Taking close-up pictures without standing close to subject

‘TELE MACRO function’

Useful for taking close-up pictures of, for example, birds that may fly away if approached, or to blur background and emphasize subject.

‘TELE MACRO’ operates automatically when optical or extended optical zoom ratios are set to maximum; focus can be aligned for distances as close as 1 m (3.28 feet).

Turn to max. T

Digital zoom may also be used.

Cannot be used in the following circumstances:

•When not using ‘MACRO’ in (NORMAL

PICTURE mode) or (MOTION PICTURE mode)

•Scene modes other than ‘FOOD’,‘CANDLE LIGHT’,‘BABY’,‘HIGH SENS.’ ,‘UNDERWATER’, ‘PET’, and ‘HI-SPEED BURST’.

is displayed when using ‘macro’ in (NORMAL PICTURE mode) and (MOTION PICTURE mode).

We recommend using a tripod, the self-timer (P.42), and flash ‘FORCED FLASH OFF’ (P.38).

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.

When using (INTELLIGENT AUTO mode), macro recording can be activated by just pointing the camera at subject. ( display)

The scene modes available, such as Portrait, Scenery, and Night Portrait, provide versatility for various shooting scenarios.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the high-definition movie recording capability. The DMC-TZ5 stands out with its ability to capture 720p HD videos, enhancing the multimedia experience. Both models include a 2.5-inch LCD display that features a wide viewing angle, allowing users to compose shots and review images easily, even in bright sunlight.

With a built-in GPS feature in the DMC-TZ5, users can geotag their photos effortlessly, making it easier to recall locations during travel. Battery life is commendable, providing ample shots on a single charge, and both models offer quick start-up times and fast autofocus, minimizing the chances of missing fleeting moments.
