Panasonic SDT750 3D Camcorder - Black (3MOS Sensor, SD Card Recording, Full HD "2D" Functionality - without 3D lens Attached)

Introducing the World’s First Consumer 3D Camcorder, the Panasonic HDC-SDT750.

Save your memories in 3D with the SDT750.

Everyone wants to save precious memories just as they saw them. The SDT750 does exactly that, thanks to 3D evolution. In the same way that you view the world through two eyes, 3D conversion lens captures subjects with two lenses, making it easy for anyone to shoot in 3D without all the equipment that professional systems required.

Remove the 3D conversion lens for even more high-quality image fun

Even when it's removed, you still enjoy a wealth of advanced functions, like the popular 3MOS system with its newly improved noise reduction technologies, 1080/50p recording, the new HYBRID O.I.S. and other iA (Intelligent Auto) functions, plus lots of manual control functions.

The TV alternately reproduces the left and right images, which are viewed through 3D Eyewear.

Shoot, Edit and Playback

Images for the right and left eyes (each with 960 DVD Burner (optional) x 1080 pixels) are simultaneously recorded through two lenses, using a 3D conversion lens that artificially reproduces the phenomenon of visual disparity. The TV alternately reproduces the left and right images, which are viewed through 3D Eyewear. The included HD Writer AE 2.6T editing software can be used to easily change sequences and delete unwanted scenes on a PC, in the same way as for 2D data. Also, 3D data can be easily saved onto SD Memory Cards, DVDs or Blu-ray Discs. *When converting 3D data to MPEG-2 and saving it on a DVD, only the left-side 2D image is saved. For 3D playback simply connect the SDT750 to a 3D compatible TV, such as a VIERA 3DTV with an HDMI mini cable for direct 3D playback.* Playback is also possible through an AVCHD-compatible player/recorder.** Recorded 3D data can be saved onto a DVD by simply connecting the SDT750 to an optional DVD burner with a USB cable and pressing a button. You can also use an AVCHD-compatible recorder to save data onto a Blu-ray Disc™ or DVD.

*If the player/recorder is not 3D compatible, you need to set the 3D mode on the TV manually.
**DVD (AVCHD) data cannot be played back by the recorder.
***To play the content with a recorder, the data must be copied to an HDD.

Noisy, faded colours and overall darkness to vivid cake and presents and a bright tone all over.

Advanced 3MOS System

To maximize the beauty of Full-HD 1920 x 1080, 50 progressive recording, Panasonic further refined its globally acclaimed 3MOS System. The Advanced 3MOS System combines the 3MOS Sensor, Leica Dicomar Lens, and Crystal Engine PRO, and incorporates noise reduction technologies that are a step above those of our conventional noise reduction systems. The 3MOS Sensor, with its three-sensor configuration, provides a resolution of 7.59 million effective motion image pixels (2.53 million x 3). The 3MOS Sensor splits the light information captured by the lens into the three primary colours - red, green and blue - and processes each colour with its own individual sensor. This reduces light loss compared to the 1MOS sensor, and renders colours, details and gradation all with intricate detail and natural beauty. The results are spectacular. Images shot in bright conditions are even more vibrant and detailed. And in dim lighting, you can capture clear, sharp images with minimal noise and vivid colours.

1080/50p Recording (Full-HD 1920 x 1080, 50 Progressive Recording)*

The SDT750 uses the progressive method to record twice as much image data as the interlace method. Whereas interlacing requires two images to produce a complete picture, the progressive method records a single image as a complete picture. Plus, the 50 Progressive Recording of the SDT750 produces 50 images per second. This extremely dense image information creates intricate detail and silky smooth motion. Even when subjects move quickly, afterimages are minimized to create more natural images.

*Not available when the 3D conversion lens is attached.
**Progressive scanning refers to the 1080/50p (50 pictures per second) recording format.

iA (Intelligent Auto)

This powerful function senses the shooting conditions and automatically makes the settings and activates functions that will deliver optimal results. The iA lets you forget about bothersome settings and makes it easy to capture beautiful, well-focused images. Please note this function is not available when the 3D conversion lens is attached and the functions included in iA may not be applied when conditions do not call for them.

Hybrid O.I.S (Optical Image Stabilizer)

HYBRID O.I.S. corrects hand-shake blurring by combining the action of its hybrid optical and electrical image stabilizer systems. Even when zooming, where hand-shake often occurs, both optical and electrical hand-shake correction make it possible to record beautiful images with approximately 2 times** the hand-shake suppressing effect as conventional models.

*Normal O.I.S. works when the 3D conversion lens is attached.
**Compared with the HDC-SD700, HDC-TM700, HDC-HS700.

Face Recognition, Face Detection, AF/AE Tracking and More

The Face Recognition function recognises the faces of registered subjects, and automatically optimises the focus and exposure for those special people. AF/AE tracking locks on a subject and tracks it. if the subject moves, the camcorder follows, maintaining a sharp focus and proper exposure. Face Detection captures faces beautifully even in backlit scens, whilst Intelligent Contrast Control helps supress blown highlights and retains natural contrats. Intelligent Scene Selector detects the situation and switches the scene mode automatically.

Crystal Image Pro

The new Crystal Engine PRO instantly processes the huge amount of data that goes into Full-HD images, and further enhances Full-HD quality. It produces smooth, high-resolution zoom shots even when the range exceeds the limit for optical zooming. Crystal Engine PRO clearly delineates even the tiniest details of your subject, with extremely natural beauty. New noise reduction (NR) technology minimizes noise when recording in low lighting conditions, while Intelligent Resolution Technology ensures sharp, bright, beautifully colored motion images.

Leica Dicomar Lens

The SDT750 uses Leica Dicomar lenses, which are renowned for their ability to render sharp images and excellent shading. They also suppress ghosting, flare, and distortion at the image edges. Even in strong sunlight, these superb lenses maintain high contrast and resolution. A bright new F1.5-F2.8 lens with a 46mm filter diameter has been created for the SDT750. Efficient light collection allows the new lens to capture bright, clear images even in dim lighting or at high shutter speeds. This high-end lens brings out all the beauty of Full-HD images.

35mm Wide Angle Lens*

The 35mm wide-angle lens* on the SDT750 fits more people and more of the background into the frame than a conventional 44.9mm lens. This is especially handy when you want to take a group photo in a small room.

*35mm camera equivalent. (58mm (35mm camera equivalent) when 3D conversion lens is attached).

Intelligent 18x Zoom*

The SDT750 features a 12x optical zoom and an Intelligent Zoom function that goes all the way up to 18x. When using Intelligent Zoom, intelligent Resolution Technology lets you shoot at high zoom rates while preserving image sharpness. You get crisp images of highly detailed objects - without the blurry edges. *Not available when the 3D conversion lens is attached.

Craft images with intuitive ease with Manual Ring*

The manual ring gives you easy, fingertip control over the focus, zoom, exposure, shutter speed and white balance settings. You'll find using the ring a much more intuitive, comfortable, user-friendly process than accessing a menu screen. With the manual ring and manual operation, the SDT750 is a pleasure to use and gives you the freedom to craft unusually expressive images. *Only white balance setting is available when the 3D conversion lens is attached.

5.1-Channel Surround Sound System & Zoom Mic*

The SDT750 is equipped with five electret condenser microphones. The center mic helps capture the sound source and distance accurately, so you get a more 3-dimensional effect than you get with conventional systems, which capture all sounds from the front. You get a realistic sound space that's a perfect match with the true-to-life HD images. *Not available when the 3D conversion lens is attached.
