    The Quintessential Travel Camera

    The new LUMIX ZS50 is the ultimate camera for any destination, with every feature built for the traveler in you. From architectural patterns to subtle color gradations in sunsets, the ZS50 makes it easy to capture every color and detail in any light, anywhere. And its slim, compact size makes it ideal for slipping into your pocket or a bag for quick, easy access.

    Get closer with the 30x Zoom LEICA Lens

    Bring every subject in closer and more clearly with the Leica 24mm DC Vario-Elmar lens and durable 30x optical zoom.

    Stunning in Low Light — High Sensitivity MOS Sensor

    Even in low-light environments, you can capture more detail and less image noise with the new, larger pixel-size High Sensitivity MOS sensor and Venus Engine image processor. And enjoy stunning photos and videos.

    See Clearer With The Live View Finder

    Wherever your travels take you, the precision Live View Finder helps get the shot. Perfect for image framing when light conditions make using the LED screen difficult, the eye sensor automatically detects viewing preference and switches to the LVF. Its high 1.166k-dot resolution, with approximately 100% color reproduction, delivers stable framing and superb visibility, in any light condition.

    Be In Control — Control Ring

    The lens-mounted Control Ring provides easier manual control for exposure, zoom and focus, leaving you free to concentrate on shutter operation. Intuitive design, precise focusing and smooth, silent operation gives you total control of every photo and video you create.

    Experience The Action — High Speed Response

    No matter how fast your subject moves, the ZS50 shoots just as fast with Light Speed Auto Focus and 10fps High Speed Burst Shooting for perfectly focused images every time.

    Showtime in Full HD

    Record Full HD videos in AVCHD or MP4 format. And enjoy smooth, colorful, high- resolution playback on your PC or wide- screen TV. High Speed Video records with 100fps in HD resolution and 200fps in VGA. With high-speed video, you can and record any fast-moving action, and enjoy later in crystal-clear slow motion.

    Precision Is Key — Manual Focus Peaking

    Compose the perfect shot with precision. The manual control ring enables smooth operation of the Focus Peaking function. And the large LCD displays the area of focus and depth of field to let you concentrate on composition.

    RAW Format Recording

    Shoot in RAW format to capture greater detail. Your image data retains the original color and light information captured by camera's sensor, with only minimal processing. And you can directly edit high-quality images for amazing results.

    Reveal More Details with Macro Shots

    Clearly capture even the most intricate details in any subject with up-close 3cm macro shooting.

    Keep it Steady with HYBRID O.I.S.

    HYBRID O.I.S.+ minimizes blur and ensures level images. The 5-axis Optical Image Stabilizer automatically detects and compensates for blurring, based on the camera’s five types of movement. When shooting, Level Shot senses and corrects the horizontal line of recording, even when the camera is tilted. The result is clear, perfectly leveled photos and video

    Time-Lapse Recording

    Position the camera to record the natural drama of a rising sun, setting moon or flowers coming into bloom. Simply set the start time, shooting interval and the number of images needed. The camera takes care of the rest automatically, in Full HD quality.
