Panasonic's Lumix DMC-TS3, specifically designed for active users who
want to capture high-quality photos and 1920 x 1080 full-High Definition
videos, incorporating a powerful rugged design and new outdoor-friendly
features, such as a built-in GPS function, a compass, altimeter and
barometer. The new 12.1-megapixel Lumix TS3 further strengthens its
toughness, when compared to its Lumix TS2 predecessor, and is now
waterproof to approximately 40 feet (12m); shockproof to approximately
6.6 feet (2m); freezeproof to 14ºF (-10 degrees C); and dustproof.
The Panasonic Lumix TS3 also features the new Panasonic 3D Photo mode,
which produces a realistic 3D photo by taking 20 consecutive photos and
overlays the two best to create a 3D image that can then be played on a
Panasonic VIERA 3D HDTV. The format of 3D images is compatible with MPO,
and can also be played back on other MPO-compatible equipment such as a
televisions, digital photo frames and printers. Panasonic also adds
the Lumix Image Uploader, for seamless and instant sharing via Facebook
(for digital photos) or YouTube (for videos). Users can checkmark the
photo or video files they want to share, connect it to a PC with the
included USB cable or by inserting the SD Memory Card directly into the
PC's SD Card slot, and then the uploading automatically launches with an
easy-to-follow menu option.
The Panasonic Lumix TS3 features a
28mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens, complete with a folded
optics design. With an optical zoom up to 4.6x, the Lumix TS3 works even
while shooting video--giving the user the flexibility for a variety of
different scenes--especially underwater, where movement is often
restricted and the angle of view becomes important for composing shots.
Thanks to the newly incorporated Intelligent Resolution technology, the
Intelligent Zoom is available and extends the zoom to 6x equivalent.
Empowered by a newly developed 12.1-megapixel Hi-Speed CCD sensor, the
Lumix TS3 is compatible with high-speed, large-capacity signal
processing required for 1920 x 1080 full-HD AVCHD video recording and
high speed continuous shooting. The advanced image processor, the Venus
Engine FHD, powers Panasonic's Intelligent Resolution and the Sonic
Speed AF, allows for a shutter release time lag as short as
approximately 0.005 second. Beyond full-HD video recording capabilities,
Lumix TS3 excels in shooting videos with a Dolby Digital Creator so
audio quality is also high. The built-in LED light greatly supports
shooting in dark situations. The Lumix TS3 also features a 2.7-inch,
230,000-dot Intelligent LCD screen with wide-viewing angle and
Anti-Reflection coating.
Panasonic's iA Mode, a suite of
technologies that engage automatically, has evolved for more powerful
image stabilization while video recording and taking still photos with
Active Mode which boosts POWER OIS to excel in suppressing blur when
recording videos at wide angle while walking. Other features of iA
include: POWER OIS, Face Recognition, Face Detection, AF Tracking,
Intelligent ISO Control, Intelligent Scene Selector and Intelligent
Exposure. With iA, taking beautiful photos is possible for users at any
skill level. In addition, the Intelligent Resolution technology is
always activated in the iA mode, which helps produce even clearer photos
by precisely performing signal processing pixel by pixel to help ensure
clear and sharp images.
The newly-integrated GPS function
shows the name of the Country/Region, State/Prov./County,
County/Township, City/Town/Village and Landmark by using the internal
data to give users details on where the photos or videos were taken.
The area information covers 203 countries or regions for global users.
Plus, more than 1,000,000 landmarks over 78 countries or regions are in
the database. Using the included software PHOTOfunSTUDIO 6.1 HD Lite
Edition, photos and videos can be searched by location and names. The
Lumix TS3 also features an internal clock that automatically adjusts to
the local time when GPS is enabled--a handy feature for travelers.
