Overview

The DMC-TS3 (FT3) is shockproof, waterproof, dustproof and freezeproof in design with the capability to record high-definition movie in AVCHD format. Featuring a 28mm wide-angle lens, the iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode and GPS function, this versatile camera lets you capture your moments no matter what the intended shooting terrain is. Swim along with tropical fish and capture shots of beautiful coral reefs, or take recordings of your friends around a camp fire. The DMC-TS3 (FT3) is an extremely versatile camera that you can take with you wherever the action calls.

• 12.1 Megapixel
• 2.7" LCD Screen
• 4.6X Optical Zoom
• Full HD video
• SHOCKPROOF (2m)
• WATERPROOF (12m)
• FREEZEPROOF (-10°C)
• DUSTPROOF

The LUMIX GPS displays not only latitudes and longitudes, but also the area information that covers 203 countries or regions and the landmark information of over 1,000,000 locations in 82 countries or regions.

The DMC-TS3 (FT3) has recording capability of full HD 1,920 x 1,080 movies in AVCHD format. The AVCHD format features almost doubling the recording time in HD quality compared with conventional Motion JPEG.

Intelligent Resolution precisely optimizes signal processing to give the entire image outstandingly natural clarity and fine detail. As a result, images are naturally clear and crisp in movies as well as in photos.

The newly added 3D Photo Mode produces a 3D image in the camera. The image-processing method used by LUMIX records beautiful images with less distortion or visible image links. Take 20 panning shots and the camera automatically selects the two most suitable images – one for the right eye and one for the left eye – to synthesize a 3D composite.
