Featuring a 6x optical zoom (equivalent to a 37mm-222mm zoom on a 35mm film camera), our versatile LZ models are perfect for everyday shooting and great to bring along on a family trip. You'll appreciate the convenience of Easy Zoom: Press the button once for 6x zoom. Press twice for 9x Extra Optical Zoom (35mm equivalent: 333mm**) to get even closer to your subject***.
For added convenience, LZ models use AA batteries. So if you're out somewhere and the batteries start running low, just drop into a convenience store and pick up fresh ones.

* In the U.S.A. market, the Extra Optical Zoom is called the Extended Optical Zoom.
** At a resolution of 3-megapixel or less.
*** If the resolution is set to a level higher than 3-megapixel, the camera will automatically change it to 3-megapixel. Pressing the button a third time will return the lens to the wide-end (1x) position, and reset the resolution to the ordinary level. If the resolution is set to 3-megapixel or less, the image will be taken at the set level.

Panasonic's advanced Intelligent Image Stabilizer suppresses the blurs two ways. First, the MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) minimizes blurring caused by shaky hands. And second, Intelligent ISO Control minimizes the motion blur that can occur when taking shots of kids, pets or other subjects that won't keep still.
This Intelligent Image Stabilizer system combines with the high-resolution 7.2-megapixel image sensor and high-performance Venus Engine III image processor to deliver clear, sharp beautiful pictures.
