The ultra-compact DMC-TZ3/TZ2 boasts a 28mm wide-angle** LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 10x optical zoom power. With the wide-angle lens, you can get all your friends in the picture or capture an expansive landscape in a single shot. And with the high-power optical zoom, you can get clear, beautiful shots even when you can't get close to your subject. The 15x (DMC-TZ3, 35mm equivalent: 420mm) / 13.8x (DMC-TZ2, 35mm equivalent: 386mm) Extra Optical Zoom*** feature gives you even greater zoom power.

* In the U.S.A. market, the Extra Optical Zoom is called the Extended Optical Zoom.
** Converted to standard 35mm film camera equivalent, at the maximum wide position.
*** At a resolution of 3-megapixel or less.

The Intelligent Image Stabilizer automatically prevents blurring. MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) suppresses the effects of hand-shake, so you get vibrantly colored shots of the remarkable landscapes you find when traveling, in all their natural beauty, even when zooming. Intelligent ISO Control suppresses the blurring that can occur when your subject moves, such as when you're photographing an animal in the wild.
This powerful blur-minimizing system combines with the high-resolution 7.2-megapixel (DMC-TZ3) / 6-megapixel (DMC-TZ2) image sensor and high-performance Venus Engine III image processor to give you beautiful photos of places and events you want to remember forever.

• High Sensitivity Mode ISO 3200

And there's a wealth of additional functions you'll appreciate when you're on the road, such as Date Stamp and a new Clipboard Function that lets you save images of maps, timetables and other useful information. Shooting is even more fun when you can view the photos right on the spot. Featuring a large 3.0" high-resolution LCD*, the DMC-TZ3 lets you and all your friends see the photos you just shot.
