wide-angle 16x optical zoom LEICA DC lens(35mm camera equivalent:
24-384mm), including Nano Surface Coating technology which
dramatically reduces ghost and flare. The 16x optical zoom is also
available in movie recording. The 24mm wide-angle lens captures

comes in handy when shooting while walking or playing with children.
The DMC-TZ20 can also record high-speed movie in QVGA to capture the
motion of a subject the naked eyes cannot see.
The DMC-TZ20 features a built-in GPS
unit. The location data where the photo was taken is embedded with
its latitude and longitude is automatically in the EXIF data. These
geo-tagged images can be pinpointed on the maps of social media
internet maps. The DMC-TZ20 also shows the name of the county,
state, city, and landmarks using the internal data to give you
real-time information of the place when taking photos. Images with
the location names are automatically sorted in the virtual folder
alphabetically in the camera allowing quick reach.

touch-screen LCD with 460,000-dot resolution. While shooting, Auto
Focus is immediately set to the subject by just touching it on the
LCD and you can even release the shutter. In addition, the Touch
Zoom function gives you quick and easy control. While playing back,
you can quickly select an image to view by scrolling images. The
DMC-TZ20 also features Intelligent LCD with a wide-viewing angle,
which automatically adjusts the screen brightness in 11 steps as the
surrounding brightness level changes.
The 3D Photo Mode produces a 3D image
in the camera. Take 20 panning shots and the camera automatically
selects two most suitable images to synthesize a 3D composite. The
3D image can be viewed in 3D via the 3D Image Viewer of Panasonic
VIERA TV. In the iA Mode, advanced detection functions work
automatically and simultaneously to optimize your settings, making
it easier than ever to take beautiful images. The new Intelligent
Handheld Night Shot Mode produces a blur-less illuminated night shot
without using a tripod.
