Panasonic ZS99 Digital Camera with Basic Bundle (Silver)

The Panasonic ZS99 Digital Camera with Basic Bundle (Silver) built-in flash covers a variety of ranges under ISO auto. If you are shooting under a wide angle, the flash will cover between 0.6 and 5.6 m. When using the telephoto, the flash will cover a range of 2 to 2.9 m.

No, the Panasonic ZS99 camera is not going to be compatible with the Lumix Lab app. It uses the Panasonic Image App instead. It is unknown at this point in time if the Panasonic ZS99 will be able to download LUTs into the camera or not.

The Panasonic ZS99 Digital Camera (Black) uses contrast detect autofocus.

The Panasonic ZS99 Digital Camera (Black) (B&H# PADCZS99K) does continue in the style of certain other Panasonic (and other) cameras by locating the flash on the right side of the camera. (By the “right side” I mean on the right side from the perspective of the photographer who is actually behind the camera.) Having said that, every possible flash location (e.g. above, on the side, etc.) does carry with it both advantages and disadvantages. While we cannot speak for Panasonic's design team, we have found that the chosen location is an option that works well for many users and in many situations. For example, the fact that the flash is integrated into the body (and not sticking out and above the camera when being used) may reduce the chance of it being damaged. Also, the off-axis location of the flash definitely reduces visible red eye in the photos. Moreover, that location reduces the incidence of a shadow being cast by the lens on subjects that are photographed in close proximity while the lens is fully extended. Finally, its side location results in more light from the flash reaching the area right in front of the lens, a feature that is especially important when taking close-up photos in (near) macro mode when subjects may be as close as 1.2" (3cm) from the lens' front element.

The Panasonic ZS99 Digital Camera is very fast and has a quick shutter reaction time.

The flash on the Panasonic ZS99 Digital Camera with Basic Bundle (Black) is smaller and has a little less output and reach than the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II and Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III.

The Panasonic ZS99 does not have a human detect auto focus feature.

The Panasonic ZS99 Digital Camera (Black) has a front built-in flash. There is no viewfinder in this unit. Panasonic Lumix just released the camera. It has a higher video and photo performance than the performance of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V Digital Camera, which was released approximately 9 years ago.
