The following images were taken with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ18 / ZS8. The Lumix TZ18 / ZS8 was set to 14M Fine JPEG quality, Auto White Balance and Multi metering. Optical Image Stabilisation was enabled for all these handheld images.

The individual exposure mode, file sizes, shutter speeds, aperture, ISO and lens focal length are listed for each image. A number of the images can be downloaded in their original format; click the photo to access the files (where available) at flickr. These files are for personal evaluation only and cannot be used in another publication or website without permission. Note the firmware is reported in these images as v0.4, but Panasonic submitted the camera as a fully reviewable model, indicating final image quality.
