The maximum level for ISO sensitivity can also be set (P.51, ‘ISO LIMIT’). If the maximum level is set to ‘800’ or ‘1250’, this will be reduced to ‘640’ when using the flash.

Subject movement may not be detected if subject is too small, is at the edge of the screen, or starts to move at the same time as the shutter. (when button is pressed fully).

Blurring may occur depending on the brightness and movement speed. ‘D.ZOOM’ (P.27) and ‘SLOW SHUTTER’ (P.56) cannot be used.

Set to

We recommend using a tripod, the self-timer (P.35), and flash ‘FORCED OFF’ (P.36).

Moving the camera after aligning the focus is likely to result in poorly focused pictures if subject is close to camera, due to margin for focus alignment being severely reduced. Resolution may be reduced around the edges of the picture.

Taking close-up pictures from more distant locations (Tele Macro function)

Zoom to max. T to take close-up pictures of flowers at foot-level, or animals that you cannot approach, from distances of at least 1 m (3.28 feet). Align focus after zooming by pressing shutter halfway. Using tripod is recommended as jitter occurs easily.

This lens is perfect for a variety of shooting situations, from broad landscapes to distant subjects, enabling users to capture stunning images without the need for multiple lenses.

One of the standout features of the TZ2 is its Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S) technology, a boon for handheld photography. This technology minimizes the blurriness caused by camera shake, especially in low-light conditions or when using zoom. Coupled with a fast f/3.3 to f/4.9 aperture, the TZ2 ensures that users can shoot confidently even in challenging lighting conditions.

The DMC-TZ2 also includes a 2.5-inch LCD screen with a high resolution, making it easy to frame shots and review images.

Furthermore, the camera features a variety of scene modes and intelligent automatic settings, facilitating effortless shooting without requiring in-depth camera knowledge.

In terms of additional technologies, the TZ2 boasts the Venus Engine III image processor, which enhances image quality while minimizing noise at higher ISO settings. This processor also contributes to faster shooting speeds and improved battery performance, allowing for extended usage during outings.

Built with a sleek, compact design, the DMC-TZ2 is made for portability, making it an ideal travel companion. Its robust construction ensures durability, while its lightweight design makes it easy to carry.

In conclusion, the Panasonic DMC-TZ2 provides an impressive combination of features, advanced technologies, and user-friendly options within a compact design.
