  • HDMI Output
Description
AVCHD format - beautiful HD images, extended shooting time
The Z3S records HD motion images at a smooth 60 frames per second with 1280 x 720-pixel resolution. It uses the AVCHD (MPEG-4/H.264) format, via AVCHD Lite, which stores less data than other formats and thus lets you shoot more minutes of HD motion images before running out of memory.

Stereo Mic
The world's first compact camera to feature Dolby® sound, the ZS3 records dynamic, true-to-life audio that brings out the power of the HD images. (Dolby is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories).

Wind cut function
Minimizes the distracting sound you hear from wind blowing into the mic.

YouTube™ Uploader
This software (included with the camera) makes it easy to upload your video clips to YouTube™.
(YouTube is a trademark of Google Inc.)

HDMI output and VIERA Link
The ZS3 is equipped with an HDMI output terminal for direct transmission of digital picture and sound signals. Just connect the camera to an HDTV using a single HDMI mini cable (purchased separately), and it's easy to view beautiful HD photos and motion images. If you have a VIERA HDTV, you can control the camera's playback functions with VIERA's remote control unit. (HDMI, High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC).

iA mode, for beautiful photos and movies - automatically
Just set the camera to iA mode, aim and shoot. The camera does all the rest. It automatically determines the most suitable Scene mode and helps correct blurring, focus, and brightness problems. With iA mode, it's easy to get beautiful, clear results. *In the ZS3, iA mode cannot be used when shooting motion images.

25mm wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 12x optical zoom
The ZS3 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.

    This camera takes great prictures. I have taken pictures at an effective 300mm and 1/8 second hand held in low light and although not perfect, the pictures are amazingly clear. I have taken many pictures outside at 300m and the sharpness is excellent. The 25mm to 300mm effective zoom lense produces excellent pictures at all focal lenghts. The AVCHD lite video spec is a little misleading in that it states 720p60. Although it is 720p60, every frame is repeated so it is really only 30 new frames pre second. The only other issue I have found with the camera is that having only an LCD as the view finder, it is hard to see the subject in bright sunlight. Probably a problem with all cameras of this type.

    The product is okay for what I bought it for and produces good image right out of the box. My problem with it is the fact that I have to bring out the battery to be charged each time it needs to be charged. To be charged inside the camera, you have get a multifunction cable from the manufacturer for close to $90.00 which to me is unthinkable having spent that amount on the camera. The so called cable should be included in the package content and not intentionally creating another monetary avenue from unsuspecting customers. If I had known that that was the case, I would not have gone for the camera.

          this camera was suggested to me by a professional photographer. I had a cannon power shot that was only good on close shota and good light. The Lumix was recommended and it performs as advertised.
