25mm wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 12x optical zoom
The TZ6 packs a LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 12x optical zoom into a compact body. This versatile photographic tool lets you shoot everything from sweeping vistas at the 25mm wide-angle setting to dynamic 300mm telephoto shots. And the lens system's exquisite rendering ability lets you capture even the subtle nuances of the sights and scenes in your travels.
Intelligent Auto (iA)
Just set the camera to iA mode, aim and shoot. The camera does the rest, automatically activating six detection and correction functions. These include:
MEGA O.I.S. - helps prevent blurring due to shaky hands
Intelligent ISO Control - helps prevent blurring caused by subject motion.
Intelligent Scene Selector - selects the optimal scene mode for the situation.
Intelligent Exposure - adjusts the brightness of dark areas in the image.
Face Detection AF/AE - helps deliver clear portraits.
AF Tracking - locks the focus onto your moving subject.
25mm Wide Angle Lens
The expressiveness of a wide-angle lens lies in its ability to capture spatial expanse and depth. When you want to shoot a sweeping landscape or fit all your friends in a photo when there isn't much room, there's nothing like a wide-angle lens.
2.7" LCD Screen
The DMC-TZ6 incorporate an easy-to-see, large, 2.7-inch 230,000-dot high-resolution LCD for comfortable viewing while both monitoring shots and playing back the results. The Intelligent LCD function detects the light condition and automatically boosts the LCD backlighting by max. 40% when shooting outdoors in bright sunshine, and adjusts the frame rate when shooting in low-lit situations.
Optical Zoom in Movie
The TZ6 allows you to zoom in and out while shooting motion images.
Panorama Assist
A Panorama Assist mode makes it easy to take a series of images to combine into a panorama shot, while checking the degree of overlap between adjacent shots. This is great for shooting landscapes that are too wide to capture in a single shot.
Macro Zoom
Using the digital zoom function, you can pull subjects even closer than the closest point possible with the wide-angle setting, and capture dramatic close-ups.
Photo Frame Mode
In Photo Frame mode, you can compose your shot while displaying one of the frames registered in the camera. This is a quick, easy way to produce photos with attractive borders.
