| Features |
| AVCHD Lite | | The ZS3 records HD motion images with 1280 x 720-pixel resolution. It uses the AVCHD Lite (MPEG-4/ H.264), which achieves higher image quality and stores less data than the conventional Motion JPEG.
|
| Zoom-in movie | | You can zoom in and out while shooting motion images.
|
| Stereo mic | | The world's first compact camera to feature Dolby Digital Stereo Creator, the ZS3 records dynamic, true-to-life audio that brings out the power of the HD images.
|
| Wind cut function | | Minimizes the distracting sound you hear from the wind blowing into the mic.
|
| PHOTOfunSTUDIO 3.0 HD Edition | | This software (included with the camera) makes it easy to view and edit the AVCHD Lite motion images.
|
| HDMI output and VIERA Link | | Just connect the camera to an HDTV using a single HDMI mini cable (purchased separately), and it's even easy to enjoy slideshow in which both still and motion images integrated in the recorded timeline. If you have a VIERA TV, you can control the camera's playback functions with VIERA's remote control unit.
|
| iA mode | | Just set the camera to iA mode, aim and shoot. The camera does all the rest. It automatically determines the most suitable Scene mode and helps correct blurring, focus, and brightness problems. With iA mode, it's easy to get beautiful, clear results.
|
| 25mm wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens | | The ZS3 packs a LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 12x optical zoom into a compact body. This versatile photographic tool lets you shoot everything from sweeping vistas at the 25mm wide-angle setting to dynamic 300mm telephoto shots.
