Drop an RW2 RAW file from your Panasonic Lumix TZ95 (sold as ZS80 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-TZ95 (2019), sold as the ZS80 in North America, is a 20.3 MP travel zoom compact with a 30× optical zoom lens covering 24–720mm equivalent. It succeeds the TZ90 / ZS70 with a higher-resolution 1.24M-dot rear touchscreen, improved 4K wireless live view tethering, and better low-light phase-detect autofocus, while retaining the built-in 0.2-inch electronic viewfinder introduced on the TZ90. The TZ95 saves RAW files in RW2 format; the shutter count is stored in the Panasonic MakerNote of each RW2 file, and is also accessible in the camera's Setup menu.
| Model | Release | Sensor | Zoom | EVF | Est. Shutter Life |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Panasonic TZ95 / ZS80 | 2019 | 20.3 MP 1/2.3" | 24–720mm (30×) | Yes | ~100,000 |
| Panasonic TZ90 / ZS70 | 2017 | 20.3 MP 1/2.3" | 24–720mm (30×) | Yes | ~100,000 |
| Panasonic TZ200 / ZS200 | 2018 | 20.1 MP 1-inch | 24–360mm (15×) | Yes | ~100,000 |
| Panasonic TZ80 / ZS60 | 2016 | 18.1 MP 1/2.3" | 24–720mm (30×) | No | ~100,000 |
Travel zoom compacts accumulate actuations more slowly than interchangeable-lens cameras used in professional or sports settings. A TZ95 serving as a primary holiday and day-trip camera may reach 20,000–50,000 actuations over several years of use.
| 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 TZ95 writes RW2 RAW files with a standard Panasonic MakerNote block. ShutterCount reads the shutter count from this 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 TZ95 (2019) is a refinement of the TZ90 (2017) rather than a major generational step. Both are 20.3 MP 30× travel zooms with EVF. The TZ95 upgrades the rear LCD from 1.04M to 1.24M dots, adds 4K wireless tethering to a PC via Lumix Sync, and improves autofocus tracking in low light. The optical formula, sensor dimensions, and shutter mechanism are unchanged. For shutter count purposes, both cameras behave identically — RW2 RAW, Panasonic MakerNote.
Yes. The TZ95 saves in RW2 format (Panasonic's RAW). Set Quality to RAW or RAW+JPEG in the camera menu, shoot a frame, and drop the resulting .rw2 file into shuttercount.app to read the exact actuation count. JPEG files do not expose the shutter counter, so a RAW frame is required.
Set the camera to RAW mode, shoot an RW2 file, then drop it into shuttercount.app. Or check in the camera Setup menu under Shutter Count — no RAW file needed for that method.
Panasonic does not officially publish this figure for the TZ95. The estimated lifespan is approximately 100,000 actuations, consistent with other compact travel zoom cameras in its class.
Yes. The DC-TZ95 (Europe/Japan) and DC-ZS80 (North America) are the same camera. Both use identical sensor, lens, EVF, and shutter hardware, and both produce RW2 RAW files readable by ShutterCount.
At 30,000 actuations the TZ95 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.
