8.1 Megapixel Image SensorThe Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8S features an amazing 8.1 megapixel effective CCD to provide profound image detail with unparalleled richness and depth, and the ultimate flexibility in enlarging and cropping shots.
Leica DC Vario-Elmar Lens with 5X Optical ZoomTop-of-the-line Leica DC Vario-Elmar lenses combine compactness with superb image rendering capabilities for outstanding auto-focusing, zooming and color reproduction. The lens provides 5X optical and 4X digital zoom capabilities for convenient close-up shooting.
MEGA Optical Image StabilizationThe system uses built-in gyrosensors to detect even a tiny camera movement and compensate it by shifting the lens in the opposite direction. The completely-optical system does not affect the CCD or image processing at all, so you get sharp, clear images with minimal degradation when you are in motion.
Intelligent Auto ModeIncorporating 4 intuitive functions - Intelligent Scene Selector, MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.), Intelligent ISO Control and Face Detection, Lumix' Intelligent Auto (iA) mode automatically selects the most appropriate setting to match your shooting situation, making it easier than ever to take beautiful photos every time.
Venus Engine IVPanasonic's Venus Engine IV employs advanced multi-task signal processing for speedy response, reduced power consumption and enhanced image quality. The newly developed noise reduction system effectively suppresses low-frequency noises and preserves as much color information as possible, resulting in beautiful, clear pictures in any ISO setting.
Manual ControlsThe Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8S provides Program AE, Aperture Priority AE, Shutter Priority AE and Manual modes so you can fine tune the settings manually for particular effects and professional quality pictures.
