Details make the difference With powerful zoom options, the versatile TZ7 is ready for virtually all shooting situations. You can use the 12x optical zoom over the entire shooting range, capturing every detail into the shot even at far distances with 300mm telephoto facility. The Extra Optical Zoom function goes a step further, boosting the zoom power to 21.4x at 3-megapixel resolution to bring subjects even closer without deteriorating the image quality.
Capture the bigger picture Because the world was not sized for a standard lens, the TZ7 offers a high-performance 25mm wide-angle lens. That means you can capture entire sweeping landscapes and monumental sights without any part of the scene being cut off – or get everyone into the picture in tight spaces. The image area of the 25mm wide-angle lens is nearly double the size of a conventional 35mm lens, so you can fit more of your shooting subject in the frame.
Your own stunning HD films The TZ7 is not only a digital camera, it also records High Definition motion pictures in the AVCHD Lite format. This cutting-edge HD video recording & playback format is extremely efficient, saving battery & storage capacity to nearly double the recording time of HD footage compared to conventional Motion JPEG. The TZ7 also features Dolby Digital Stereo Creator and Wind-Cut function for superb sound quality to compliment the HD images.
Dressed with Class Heading up the Lumix range of compact cameras, the TZ7 is available in black, brown and silver, and this stunning model will be available in a limited edition striking red – for those looking for the ultimate in colour co-ordination.
