Picture Quality / Size Options (7.75)
The Panasonic TZ3 has plenty of picture options, which are accessed through the main menu. Picture size depends on one of the three selected aspect ratio options:



4:3
3072 x 2304, 2560 x 1920, 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, 640 x 480
3:2
3216 x 2144, 2560 x 1712, 2048 x 1360
16: 9
3328 x 1872, 2560 x 1440, 1920 x 1080

Image size options are selectable by the user on the TZ3. Users can select files sizes up to its full 7-megapixels or a smaller resolution for e-mailing or uploading to the Web. Users also can choose between JPEG Fine or Standard picture quality for compression.

Picture Effects Mode (7.5)
Panasonic TZ3 users who want to experiment with shooting will be able to do so with the camera’s picture effects modes, available for still and video recordings. Color modes include Standard, Natural, Vivid, Cool, Warm, Black and White, and Sepia. This allows a user to shoot in black-and-white without having to convert color after capture through a computer editing program. There isn’t a dedicated contrast or hue mode, but the camera does offer the Vivid option to intensify color.
