Panasonic Lumix ZS50 (TZ70, TZ71) Repair

The Panasonic Lumix ZS50 (Model number TZ70 and TZ71 outside of North America) was released in March 2015 and succeeded the Panasonic Lumix ZS40. This was a notable change by decreasing the megapixels to 12.1 to improve the low-light performance. Panasonic improved upon the already solid abilities of the ZS50 with the newest ZS60 model in March 2016. The major innovation of the ZS60 over the ZS50 is that the newer model now offers 4K video at 30 frames per second (fps) with a 4K photo-burst mode.

The ZS50 features a 12.1 megapixel resolution and a 30x lens zoom for clearer and more detailed pictures. This point-and-shoot camera has a proximity sensor next to its built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF) that automatically senses when you bring it up to your eye, switching from the LCD to the EVF. This improves its ease of handling and makes it a great, simple camera for on-the-go photo-taking.

There are more advanced features that have improved on the older models, such as a time-lapse mode, raw capture, a control ring around the lens, and built-in Wi-Fi capability for photo sharing with your device.

The Panasonic Lumix ZS50 has a black and silver body and a silver lens assembly. The Lumix logo is printed in black in the upper left on the front of the camera. The full name and model number are printed on the top of the camera. You can also find the model and serial numbers printed on gray or black labels on the bottom of the camera.
