Panasonic Zs100 Manual

I like that it has an included strap. It meets my needs for my Panasonic ZS100.

Case of very good quality. Perfect for the panasonic zs100 ... but you have to put the lens up, see the photo. The compartment accessories can easily put 2 spare batteries.

Works good as a lens cap on the Panasonic ZS100 to keep dust out of lens at times in colder weather and keep the ZS100 in coat pocket.

In 2016, the most portable 10x zoom on a 1-inch-Type sensor is Panasonic LUMIX ZS100 camera (11 oz, 25-250mm equivalent, 21mp). ZS100 is now my favorite camera which can fit a large shirt pocket. Although rival Sony RX100 version III is admittedly sharper throughout 3x zoom, Panasonic ZS100 focuses closer at more zoom settings and enormously extends optical telephoto reach. Anywhere from 3x to 10x zoom (70-250mm equivalent), the ZS100 easily beats digital cropping of Sony RX100's furthest reach (70mm in versions III & IV). ZS100's good telephoto remarkably expands your capture of wildlife and distant small subjects, more sharply than any pocketable rivals or smartphones. ZS100 captures best macro (close focus) when zoomed by 2x, near 44mm equivalent, to minimize excessive corner softness seen at wider angles of view. You must first press the Macro (Flower symbol/left toggle) button to focus closest. In contrast, Sony RX100MIII focuses closest only at 24mm equivalent (widest angle of view), lacks a dedicated macro mode, and cannot enlarge subjects as much. Panasonic ZS100 can enlarge small subjects more sharply than Sony RX100.

I purchased the ZS100 a second time, to replace the 4 year old ZS100 that's taken thousands of photos, traveled all over the world, been dropped a dozen times, and anything else short of being fully underwater. The old ZS100 still works but after hitting the pavement so many times probably isn't quite as sharp as when new. I'm surprised that Panasonic hasn't replaced this with a newer model (the ZS200 isn't a replacement, it's the same camera with a different lens) but I am guessing that sales numbers are so low due to smartphones that development of a new model might not be seen as likely to generate a sufficient profit. Nevertheless, this is a tough little camera that's simple for anyone to operate, far more versatile than a phone, and the images are pleasing and more than good enough for the typical social media or small print usage most buyers will be looking for. With development costs long ago paid off, Panasonic can sell these as long as there are buyers, and it's a lot of camera for $400. Highly recommended.

I settled on the Panasonic Lumix ZS100 after weeks of research on the incredible number and varieties of cameras available. My choice came down to portability, features, reviews, and price. I also love the weight and color of silver-red. I am so pleased by my selection. The camera is above my beginner level but with the additional assistance of an Amazon photographer's guide book on this camera I am on my road to fabulous shots and fun. This was a gift to myself for my 65th birthday.

B&H Photo provided quick service and the best deal I could find for the DMC - ZS100. The Panasonic camera has exceeded my expectations during its first two weeks of use. The DMC-ZS100 gathers in light eliminating the need for flash in most lighting conditions. The lens picks up natural coloration and the anti-shake performance is exceptional. Being of the age of shaky hands, ordering the� "REVB110B13" Hand Grip for Mid-Size Cameras (Black)" has enabled me to take stills and movies without shake. I also use the viewfinder rather than the touch screen when taking stills. Very happy with the ZS-100 and B&H service.

I bought this for my point and shoot camera Panasonic zs100. I love it! It attaches to one side of the camera an It keeps the camera in the middle of my chest and it doesn't swing around so much like the traditional style straps. You can also use it around your wrist. It has a quick release in case you want to take it off the strap. Best strap option for a point and shoot camera!

I participated in an Advocate Program on behalf of Panasonic USA. I received product samples as part of my participation. All opinions are my own. The ZS100 has 'large camera' features in a small, all-in-one package. The Leica 25-250MM lens offers incredible flexibility to shoot from wide to 'super zoom' based on my needs. I have been impressed with this camera's performance in low light situations, for portraits, landscapes, nature photography, cityscapes and even for long exposure photography. I am a big fan of the Lumix's built in viewfinder level, which allows you to ensure your portrait or landscape framed photographs are precisely level, without the use of an old-school leveling 'bubble'. The ZS100's WiFi feature allows you to control the camera through your phone or quickly download camera photos to your smartphone for posting to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I constantly use this feature to zap photos to my phone and Panasonic's iPhone Image App is simple and intuitive to use. I'm also impressed with the ZS100's ability to record 4K video, its post focus feature and its burst shooting mode. The biggest plus for this camera is its extremely small size, and versatility of features . I now am able to carry a powerful camera with me daily, as I commute to and from work in NYC to capture cityscapes and street photography. I carry this camera with me daily and shoot with it daily. Each day I continue to be impressed with the excellent image quality and resolution of the photographs it produces. For my tripod-based night photography needs, the ability to shoot down to an ISO of 80 is excellent, and offers a great range of ISO than my Sony a6000 and my Lumix DMC-G7. It still blows my mind each time I switch to manual mode - I still can't get over the powerful manual settings that Panasonic jammed into this tiny package

After comparing compact cameras, Canon G5x , Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III and the Panasonic Zs100, i have choosen ne the Zs100 from Panasonic Very nice and easy to use. Good features, the zoom is ok as i have no lenses to carry. This camera is for traveling and for a carry on camera for street photo when i do not carry my big outfit for photo expedition with tripod, lenses etc. I already have a D7100 Nikon for this purpose. This Zs 100 is my second camera and i like it a lot. It has a raw format, wich is very good. The 4k photo is very hot tu use. Very happy with it. Fast on photo shooting too.
