Intelligent Zoom

Enabled when [i.Zoom] in the [Rec] menu is set to [ON].

You can zoom in up to twice the original zoom magnification while minimising the deterioration 

of the image quality.
Digital Zoom

This function works when [Digital Zoom] in the [Rec] menu is set to [ON].

(DMC-TZ57)

Although the image quality deteriorates every time you zoom in further, you can zoom in up to 

four times the original zoom magnification.

Although the image quality deteriorates every time you zoom in further, you can zoom in up to 

twice the original zoom magnification.

A picture taken with the camera is saved as picture data of up to approximately 16 million pixels.

The smaller the number of pixels is, the greater the number of recordable pictures will be.

When recording to the built-in memory, [Rec Quality] is fixed to [VGA].

•

The maximum continuous recordable time of a motion picture is 29 minutes and 59 seconds, 

which is equivalent to a file size of approximately 4 GB. 

You can check the recordable time on the screen. (With [FHD], the file size becomes larger,

•

The maximum continuous recordable time of a motion picture is 29 minutes and 59 seconds, 

which is equivalent to a file size of approximately 4 GB. 

You can check the recordable time on the screen. (With [FHD], the file size becomes larger,
