The optical zoom is set to Wide (1k) when the camera is turned on.

The picture may have some distortion (typical example: vertical straight line bent outwards). This is due to the lens aberration, which is common to some extent with all photographic lenses. Distortion may be more visible when using a wider area of the zoom lens as you get closer to the subject.

When using the zoom lens at high magnification, the quality of the picture can be enhanced if a tripod is used. At high magnification, even small movements can cause a slight decrease in picture sharpness.

If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.

When you record motion images, the zoom magnification is fixed to the value set at the start of recording.

The indicated zoom magnification is an approximation.

The lens is ejected or retracted according to the zoom position.

Take care not to interrupt the motion of the lens while the zoom lever is rotated.

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.
