Technology
4x Optical Zoom Lens with Folded Optics Technology:
The DMC-TS10 has a LUMIX DC VARIO 4x optical zoom lens with folded optics to help protect the lens unit and to give it more strength during shooting in demanding conditions. The lens and exterior of the TS10 are drop-proof from up to 5ft, cushioned by a layer of shock-resistant material for improved reinforcement. The lens has also been equipped with a supplementary damper to help absorb shock on impact. The VARIO lens is even freeze-proof to 14 degrees F.

The TS10 has a powerful 4x optical zoom that is extended to 8.4x at resolution of 3-megapixel or less with the activation of the Extra Optical Zoom function. Combining the Extra Optical Zoom with the 4x digital zoom effectively increases zoom power to an impressive maximum of 33.8x.

With numerous elements, aspherical surfaces and aspherical lenses, the TS10 is a truly advanced unit that renders images in high resolution from corner to corner.

2.7-inch Intelligent LCD Screen with AR Coating:
The TS10 features a generous 2.7-inch screen with Intelligent LCD technology and a 230,000-dot resolution. Brightness is adjusted automatically in 11 steps according to ambient light conditions. The LCD is also enhanced by an exclusive anti-reflective coating, which minimizes glare and delivers high visibility in any situation. The TS10's LCD display provides sharp, clear image playback and its large size makes sharing photos and videos with friends and family even easier.

14.1-megapixel High Resolution CCD:
With the 14.1-megapixel CCD, images stay detailed and well-defined at any reproduction size. Photos as large as A2 are reproduced with stunning clarity and sharpness. Photos can also be cropped or trimmed for a more creative finished effect.

Sonic Speed AF:
The Sonic Speed Auto Focus has been significantly re-engineered with a number of enhancements, including a higher speed actuator, more optimized algorithms and parallel software processing. Auto focus performance is faster and more accurate, and capturing moving subjects or fast action scenes can be achieved with incredible results.

Venus Engine:
Advanced signal processing from the Venus Engine delivers beautiful results, even at high sensitivity settings. The TS10 employs multi-task signal processing for every image, enabling high speed, high performance results. The Venus Engine also improves the precision of various other camera functions such as MEGA O.I.S and Intelligent ISO Control. Along with the boost in power and image processing accuracy, the Venus Engine also supports an enhanced noise reduction system that handles luminance noise and chromatic noise separately for greater overall noise suppression all the way up to ISO 1600 sensitivity at full resolution. This allows for nighttime shots or dim indoor images to be taken that have exceptional clarity and maintain low-light ambiance.

The Venus Engine is also more energy efficient than other image processors, giving users more battery life and longer shooting time on a single battery charge.

Functionality
Rugged Durability:
The DMC-TS10 was made for the outdoors. With a flat, slim profile that fits easily in a day pack or gear bag and a rugged frame that is waterproof, shockproof, dust-proof and freeze-proof, you get the freedom to go anywhere and shoot anything. Panasonic's innovative Intelligent Auto Mode and HD movie recording let you capture your wildest memories in the best possible format so that you'll never forget a moment.

The TS10 also features a unique sealed body design that keeps dust, dirt and water from entering the rubber packing around the socket or battery door, preventing serious camera malfunction. This means you can use the TS10 at the beach or on the trail without hesitation. There's also a custom silicone jacket that protects the camera body from dings and scratches.

Waterproof:
Waterproof to a depth of 10ft in accordance with the IPX8 and IP6X standard, the TS10 is perfect for a day at the beach or pool; you can even use it underwater. If the camera gets dirty or dusty, you can simply rinse it off with water, no need to worry about damaging the device or compromising performance. For pool parties, beach vacations, snorkeling or scuba diving, sailing, surfing and more, the TS10 gives you the opportunity to take photos and videos that other cameras just can't deliver.

Dust-proof:
The TS10 is also dust-proof equivalent to the IPX8 and IP6X standard so you can bring it along on a hike, while playing sports, mountain biking, climbing and more, and you'll never have to worry about dust or dirt particles entering the camera body and ruining the device.

Shockproof:
Playing hard can be hard on your camera, but the TS10 is drop-proof from as high as 5ft and has passed the MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock test standard. Whether you're securing a line, adjusting a harness or just trying to take a unique shot with one hand, most drops won't have any effect on the TS10 so you can take daring shots with confidence.

Freeze-proof:
There's no better camera than the DMC-TS10 to capture all of your favorite cold weather moments. Freeze-proof to 14 degrees F, you can bring your camera along on your next skiing, snowboarding, skating or snowmobiling trip.

Intelligent Auto (iA) Mode:
Panasonic's innovative Intelligent Auto (iA) Mode makes just about anyone an incredible photographer almost instantly. Just press the dedicated iA Mode button and your TS10 is fully automated to optimize every picture you shoot. Four different correction and detection functions are activated simultaneously, so everything from focus to exposure is taken care of no matter what the shooting conditions are like. There's no need to mess with complex settings or try to guess which controls will best serve your image. The camera does all the work for you, delivering amazing results every time.

Intelligent Scene Selector:
In iA Mode, the Intelligent Scene Selector automatically chooses the best scene mode from among the most popular options: Portrait, Night Portrait, Scenery, Night Scenery, Sunset and Macro. Every aspect of the image is analyzed, including focus distance and the brightness level of your surroundings. You won't have to manually adjust settings every time your shooting situation changes; you can take better photos while travelling or spending a long day in the great outdoors, where your environment or the lighting can change frequently. Your images will be perfectly balanced and clear, allowing you to relive those moments for years to come.

MEGA O.I.S.:
MEGA O.I.S. automatically stabilizes every image, protecting it from the blurring that can be caused by hand-shake. Every time you press the shutter button, your hand moves slightly and makes the camera vibrate; even the tiniest movement can lead to blurry images that are impossible to make out. MEGA O.I.S. samples movement at an impressive frequency of 4000 times per second so even the smallest hand motion is detected and corrected before the image is captured. MEGA O.I.S. also works on zoom and macro shots, and pictures taken in low lighting, all of which are particularly susceptible to blurring. You can capture brilliant sunsets, dim forest scenes, landscapes and action shots with confidence. Regardless of what you are doing or where you're shooting, your images will come out crisp and free from that annoying blur.

Intelligent ISO Control:
Shooting action shots can be tricky, especially when you're participating in outdoor activities. With the Intelligent ISO Control function, the TS10 enables you to capture better action shots by detecting subject movement and automatically adjusting ISO settings and shutter speed to compensate. When motion is detected, the camera instantly raises ISO levels and increases shutter speed for clear images free from motion blur. When a subject is at rest, the camera lowers ISO sensitivity and slows the shutter speed for natural looking still life images. Again, you never have to worry about manually fixing settings to get the best results; the TS10 does all the hard work for you.

Face Detection AF/AE:
Face Detection on the TS10 makes it easy to take beautiful portraits with minimum effort. Faces are automatically detected and optimized for focus and exposure to create natural, stunning results. Face Detection AF prevents the blurring that can happen when the camera focuses on an object in front of or behind your subject; Face Detection AE keeps subjects from appearing too dark when you shoot indoors or against a backlight. The TS10 can identify up to 15 faces in a single frame, even if a face is turned to the side or away from the camera, making this an ideal for large group shots, and Face Tracking stays focused on your subject until you snap the picture, even if the person moves around or changes position. There's automatic red-eye removal, too, so your portraits always look natural and attractive.

HD Video Recording:
Action photos are great, but live video is better, especially when you're hiking, climbing, skiing, sailing or biking. The TS10 records movies in full 1280 x 720 HD at 30 frames per second in Motion JPEG format, delivering dynamic and bright motion recording in any setting, from bright sunlight to evening low light.

PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.0:
Get more from your photos with Panasonic's bundled PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.0 software. It gives you quick start up and super-fast image read in, allowing you to sort and organize not only the pictures you shoot with the DMC-TS10 but also any older photos you've got stored on your computer. The same Face Recognition feature that lets you take great portraits integrates with PHOTOfunSTUDIO so you can organize your photos based on the person or people in them, giving you quick and easy access to specific pictures. You can create customized slideshows with your favorite iTunes tracks, upload photos to Facebook and put videos on YouTube in seconds, or create impressive 360-degree panoramic shots. Experience your outdoor adventure and vacation photos and videos like never before with the DMC-TS10 and PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.0.

Extended Battery Life:
With the TS10, you won't have to stop shooting or cut your day short because you've run out of camera battery charge. The energy efficient Venus Engine image processing system and the rechargeable lithium-ion battery work together to give you a much longer shooting time than other compact point-and-shoot cameras, without any extra bulk in the camera body to weigh you down. You can get up to approximately 300 shots on a single battery charge so your adventures are never interrupted.
