Product Features
24 mm ultra wide-angle 16x optical zoom LEICA DC lens
The compact, versatile lens system is the hallmark of LUMIX ZS series and now this lens system is totally redeveloped for the DMC-ZS8 in both optical and mechanical design. The high-quality LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens system is even more versatile with 24 mm ultra wide-angle to powerful 16x optical zoom.
Powerful 16x optical zoom
The DMC-ZS8 features a powerful 16x optical zoom lens. This gives you highly natural expressions from people and animals that you can't get close to. It can also be used for shooting movies, and is designed to suppress noise while zooming. This slim, compact, pocket-sized camera can easily go wherever you do - for both everyday snapshots and traveling.
Intelligent Resolution technology
The image processing technology "Intelligent Resolution" is incorporated in the Venus Engine VI for the DMC-ZS8. With the Intelligent Resolution technology, 3 areas - outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation areas - are automatically detected and optimum signal processes are performed to each area. Apart from the uniform enhancement of sharpness, the innovative technology Intelligent Resolution precisely performs signal processing pixel by pixel in the most effective way for it.
iA (Intelligent Auto) mode
When you don't know which mode will give you the best shooting results, or when a sudden photo opportunity pops up and you don't have time to make any settings, simply choose the iA (Intelligent Auto) mode and let the camera do it all for you. You just choose the iA mode, aim at your subject, and shoot. 7 detection and correction functions are simultaneously activated to optimize the settings, so you get stunning photos every time.
Face detection AF/AE with face recognition
The DMC-ZS8 features the face recognition, a function that "remembers" faces. The conventional face detection system captures a face with focus and appropriate exposure but sometimes it falls not on the face you want to capture most beautifully when there are several faces in a frame. The face recognition prioritizes focus and exposure right on the face of your special person. In playback, you can choose to display only photos that contain a specific registered face using the Category Playback.
Macro zoom
The DMC-ZS8 lets you get as close as 3cm to your subject. In addition, when using the macro zoom function, you can pull subjects even closer than the closest point possible by using 3x digital zoom, and capture dramatic close-ups.
Slideshow with music
The DMC-ZS8 can play a slideshow with music. Choose from 4 types of music: natural, slow, swing and urban. Then, select the transition effect to match your music. For musical slideshows created, you can choose your favorite iTunes music file as background music.
AF tracking - subject detection
Once you focus on your subject, the AF tracking automatically tracks it until you press the shutter. When you're taking images of an active subject, like children or pets, this function eliminates the need to press the shutter button halfway down repeatedly to readjust the focus. The AF tracking makes sure you don't miss those once-in-a-lifetime shooting opportunities.
Venus Engine VI
The high-speed, high-performance Venus Engine VI is incorporated in the DMC-ZS8 to enable the recording of beautiful images with higher quality signal processing including the Intelligent Resolution technology.
