Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3R 10.1 Megapixel Digital Camera with AVCHD Lite, iA Mode, 12x Optical Zoom, 4x Digital Zoom & 3.0" TFT LCD Display, Red

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3R digital camera records HD motion images at a smooth 60 frames per second with 1280 x 720-pixel resolution. It uses the AVCHD (MPEG-4/H.264) format, via AVCHD Lite, which stores less data than other formats and thus lets you shoot more minutes of HD motion images before running out of memory. It features the Dolby sound, the ZS3 records dynamic, true-to-life audio that brings out the power of the HD images. The Wind cut function minimizes the distracting sound you hear from wind blowing into the mic.

The YouTube Uploader software makes it easy to upload your video clips to YouTube. The ZS3 is equipped with an HDMI output terminal for direct transmission of digital picture and sound signals. Just connect the camera to an HDTV using a single HDMI mini cable (purchased separately) and it's easy to view beautiful HD photos and motion images. If you have a VIERA HDTV, you can control the camera's playback functions with VIERA's remote control unit.

Just set the camera to iA mode, aim and shoot. The camera does all the rest. It automatically determines the most suitable Scene mode and helps correct blurring, focus and brightness problems. With iA mode, it's easy to get beautiful, clear results.

The ZS3 packs a LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 12x optical zoom into a compact body. This versatile photographic tool lets you shoot everything from sweeping vistas at the 25mm wide-angle setting to dynamic 300mm telephoto shots. And the lens system's exquisite rendering ability lets you capture even the subtle nuances of the sights and scenes in your travels.
