Panasonic Dmc-Tz101

is four times larger than conventional compact camera sensors. The TZ101 is therefore ideal for low-noise shooting even under difficult lighting conditions, as well as for images with low depth of field.
The Lumix TZ101 features a 25mm ultra wide angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens with powerful 10x zoom (25-250mm KB). It offers Leica-typical image quality and is the first lens in the TZ series with an initial aperture of F2.8, with the OIS optical image stabilizer also contributing to this. It works on five axes to counteract virtually any camera shake caused by the camera-guided hand.

Exceptional 4K photo and video features:
The Lumix TZ101 enables the recording of outstanding 4K videos with the quadruple resolution of Full-HD. But photographers also benefit from the strengths of 4K technology. With the 4K photo function, they simply separate the perfect moment out of 4K shots at 30fps - for example, exactly the fraction of a second in which the fingers touch the water surface during a dive. The desired single image is saved as a JPEG photo with 8-megapixel resolution: for printing, sharing and always amazed.
As a further 4K function, Post-Focus makes it possible to determine the focus after triggering. When shooting in 4K resolution, the camera detects up to 49 levels of sharpness from near to far. Afterwards, simply tap on the image area to be focused and save the image with the desired sharpness level as 8-megapixel JPEG. Alternatively, several focus levels can be selected and subsequently joined to form a larger focus area by means of software (sold separately) ("Focus Stacking").
The TZ101 films fast-moving subjects in high-speed video mode at 100 fps and full HD resolution. Time-lapse and stop motion are further video specialties of Lumix.

Perfect control through integrated viewfinder and touchscreen monitor:
The Lumix TZ101 has an integrated viewfinder with eye sensor for safe and convenient image control. Back in the TZ series is the touch monitor including direct touch autofocus positioning and touch triggering. For better control, the focus area can easily be enlarged by Multi-Touch operation. The touch screen also offers a very convenient option for determining the focus of the post-focus function.

Faster reaction due to hybrid contrast AF:
For fast-response focusing, a linear motor is integrated that works with the fast hybrid contrast AF system with DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology*. It calculates the distance to the subject 240 times per second. This is done by evaluating two images with different levels of sharpness, taking into account the data coming from the lens. The TZ101 achieves a super fast AF time of only 0.1 seconds**. This advantage becomes more and more noticeable with increasing focal length.
