Slow Shutter [SLOW SHUTTER]

SCN1 SCN2

The shutter speed can be automatically adjusted. However, if you want brighter pictures, you can manually select a slower shutter speed. This is especially effective if you want to take pictures where both the night landscape and the subject are bright, using [NIGHT PORTRAIT] in scene mode (P56).

The slow shutter speed values you can select are: [1/8 – ], [1/4 – ], [1/2 – ] and [1 – ].

It is possible to further magnify a subject already magnified 6 times with the optical zoom 4 more times with the digital zoom, thereby reaching a maximum of 24 times.

∫Entering the digital zoom range When you rotate the zoom lever to the extreme Tele position, the on-screen zoom indication may momentarily pause. This is not a malfunction.

You can enter the digital zoom range by continuously rotating the zoom lever to Tele or releasing the zoom lever once and then rotate it to Tele again.

DMC-LZ2GN, DMC-LZ1GN specifications

The Panasonic DMC-LZ1GN and DMC-LZ2GN are compact digital cameras that signify an important step in the evolution of portable imaging technology. Designed for casual photographers and enthusiasts alike, these models pack a range of features and technologies that enhance photo quality and user experience.

A standout feature of both the DMC-LZ1GN and DMC-LZ2GN is their 6-megapixel resolution, which allows users to capture sharp and detailed images. This resolution is complemented by the cameras' 6x optical zoom, providing flexibility for various shooting scenarios, from close-ups to distant subjects. This powerful zoom capability is complemented by a Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens, known for its high-quality optics and minimal distortion. The lens design ensures that photos retain clarity even in challenging lighting conditions.

The cameras also incorporate Panasonic's Intelligent ISO Control technology, which automatically adjusts the sensitivity settings based on the motion of the subjects within the frame. This results in reduced noise and clearer images, particularly in low-light situations.

Both models feature a large 2.5-inch LCD screen that provides a bright and clear display for composing shots and reviewing images. The screen is designed for easy viewing in various lighting conditions, allowing for a seamless photography experience. Furthermore, the user-friendly interface simplifies navigation through the camera settings and shooting modes, making it accessible for users of all skill levels.

Battery life is another noteworthy characteristic, with both cameras utilizing rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that provide extended shooting time. This is ideal for travelers and event photographers who may not have immediate access to power sources during their outings.

In terms of versatility, the DMC-LZ1GN and DMC-LZ2GN come with several shooting modes, including portrait, landscape, and macro, catering to different photography needs. These modes enhance the user’s ability to capture stunning photos effortlessly, turning novice users into confident shooters.
