25-250mm (field of view) zoom lens in ratio 3:2/20Mpixel
(5472x3648) 1" sensor mode.

'handheld' for
street, landscapes and
portraiture photography. It's f2.8 aperture at 25mm (field of
view) should prove excellent for low light images. It also

equipment, just power and portability in perfect harmony.
Low light (1 inch sensor & Picture quality) - Capture day &
night
Just because the sun goes down, doesn’t mean your camera has to
as well. Keep capturing into the night, with the powerful 1-inch
20-Megapixel MOS sensor of the TZ100. More detail, more colour
and more clarity, even in low light.
10x Zoom - Stunning shots are closer than you think
When you just can't get closer, the powerful 10x optical zoom of
the LUMIX TZ100 helps you get the shot. Featuring a world-famous
LEICA DC ELMARIT lens, its powerful zoom offers incredible
flexibility, ranging from 25mm-250mm. Perfect for capturing the
sights; both near and far.
Post Focus - Shoot now, focus later
Imagine being able to decide exactly what you want in focus,
even after you've taken the photo. The Post Focus function on
the LUMIX TZ100 gives you the power to do just that. Simply
capture the scene, review the image and touch the part of the
photo you'd like to be pin sharp. It's simple, stunning and all
inside the LUMIX TZ100.
4K
Video. Life in vivid detail
With the stunning power of 4K Video, the TZ100 allows you to
record your journey in up to 4x the quality of Full HD. More
excitement, more detail and even more memories to look back on;
again and again.
Unmissable moments with 4K PHOTO
Thanks to 4K technology inside the TZ100, 4K PHOTO allows you to
capture the perfect moment in 30fps, and select your best photo
after shooting. Shoot, select and save. With 4K PHOTO mode on
the LUMIX TZ100, make moments, truly unmissable.
Live view finder (LVF) - See it all
Sometimes, harsh sunlight makes even the brightest camera
screens difficult to see. The LUMIX TZ100 features a Live View
Finder which automatically turns on when you lift the camera to
your eye, so you can see every detail and capture the shot
you're looking for.
