Features
Clear Projection Tailored to Your Space
Delivering up to 8,000 lm1 from the smallest and lightest body in its class5, the VMZ82 Series ensures outstanding clarity, detail, and color vibrancy in bright environments. Proprietary 3,000,000:16 Dynamic Contrast technology sharply defines light and dark areas, enhancing depth and realism. Daylight View Basic optimizes image quality based on ambient lighting, making it an ideal choice for brightly lit classrooms, meeting rooms, and beyond.
Stress-Free Installation Flexibility
Weighing just 7.4 kg (16.3 lbs)7, this compact projector integrates seamlessly and unobtrusively into any space, projecting a 100-inch image from just 2.35 m (7.54 ft). Its 1.6x optical zoom (throw ratio: 1.09–1.77:1), V/H lens shift, and Digital Zoom Extender provide exceptional installation flexibility. Features such as Grid Adjustment, Geometric Adjustment, and Angle Monitor8 streamline setup.
Efficient and Eco-Conscious Design
Sustainability is central to the VMZ82 Series. Energy efficiency has improved by 25%9 over the current series, and Auto Power On10 reduces unnecessary power consumption. The projector’s body plastic incorporates 59%11 recycled resin, and eco-friendly cardboard insulation replaces foam in packaging. Maintenance is minimal, thanks to a durable laser light source and ECO Filter that last up to 20,000 hours12. These features reduce waste, cost, and downtime, combining high brightness with environmentally responsible performance.
1 Measured when [PICTURE MODE] is set to [DYNAMIC] and [LIGHT POWER] is set to [NORMAL]. Measurement, measuring conditions, and notation method comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is the average of all products when shipped.
2 4K/30p input signals are converted to the projector's resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels). YPBPR 4:2:0 format only for 4K/30p signals input via DIGITAL LINK.
3 Requires the AJ-WM50 Series Wireless Module (sold separately). Availability may vary by country or region.
4 Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with American National Standards Institute standards. Value is the average of all products when shipped.
5 Among projectors with 8,000 lm or more (PT-VMZ82), 7,200 lm or more (PT-VMZ72), and 6,500 lm or more (PT-VMZ62) as of November 2024, according to Panasonic’s research.
6 Full On/Full Off when [PICTURE MODE] is set to [DYNAMIC] and [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] is set to [1]. The measurement, measuring conditions, and notation method comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is the average of all products when shipped.
7 For the PT-VMZ82. For the weights of other models, please see the specifications below.
8 The displayed values are based on the results of angle sensor detection and may differ from the actual projection angle. They are for reference only, and accuracy is not guaranteed.
9 PT-VMZ72 (20.9 lm/W) compared to the PT-VMZ71 (16.7 lm/W) in [NORMAL] mode, according to Panasonic research.
10 Settings cannot be made when [STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO] or when [IN STANDBY MODE] is set to [ON] in the [AUDIO SETTINGS] menu. Auto Power On is supported when the input signal is transmitted via HDMI™ or COMPUTER IN terminals.
11 By total weight of plastic parts in the projector main unit. Excludes printed circuit boards, labels, cables, connectors, electronic components, optical components, ESD components, EMI component adhesives, and coatings.
12 Around this time, the light output will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level ([PICTURE MODE]: [DYNAMIC], [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] set to [2], temperature 30 °C [86 °F], elevation 700 m [2,297 ft] with 0.15 mg/m3 of particulate matter). The estimated time until light output declines to 50 % varies depending on the environment. Filter cleaning cycle: 20,000 hours (under dust conditions of 0.08 mg/m3), 10,000 hours (under dust conditions of 0.15 mg/m3). The filter cleaning cycle varies depending on the environment.

3 Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with American National Standards Institute standards. Value is the average of all products when shipped.
4 Around this time, light output will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level ([PICTURE MODE]: [DYNAMIC], [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] set to [2]). Estimated time until light output declines to 50 % varies depending on environment.
5 Resolution decreases when using Digital Zoom Extender. Grid Adjustment, 6-Point Screen Correction, V/H Keystone Correction, and curved-screen correction are not available when using this function. The range of corner adjustment is limited.
6 When Digital Zoom Extender is set to 80 %.
7 4K signals are converted to the projector's resolution upon projection.
8 Depending on the connected CEC command compatible device, the link control may not operate normally.
9 On standby, power supply is available with Quick Startup set to ON or Power Management set to Ready.
10 The optional AJ-WM50 Series Wireless Module does not support IPv6.
11 Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. On-mode power consumption measured at 25 °C (77 °F) operating temperature at an altitude of 700 m (2,297 ft).
12 Filter cleaning cycle varies depending on the environment. The filter can be washed and reused up to two times. Filter cleaning cycle: 20,000 hours (under dust conditions of 0.08 mg/m3),
10,000 hours (under dust conditions of 0.15 mg/m3).
13 Average value. May differ depending on the actual unit.
14 Light output is limited at operating temperatures higher than 30 °C (86 °F), and projectors cannot be operated at altitudes higher than 2,700 m (8,858 ft) above sea level.
15 When the optional AJ-WM50 Series Wireless Module is attached, the operating temperature range becomes 0–40 °C (32–104 °F).
16 When using Presenter Light Software, images are projected with 1280 x 800 dots or 1024 x 768 dots onto the screen. Also, your PC display resolution may be forcibly changed, and audio playback disrupted or become noisy while images and sound are being transmitted.
17 When using the Wireless Projector app, display resolution differs depending on your iOS/Android™ device and the display device. The maximum supported display resolution is WXGA (1280 x 800).
