A powerful 21x optical zoom lens* draws your subjects right up close with 16.1-megapixel full-resolution. This lets you freely capture decisive sports scenes, along with the natural expressions of people and animals, and details that you can't even see with your bare eyes.
* 35mm camera equivalent: 25-525mm.
The Extra Optical Zoom function uses the center part of the CCD to extend this 21x zoom ratio to powerful 48.5x zoom at a resolution of 3-megapixel or less.
The 25mm ultra wide-angle lens* has about twice the shooting area as a standard 35mm lens. This enhances all kinds of shooting situations, like when you're photographing a group of people at an indoor party or shooting a large structure or sweeping landscape while traveling.
* Converted to standard 35mm camera equivalent, at the wide-end.
The O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) is renowned for its high correction performance against blur caused by a hand-shake. It is compensated effectively without deterioration of image quality.

In the iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode, the camera does all the work, leaving you free to compose shots and capture moments.
The O.I.S. detects hand-shake movement and compensates to produce sharp, clear images.
The Face Detection function detects faces anywhere in the frame and automatically chooses the optimal focus and exposure. The Face Detection also features the Digital Red-eye Correction (Red-eye Removal).
Once you focus on your subject, the AF Tracking automatically and continuously tracks it and keeps it in focus and proper exposure.
The Intelligent Scene Selector senses the ambient conditions and automatically selects any of the Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait*3, Night Scenery or Sunset Mode accordingly.
The Intelligent Exposure corrects the brightness in parts of the image that are too dark due to insufficient lighting, backlighting or use of the flash. This produces natural images that are close to the way they actually look to the human eye.
*1 The O.I.S. and Face Detection AF/AE are automatically turned on in the iA Mode and can be turned on or off in the Normal Picture Mode or some Scene Modes.
*2 With some subject and shooting conditions, it is just not possible to judge the best shooting details. When this happens, it is recommended that you shoot with the Scene Mode that best suits your purpose.
*3 In the iA Mode, the Night Portrait is not identified when the flash is turned off.
The DMC-LZ20 provides easy-to-use manual controls. You can set the aperture to control the depth of field, and adjust the shutter speed to freeze moving subjects or create a motion blur that exaggerates the feeling of movement.
