The Lumix DMC-LZ20 Digital Camera from Panasonic offers
high resolution photography with a 21x optical zoom lens and HD video
recording. High quality images are a breeze for any level of
photographer with the Lumix LZ20 thanks to its 16MP CCD sensor, 25-525mm
ultra zoom lens supported by an Optical Image Stabilizer and
Panasonic's unique iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode.
The 16MP sensor and the LZ20's image processor work to produce high
quality images even at high zoom and even using high sensitivity ISO
settings. In terms of ISO sensitivity, which enables your camera to pick
up more details in low light, the LZ20 ranges up to ISO 6400 in High
Sensitivity Mode. It also provides blur prevention with its optical
image stabilizer, which is of great help when shooting with the camera's
impressive zoom. Ranging from a true wide angle at 25mm all the way to
an ultra zoom at 525mm, the optical zoom function on the LZ20 provides
its user with a complete range of focal lengths to shoot everything from
family and friends to landscapes to detailed close-ups.
With its Intelligent Auto mode, the LZ20 provides the ultimate in
ease of operation and error-free shooting. In iA mode, all of the
camera's assistive functions- Optical Image Stabilizer, Face Detection,
Intelligent ISO Control, Intelligent Scene Selector, and Intelligent
Exposure - are integrated to work together. Brightness, shutter speed,
red-eye control are all taken care of, your job is to frame your subject
as you like and simply let the camera do the work.
This applies to the camera's video function as well! Dynamic HD video
is recorded with the ease of pushing a button and with the included
PHOTOfunSTUDIO software, videos can be easily edited and uploaded to
share with friends and family.

easily be carried in your pocket and pulled out for spontaneous
shooting, but its 3.0" LCD display is like that of larger cameras and
fully able to show off the photos and videos you make with this
portable, easy to use gem of a camera.
