  • General
    • Brand: Panasonic
    • Model Number: DC-ZS70K
    • Product Name: LUMIX DC-ZS70 20.3-Megapixel Digital Camera
    • Color: Black
    • Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Image Sensor Size: Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm)
    • Image Resolution (Display): 5184 x 3888 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
    • Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
    • Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
    • Optical Zoom: 30x (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
    • Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
    • Image File Format(s): AVCHD, RAW, JPEG, MP4, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
  • Focus
    • Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
    • Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): false (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: Still images: 4-1/2000 sec (mechanical shutter), 1-1/16000 sec (electronic shutter), Artistic nightscape: 30 sec; Motion pictures: 1/30-1/16000 sec, 1/2-1/16000 sec (Creative video M mode/MF mode) (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
    • Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
    • Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
    • Self Timer: true
    • Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds
    • Shooting Modes: Intelligent Auto, P, A, S, M, Creative Video, C (Custom), Panorama Shot, Scene Guide, Creative Control (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
    • Panorama Mode: true
    • Scene Modes: Clear Portrait, Silky Skin, Backlit Softness, Clear in Backlight, Relaxing Tone, Sweet Child's Face, Distinct Scenery, Bright Blue Sky, Romantic, VividSunset Glow, Vivid Sunset Glow, Glistening Water, Clear Nightscape, Cool Night Sky, Warm Glowing Nightscape, Artistic Nightscape, Glittering Illuminations, Handheld Night Shot and more (Exposure modes with predetermined optimal settings for capturing specific scenes. Examples include Landcape, Portrait, and Sports modes.)
    • White Balance Modes: Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Shade, Incandescent, Flash, White Set 1, White Set 2, White Set 3, White Set 4, Color Temperature (2-axis adjustable) (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
    • Effective Pixels: 20.3 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Lens
    • In-Lens Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
  • Flash
    • Flash Modes: Automatic, Forced, Off, Red-eye reduction, Slow sync (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
    • Integrated Flash: true
  • Display
    • Display Type: TFT-LCD
    • Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Screen Resolution: 1040k dots (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
    • Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
    • Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)

Q: Does the camera have a view finder you can use in additional to the lcd screen?

A: Yes it does, which is why I am highly considering purchasing this camera.

Q: Hello! I bought this camera to use for selfies. I am used to using my phone to take pictures where the images are flipped. Is there a way to flip the screen on this camera so it the photos are mirrored?

A: I'm not sure I understand your question, exactly, but I'll tell what I know about taking selfies with this camera (which I haven't done). The LED view screen on the back can be flipped up so you can point the camera at yourself and see what the camera sees, allowing you to frame your selfie and be sure it's in focus. I don't know if that helps, but I hope so.

Q: Is the charger also for 120/240V?

A: Yes it’s 120/240 50/60 HZ. My camera was purchased in the US and requires a power adapter plug for most international destinations.

Q: Does the camera have built in wifi?

A: Yes. You can access it from the menu or using the Fn tab on the touch screen.

Q: Does this camera have a wall charger?

A: It has a USB wall charger and 22 inch cord.

Q: What is the size and wt of this camera. Is it a small compact that will fit in purse or large pocket?

A: It will easily fit in a woman's purse. It is a bit heavy compared to some of the expensive models but I think that means it's very well-built

Q: Is the 4k video resolution Interpolated 4k resolution?

A: Thank you for your your question. The answer is no.
