The DMC-ZX3 features a 25mm ultra wide-angle 8x optical zoom f/3.3-5.9 Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens. Incorporating Panasonics advanced optical technologies, this lens system is comprised of 9 elements in 7 groups, with 4 aspherical lenses/6 aspherical surfaces. Panasonic achieved the worlds first incorporation of 0.3mm super thin aspherical lens, mold and mass production is difficult, into the lens unit. This makes it possible to fit the 25-200mm high performance lens in astonishing slim and compact body. Inheriting the fine rendering and outstanding quality of the Leica Elmar lens, this easy-to-carry camera delivers beautiful images any time, any place. The DMC-ZX3 features a powerful 8x optical zoom lens. This gives you highly natural expressions from people and animals that you cant get close to. It also lets you zoom in when taking movies. And its slim, compact, pocket-sized body can easily go wherever you do - for both everyday snapshots and traveling. Thanks to the Intelligent Resolution technology, the Intelligent Zoom is available with the DMC-ZX3 which extends the zoom ratio by approx. 1.3x maintaining the picture quality even combining a digital zoom. This means the 8x optical can virtually extend to 10x equivalent. Furthermore, the Extra Optical Zoom function that extends zoom power to 16.9x by using the center part of the large CCD to bring subjects even closer. The Sonic Speed AF system in the DMC-ZX3 has a maximum speed of approx. 0.26 second (wide-end)/0.31 second (tele-end) for auto focusing. It includes numerous re-engineering enhancements, including a higher-speed actuator, optimized algorithms and parallel software processing. The result is fast and accurate AF performance. You can quickly get moving subjects in focus, such as when youre shooting sports scenes. The image processing technology "Intelligent Resolution" is incorporated in the Venus Engine HD II for the DMC-ZX3. With the Intelligent Resolution technology, 3 areas-outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation areas are automatically detected and optimum signal processes are performed to each area. Apart from the uniform enhancement of sharpness, the innovative technology Intelligent Resolution precisely performs signal processing pixel by pixel in the most effective way for it. As a result, images are naturally clear and crisp in both photo and movie recording.
