The Lumix DC-TZ90 also offers 4K video recording capabilities, enabling users to capture footage with exceptional clarity. It has a built-in electronic viewfinder, which provides a clear and accurate representation of the scene being photographed. The camera’s 3.0-inch touchscreen LCD display can be tilted upwards to facilitate selfie-taking and low-angle shooting.

Lenses – The lens has dust inside that may affect images. The rubber zoom/focus ring is coming away from the barrel of the lens.

The ultra-wide-angle 24mm lens is superbly versatile, extending to 720mm at the telephoto end. It is a LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens, and passes Leica’s stringent standards resulting in crisp clarity and minimum distortion and flare. Power O.I.S is on hand to help keep your shots sharp, no matter which focal length you’re using, too. All of the sample images in this review were taken using the 20 megapixel Fine JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 7Mb. Photo is an innovative system which is useful for extracting stills of fast moving subjects. However, it’s fair to say that it works best with Panasonic’s larger sensor cameras, such as its range of compact system cameras. With the Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ90, even when shooting in bright light, the extracted stills can look a little smudgy.

There’s a whole host of other exciting and useful features for the TZ90. Create beautiful night shots using the Light Composition mode, while Creative Filters give your images (including panoramic shots) a fun, dramatic or artistic effect.For [4K] video output, use an HDMI cable that has the HDMI logo on it, and that is described as"4K compatible". A new 20.3-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor is a boost in resolution from the TZ90’s predecessor, the TZ80 (18.1-megapixels). Combined with a high-power Venus processing engine, you can be assured of high image quality in a range of scenarios, even low light. Sample Photos - Exposure is reliable, and detail is quite good, however, colour reproduction may not be to everyone's tastes, with quite muted colours compared to the competition. Noise is visible, even when shooting at the lowest ISO speeds when viewing images at 100%. Results were better when shooting in sunny conditions. Photos with flash show no signs of red-eye. Dynamic range is quite good, with the camera avoiding over-exposure where possible. You can use the iDynamic option or HDR option to record extended dynamic range in images. Screen quality is excellent with a gapless design, with good colour and a clear display. It's also possible to view the screen outdoors in bright sunlight. You can use the touchscreen to set the focus point, right into the very corners of the frame. Face/eye detection is particularly useful when taking photos of people, with the camera correctly focusing on the subject's eyes. The Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ90 is a compact point-and-shoot camera that is known for its impressive zoom capabilities. This camera is equipped with a Leica lens that has a 30x optical zoom, which allows users to capture subjects from a distance. Additionally, the lens is paired with Optical Image Stabilisation, which reduces the impact of camera shake, resulting in sharper photos.

LVF (Live View Finder) (1,166k dots equiv.), Field of View: Approx. 100%, Lens 19.6x/Magnification: Approx. 2.59x / 0.46x (35 mm camera equivalent) With the Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ90 it is possible to record videos in 4K. But that's not all: like other models in this series, it offers the option of using the Photo 4K mode. This consists of the possibility to choose a frame from a video recorded at 30fp and save it as an 8 megapixel image. Add to this the 180° tilting screen and the result is the ability to take high resolution selfies. 30x Optical Zoom The time available for recording varies depending on the environment, the interval between recordings, and the manner of use.
