Overview
Highlights
Touch Your Photography
In addition to its remarkable optical zoom power of 30x*, this camera features a large number of manual functions to boost your creativity, such as a LVF (Live View Finder), a Control Ring, RAW compatibility, and Focus Peaking, all in an ultra-compact body. This enables highly detailed shooting that covers everything from ordinary snapshots to travel scenes.
30x Optical Zoom in Ultra Compact Body
Crystalizing its optical technologies, Panasonic succeeded in integrating a 24mm ultra wide-angle 30x zoom lens (35mm equivalent: 24-720mm) in a slim, flat body. It lets you capture a variety of scenes from dynamic landscapes, to people or animals far away.
Built-in Live View Finder
This camera comes equipped with a 0.2-inch LVF (Live View Finder) with 200K-dot equiv. resolution and 100% field of view. It assures stable framing and high visibility of live view images even at high magnification and under strong sunlight. As an option, it can be set to 60 fps to smoothly display fast-moving subjects.
HYBRID O.I.S.+ and Level Shot Function
The HYBRID O.I.S.+ for video recording with 5-axis correction detects and effectively compensates for the camera's 5 types of movement – horizontal, vertical, axis of rotation, vertical rotation and horizontal rotation.
The Level Shot Function detects the horizontal line of the recording image and keeps it even if the camera is tilted. It lets you take stable video even in blind recording situations, such as high angle shots.
Easy Wi-Fi Connection with NFC / QR Code
This camera integrates Wi-Fi® connectivity with NFC technology to enjoy flexible shooting style and instant image sharing with easy operation. You can connect the camera with a smartphone / tablet simply by placing them near each other and following the simple guidance. Setting-up is extremely easy and finishes within a few seconds. Even if a smartphone / tablet is incompatible with NFC, it can be easily connected to the camera just by scanning the QR code displayed on the camera monitor.
To use this feature, it is recommended that you update your “Panasonic Image App” to the latest version.
Photo Shooting Performance
18.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS Sensor
The 18.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor is integrated in the camera to realise both high quality image recording and high speed signal processing.
The superior NR (Noise Reduction) system in the Venus Engine enables deliberate noise reduction process without missing low-frequency noise in its large detection area. It results in the high sensitivity image recording even at ISO6400 (extended).
High Speed Response
High speed digital signal output technology is integrated to realise high speed consecutive shooting and full-HD video recording. It lets you shoot 10 fps in 18.1-megapixel full resolution with mechanical shutter and 5 fps with continuous AF. The actuator for AF lens motor uses a 240 fps high speed AF Drive, resulting in the higher speed AF by approx. 20% at wide and 30% at tele end*. It also contributes to the quick start-up and Light Speed AF to catch the most fleeting shooting opportunities.

Unique Filter Effects Photos and Videos
With a variety of filter effects, Creative Control lets you add artistic and original expression to photos and videos.
Creative Panorama function allows you to create dynamic vertical / horizontal panoramic photos with a unique touch just by swiveling the camera.

RAW Format Recording
This camera is capable of recording images in RAW. The software SILKYPIX Developer Studio 4.1 SE allows dramatically higher quality image development from RAW to JPEG. Even the images shot at high ISO setting can be produced sharply with minimum noise.
The software to process RAW file on PC is not bundled with DMC-ZS40(TZ60).
To do this, SILKYPIX Developer Studio is available for download at Ichikawa Soft Laboratory's website using PC connected to the Internet.

Control Functions
Control Ring
Manual control is easy to try thanks to the Control Ring, which enables direct, intuitive control over frequently used settings: zooming, aperture, shutter speed, and filter of Creative Control. Manual focusing is also available with smooth Control Ring operation.
Manual Focus / Focus Peaking
For more precise control over focusing, this camera incorporates Focus Peaking function that shows the peak of focus in MF mode. You can see the peaking of focus while monitoring the subject in live view. You can also take advantage of this function when controlling the camera with your smartphone or tablet via Wi-Fi® in both photo / video recording.
Composition Guide
It is easy to shoot a photo in good composition by just choosing the most suitable pattern of composition – Rule of Thirds Offset, Diagonal Lines, Tunnel, Radiation1, Radiation2 or S-shape – and framing the subjects along the guided lines. The well-composed image has a stunning perspective and it will look dramatically refined. This function can be used when shooting not only with the monitor but also with LVF (Live View Finder).
Level Gauge
The Level Gauge lets the camera detect the horizontal / vertical angle of view which is convenient to make level in composition.
Video Shooting Performance
1920x 1080p Full-HD Video Recording in AVCHD and MP4 Format
This camera can record high-resolution full-HD 1,920 x 1,080 50p videos in AVCHD Progressive (MPEG-4 / H.264) format. Featuring the progressive full-HD video recording capability, subjects with fast motion or fine details are reproduced even more clearly.
30x Optical Zoom in Video Recording
The powerful 30x optical zoom with 2-step Zoom function is available in video recording. The advanced image stabiliser HYBRID O.I.S.+ is integrated to suppress hand-shake vibration effectively even when shooting using high zoom. The Level Shot Function detects the horizontal line of the recording image and keeps it, even if the camera is tilted. It lets you take stable video even in blind recording scenarios like high angle shooting.
High Speed Video 100 fps in HD
You can record high-speed videos at 100 fps in HD quality. You can capture scenes that can't be seen with the naked eye, and play them back in dramatic slow motion.
Stereo Microphone
Incorporating a stereo zoom microphone, the videos also come with the high-quality stereo sound of Dolby® Digital, to offer highly realistic sound to the video. Mechanical noise caused by a zooming operation is suppressed to improve the clearness. Also, the Auto Wind Cut function is available to block out most of the noise from background wind automatically making the human voice stand out.
