth operation. Although
screen-freeze in high-speed auto focusing is now minimised, it can be
entirely eliminated when taking pictures of fast-moving subjects by
selecting 1-point normal-speed AF.
Extended shooting with Panasonic's Oxyride AA batteries The DMC-LZ6
runs on two AA batteries, which can be purchased anywhere. Each camera
also comes with two Panasonic Oxyride AA batteries, which let you take
around 65 percent more shots than you can with ordinary Panasonic
alkaline batteries. The Oxyride batteries let you take around 260
shots (CIPA).
Other advanced features In addition to outstanding basic
specifications, a host of other improvements make the DMC-LZ6 ideal
for taking beautiful pictures with ease. Approximately 27 MB of built-
in memory is provided, and the camera accommodates large-capacity SDHC
memory cards. A total of 18 scene modes, including the new Pet and
Sunset modes, also make it easy to get beautiful photos in a range of
photographic situations. Three of the modes -- Sports, Baby and Pet --
apply Panasonic's Intelligent ISO Control to help you capture crisp,
blur-free photos even if the subject moves as you shoot. Frequently
used functions, such as white balance adjustment, ISO setting, picture
size, quality (compression format) and consecutive shots, are quickly
and easily handled with the Quick Setting function without having to
enter the menu and set each of them.
The fun continues even when the shooting is done With the DMC-LZ6, the
enjoyment of photography doesn't end when you're done shooting for the
day. One additional function that broadens the fun of photography is
Direct Print mode. To select it, simply turn the mode dial on the
camera top. Then use the USB cable provided to connect the camera to a
Pictbridge-compatible printer, and you're ready to print beautiful
photos. Print all the images you shot or only your favourites, and
make one copy or multiple copies as you wish. When you turn the mode
dial, the mode selected is indicated on the LCD. This lets you change
the mode to recording, playback or direct printing without taking your
eyes off the subject.
Also interesting is the new Date Stamp function. In addition to
showing the date a photo was taken, the LZ6 can show on which day of
the trip a photo was taken. They can also stamp your baby's age in
months on a photo, after you've taken the shots. These dates, which
can be helpful when making a photo album, can be stamped on photos
whether you print them yourself at home or have a photo shop do them.
With the optional Panasonic DMW-SDP1 HDTV Photo Player, it's easy to
have a slide show of Lumix images in 1080i high-definition quality. By
simply connecting the SDP1, via a component cable, to a high-
definition TV such as a Panasonic Viera, and inserting the SDHC/SD
memory card into its slot, users can view their photos on a large
display together with family or friends. Like Lumix cameras, the DMW-
SDP1 incorporates the Venus Engine III imaging engine. This provides
extremely quick advancing from one slide to the next. It also allows
playback of wide-aspect VGA (848x 480) motion images that fit an
HDTV’s 16:9 screen.
