Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1

With dimension 5,4 x 9,7 x 2,6 cm. makes this camera seen slender and flat. Stable when held by from head to foot his(its made from metal. Besides this camera weight just 138 grams, so that easy to be input clothes pocket.

LCD screen 2,7″ seems to predominate backside Panasonic DMC-ZR1. In right side panel screen seen switch playback knob E-Zoom, circle 4 direction, knob Display, and knob QMenu. This appearance is typical compact Panasonic camera.

On the top we will see jog dial and knob shutter which his(its marginal doubling as lever zoom, and switch on/off. Location of knob shutters which rather into according to us initially less balmily and is better if converted with position of jog dial. Because when hasty will make a picture, we often wrong depress. But after using it, we are conscious that situating which rather into that also makes position of camera is more well-balanced when held with two hands, whereas right hand buttons shutter.

Knob E-Zoom in awakening dorsal panel is our eagerness to know. Hence we also depress it. Whew, appearance in camera LCD with resolution 12,1 megapixel is directly shows object in condition of within call, shows zoom lens making a move from mode wide angle to telephoto. Really pleases. We depress it is again, and digital zoom also is presented with maximum magnification reaches 16x.

Around 2,57 seconds after switch power is shifted by dextrorse, ZR1 has ready to be used. Only needs time 2 second for him[s to start makes a picture. its(the Zoom is rather slow, requires around 3 second when depressed.

Even its(the speed still need to be improved, quality of picture as a whole very good. Result of shot seen sharply. At condition of telephoto also, object still awake sharply. Unhappily colors less accurately are sulfur. Blue color especially sees less bright. Except azure which light. Noise starts looked to be at ISO 400, with stand-out grain at ISO 800 and 1600.

Good Feature here is mode auto intelligent automatically determines Best Scene when we to aim at in condition of macro and also landscape. Power OIS works good, but of course we don't hope gets picture that is not turned tail without using tripod, especially when nighttime shot with slow aperture.

What with quality of video? Compared to quality of photograph ( silent picture), video still showing noise. Its(the profit voice recorded is at the same is heard [by] limpid, even still be mannerism wind hiss voice. Also pleases, zoom optical can be function when we to record video.
