Excellent camera!
I had missed out on so many gym photographs/video with my old camera because the pictures turned out black with the lighting in the large gym areas, so I shopped around for a camera that would work better in that condition. I needed something that could handle gym light along with great zoom capabilities. After searching out camera specs and reviews, I concluded the Lumix DMC-ZR3 would be the best solution. I am SO happy with this purchase. I get very clear pictures as well as video and the lighting on the images is as perfect as seeing it in person. This was well worth every penny!! I no longer miss those important plays.

How do I install firmware in my camera using an SD card?Digital Still Camera Firmware Update Guide.

How long should my battery last?CIPA figures which range from 300-400 photos (depending on the camera model). CIPA measurement methods use a very controlled method to measure battery life. The procedure takes a specific number of shots at a fixed interval, with a fixed ratio of flash photos. While this method provides a standardized measurement that can be used to compare two cameras, it's far from how the camera is actually used. Life expectancy can be affected by any of the following: If the flash is used, the total number of photos can decrease by 30-40% If the camera has GPS, you can expect up to a 50% reduction in battery life. If the customer has no immediate need for GPS disable the feature in the camera's menu options. While the battery saver feature will turn the LCD panel off after a preset time (and place the camera into sleep mode) the camera still draws some power from the battery. We suggestion, turn the camera after each shot. At social gatherings, try and minimize passing the camera around the table to have others look at the photos. The LCD panel consumes ~30% of the total power.
