With benefi ts like compact size, data reliability, fast data transferring (up to 20 Megabyte/sec) and a steady increasing capacity the SD Card is the future proof recording media.
 | High Quality Lens for HD Movies The lens is a central and vital part of the camera, with the ability to greatly infl uence image quality. Lens quality is even more important than ever before when doing High Defi nition recording. Therefore, the Leica Dicomar lens, developed specifi cally for Full HD camcorder and featuring original optical technology from Leica, is an advanced lens that captures clear, crisp and finely nuanced pictures with outstanding detail and contrast. |
 | Full HD 1920 x 1080 25p Progressive Images Why is the image quality so much better? Panasonic Full HD camcorder record horizontal pixels at an HD resolution of up to 1.920 pixels, which results in a total of around 2.070.000 pixels. Panasonic Full HD camcorder use progressive scanning which provides twice as much data per picture as conventional interlace scanning and captures clear, vibrant images with intricate detail. |

 | Face Detection Ordinary TV broadcasts and DVD discs provide SD images with 576 x 640 pixels or 576 x 720 pixels. Todays newest HDTVs, on the other hand, can display images with 1080 x 1920 pixels. HDTVs require high-quality image sources suitable for their large screens. If the optimization process for high-quality images is inadequate, the picture can become blurry or grainy. DIGAs original i/p conversion and up-conversion functions solve this problem. These functions convert SD signals from DVD discs or DIGAs own hard disc drive into 1080p signals that provide high-resolution images. The conversion process boosts the amount of image information by about 5 times, so pictures are clear and beautiful. |
 | Advanced Optical Image Stabiliser Panasonic‘s Advanced O.I.S. system corrects the effects of hand-shake 4.000x/ second, balancing out jittery movements before light enters the CCDs. This compensation functionality is effective for both moving and still pictures. The technology behind is very effective – the Advanced O.I.S. system uses gyrosensors to detect movement caused by hand-shake and adjusts the lens inside to compensate it. As this system is an optical one image quality will not be compromised. Clear, beautiful moving pictures on a large Flat Screen TV - Image quality is in no way reduced with the Advanced O.I.S. / O.I.S. lens compensation. The lens moves up-down or left-right, bending the incoming light in order to correct the effects of hand-shake. |

Capture facial expressions and skin tones exactly as they appear in real life. Panasonic’s advanced 3CCD camera system offers beautiful colours, precise details and distinct gradation - it draws out the full potential of Full HD image quality just as professional broadcasting cameras do. . |
