According to the following conditions, different scene types may be determined for the same subject. Face contrast, conditions of subject (size, distance, coloring, movement), zoom ratio, sunset, sunrise, low brightness, jitter If desired scene type is not selected, 5 we recommend manually selecting the appropriate recording mode.

What is Extended optical zoom (EZ)? If, for example, set to 3M (equivalent to 3 million pixels), a picture will only be taken of a 3M-sized central part of a 9 M (equivalent to 9.1 million pixels) 2 area, meaning that the picture can be enlarged further.

DMC-TZ4 : 8M VQT1P79

The enlargement ratio displayed in the bar on screen is an estimate. In certain recording modes, TELE MACRO function (P.40) is activated when maximum zoom ratio is reached. A greater degree of distortion may be generated by taking wider-angled pictures of close objects, while using more telescopic zoom may result in more coloring appearing around the outlines of objects. The camera may make a rattling noise and vibrate when the zoom lever is operated this is not a fault. Extended optical zoom cannot be used in the following cases: (MOTION PICTURE mode), HIGH SENS., HI-SPEED BURST, and MULTI ASPECT (DMC-TZ5 only) scene modes When using extended optical zoom, zoom movement may stop momentarily near maximum W (1x), but this is not a fault. ZOOM RESUME (P.25) allows zoom ratio to be memorized even if power is turned off.

CONTINUOUS AF

Focus is continually aligned according to movement of subject even when shutter button is not pressed. (Increases battery consumption)
Focus is fixed from first picture. When (Burst) is selected, the exposure and white balance are fixed to the settings for the first picture. When is selected, exposure and white balance is adjusted for each picture. Burst speed may be reduced if SENSITIVITY is set to high, or if shutter speed is reduced in darker locations. When burst setting is use, flash is prevented from operating, and auto bracket setting is canceled. Settings will be stored even if power is turned off. When using BURST while following a moving subject in locations with major differences in brightness (e.g. indoor to outdoor), exposure stabilization may require a little time, and optimal exposure may not be achieved. Auto review performed regardless of AUTO REVIEW setting. Using the HI-SPEED BURST scene mode allows a faster succession of photographs to be taken (P.49).
