Download Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Sample AVCHD Lite Video Featuring 12x Zoom

November 29th, 2009 > Leave a comment

Here is another AVCHD Lite video sample for free download, from the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3. This sample video, available as an unedited MTS file, features the 12x zoom capability of the camera; the Panasonic ZS3 can zoom while recording video. The video begins at the widest angle, at 1x zoom, then zooms in at its top speed until it reaches the maximum 12x zoom. This should give a good idea of the high picture quality that is maintained throughout the zooming up through the maximum 12x zoom, as well as the speed and smoothness of the zoom function. The video is recorded handheld, without a tripod.

Under less-than-perfect conditions, or low light conditions, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 may take photos that have too much noise in them, or at least more than you would like. Noise basically refers to imperfections in the photo that give the photo a grainy appearance, that is not as sharp or as smooth as would be ideal. Noise can affect all types and models of digital cameras, so the noise problem and noise reduction solution described here can be applied to photos taken by any camera, though the level of success may vary depending on the original photo quality.

Some basic photo post-processing can make your photographs look better. Using the free demo version of Neat Image noise reduction software, JPEG photos taken with the Panasonic ZS3 (or any other camera) can be improved or cleaned-up by following a simple process.
