Drop an RW2 RAW file from your Panasonic Lumix TZ90 (sold as ZS70 in North America) and get the exact shutter actuation count in seconds — processed entirely in your browser, never uploaded anywhere.
Check Shutter Count →The Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ90 (2017), sold as the ZS70 in North America and TZ91 in some European markets, is a 20.3 MP travel zoom compact with a 30× optical zoom lens covering 24–720mm equivalent. Its headline feature is a built-in 0.2-inch 1.166M-dot electronic viewfinder — the first in the TZ/ZS travel zoom series — alongside 4K video capture and Panasonic's Dual IS 2 stabilisation. The TZ90 saves RAW files in RW2 format; the shutter count is stored in the Panasonic MakerNote of each RW2 file, and is also readable directly in the camera's Setup menu.
| Model | Release | Sensor | Zoom Range | EVF | Est. Shutter Life |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Panasonic TZ90 / ZS70 | 2017 | 20.3 MP 1/2.3" | 24–720mm (30×) | Yes | ~100,000 |
| Panasonic TZ100 / ZS100 | 2016 | 20.1 MP 1-inch | 25–250mm (10×) | Yes | ~100,000 |
| Panasonic TZ200 / ZS200 | 2018 | 20.1 MP 1-inch | 24–360mm (15×) | Yes | ~100,000 |
Travel zoom compacts used for holiday and day-trip photography typically accumulate moderate counts over several years of use. A TZ90 used as a primary travel camera may have 20,000–50,000 actuations after 3–4 years.
| Actuation Count | % of Est. Life | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| 0 – 10,000 | 0 – 10 % | Very low use — near new |
| 10,000 – 30,000 | 10 – 30 % | Low use — good condition |
| 30,000 – 60,000 | 30 – 60 % | Moderate use — typical travel camera |
| 60,000 – 85,000 | 60 – 85 % | High use — negotiate on price |
| 85,000 + | 85 %+ | Near or past estimated life — shutter risk |
The Panasonic Lumix TZ90 writes RW2 RAW files with a standard Panasonic MakerNote block. ShutterCount reads the shutter count from the Panasonic MakerNote — the same method used across all Lumix RW2 cameras, from the G1 to the GH7. All processing happens locally in your browser; the RW2 file is never uploaded anywhere.
The TZ90 (2017) and TZ100 (2016) introduced EVFs to the TZ series after years of customer requests. In bright sunlight, the tilting 3-inch LCD on earlier TZ models was difficult to use; the EVF solves this without requiring an accessory hotshoe viewfinder. The TZ90's 0.2-inch 1.166M-dot EVF is small but usable, making it the recommended choice over the TZ80 and earlier for outdoor travel photography.
Yes. The TZ90 records 4K UHD video at 25 or 30 fps. The 4K video mode uses electronic shutter readout and does not increment the mechanical shutter counter. Only still photos shot with the mechanical shutter are counted.
Set the camera to RAW mode, shoot an RW2 file, then drop it into shuttercount.app. Or check via the camera Setup menu under Shutter Count.
Panasonic does not officially publish this figure. The estimated lifespan is approximately 100,000 actuations.
Yes. The Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ90 and Lumix DC-ZS70 are the same camera sold under different regional names: TZ90 in Europe and Japan, ZS70 in North America. Both use RW2 RAW format and have identical sensor, lens, and shutter specifications.
At 30,000 actuations the TZ90 has used approximately 30% of its estimated lifespan — moderate use with substantial life remaining. A fair condition for a used body at the right price.
