Stunning night shots with the 1.0-type image sensor

Equipped with a 1.0-type Back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor, LUMIX TZ300 captures clear images with minimal noise, even in low-light conditions. The larger sensor captures more light, ensuring dimly lit interiors and nighttime cityscapes are rendered bright and detailed with approximately 20.1 megapixels of high resolution.

Great for concerts and sports events

Whether at sports events or music concerts where digital interchangeable lens system cameras are not allowed, or stages that are too distant for a smartphone zoom to capture, LUMIX TZ300 brings every moment closer. Its 15x optical zoom lens* and 1.0-type BSI CMOS sensor capture precious moments with exceptional clarity. Thanks to quick startup and instant zoom response, even sudden photo opportunities are never missed.

4K technology for creative freedom in video and photos

Lifelike, stunning 4K video

LUMIX TZ300 supports 4K video recording at 3840 x 2160 resolution, allowing breathtaking travel scenes to be rendered with true-to-life detail. The 120 fps high-speed FHD video also makes it easy to show moments like a butterfly in flight or fast-paced sports action in slow motion.

Capture moments at 4K 30 fps

4K Photo mode shoots at 30 frames per second, letting you capture fast-moving scenes and save the perfect moment later as a high-resolution still. This flexibility makes it easy to capture every decisive moment.

Adjust focus after the shot

Utilizing 4K Photo technology, Post Focus allows the focus area to be selected even after shooting. Using Focus Stacking, frames captured with different focus areas can be merged into a single image with extended depth of field. This is particularly useful for macro photography, where depth of field is shallow.

Clear, steady photos and videos

Even when shooting telephoto or handheld night scenes, POWER O.I.S. effectively compensates for camera shake to deliver clear, sharp images. When recording video on the move, 5-axis HYBRID O.I.S+ further suppresses blur, ensuring smooth and stable footage.

Packed with convenient, smart features

Creative Control with 22 unique filter effects

Among the 22 filter effects are Toy Pop, which creates vivid, bright images with a toy camera look, and Dynamic Monochrome, which gives higher contrast to create impressive black-and-white images. With these options, you can create images that match your style.
