Throw in the powerful 15x optical zoom (and a robust image-stabilization system) and you get a the 35mm-film camera equivalent of a 24mm-360mm zoom range.Īlthough you have to make some compromises - the camera's widest aperture is f/3.3 and it lacks a hot shoe - the ZS200 strikes a great balance for those who need a travel camera that's adaptable for situation.

The ZS200's broad selection of features and special settings (particularly its post focus and macro settings) combined with the 1-inch MOS sensor and compact size, make this a very versatile and portable camera. That's quite a bit less than what you can capture with a pricey camera like the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III, which lets you shoot about 240 minutes of HD video (the G1 X Mark III does not shoot in 4K). Panasonic claims that the ZS200 can capture 370 photos when using the touch-screen display in live view and 250 photos when using the electronic viewfinder, which are both more than the 200 images you can capture with a bridge camera like the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III.Īccording to Panasonic, the camera can shoot approximately 100 minutes of HD-resolution video (although each HD-resolution clip has a limit of 50 minutes) or 90 minutes of 4K-resolution video (again, each 4K-resolution clip has a limit of 45 minutes). If only all mobile camera apps worked this smoothly.

The 4K photo function can be used in three different modes, and 4K video delivers a far more intense viewing experience that is four times larger than full HD, resulting in a much higher level of detail. Compatible models S series: DC-S1 / S1R / S1H / S5 / BS1H G series: DC-G100 / G110 / GH5M2 / BGH1 / GH6 Remote recording and image transfer functions can be used with DC-GH5 / GH5S / G9. This app lets you control a Panasonic Wi-Fi camera via a smartphone. I liked how I only needed to press the Wi-Fi function button on the display to initiate the connection to my phone. The Panasonic LUMIX DMC FZ300K long zoom digital camera offers 4K video features and a Leica DC lens with 24x zoom and a bright F2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range. Download Panasonic LUMIX Sync and enjoy it on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. In fact, it took only minutes before I was able to use the app to remotely control the camera from my phone or transfer a photo or a video to my iPhone. Panasonic's wireless app, the Panasonic Image App (which I set up using my iPhone 7) allowed me to get up and running very quickly.

Most of my clips looked smooth and displayed little, if any, jitter.

Panasonic is well-known for its optical image-stabilization system, which worked well on the ZS200.
#PANASONIC LUMIX APP SOFTWARE#
Unlike more all-in-one video-streaming/webcam software, the Lumix Steaming (Beta) software is essentially a USB tethering app with remote live view capabilities an additional desktop streaming or recording application is required for video streaming.I found the camera also did a fine job adjusting for exposure and focus. Built on their existing Lumix Tether software, this new streaming application allows for USB-based tethering of select Lumix mirrorless cameras but allows for a remote, clean "Live View" of the camera's screen - without GUI overlays - for video-streaming purposes. Last month Panasonic released a beta version of a new Lumix Streaming app for Windows PCs, and today they've announced and released a beta version for macOS users as well. Panasonic has announced a handful of software announcements designed to extend and improve the functionality of a variety of Lumix mirrorless cameras, including a Mac version of their tethered streaming software, an upcoming new piece of software designed specifically for webcam functionality, as well as an upcoming firmware update.
