These newest Lumix TZ cameras also includes Advanced Intelligent Auto (iA) mode combines Panasonic’s Intelligent Exposure function, which corrects lighting differences; face detection; Intelligent ISO, which uses motion detection to track subject motion and adjust ISO and shutter speed settings accordingly; Intelligent Scene Selector, which chooses the mode that best fits the situation; as well as Quick AF continuous autofocus, helping users to get great photoshots in every situation.

In addition, the company also includes the new high-performance image-processing LSI, the Venus Engine IV to Lumix TZ4 and TZ5, aiming for rendering even higher-quality images thanks to its more advanced signal processing technology.
