Whether you’re an avid photographer with years of experience on your side or someone who very rarely takes pictures, you can achieve stunning shots with ease thanks to a wide range of innovative modes:
Stunning shots on the move: An improved POWER O.I.S capability in movie mode helps to prevent the effects of handshake, even when using high-powered zoom, assisting you to achieve blur-free footage without a tripod.

Stay in control: The TZ30’s versatile controls allow you to take shots the way you want to. Shoot with the camera’s button system, or by using its intuitive three inch wide angle touch screen LCD with all the touch controls you expect from your high quality photography equipment.

Every moment is unique and with the TZ30, your photography can be as well:
Showcase the world as you see it: With the LUMIX TZ30’s new High Dynamic Range feature, natural looking images can be captured automatically even when shooting against the light. Three images are shot consecutively at different exposure levels and overlaid to produce the image exactly as you remember it
The world in widescreen: The Panoramic Shot mode enables you to take stunning panoramic pictures simply by swivelling the camera. It works by taking pictures one after another while the camera is swivelled; when the shooting ends, consecutively shot images are joined to produce a single panoramic picture. So whether you are shooting views of Mont Blanc from a chair lift or if you want to capture the whole of the Eiffel Tower from street level, you can achieve stunning results every time
