Advanced O.I.S. Reduces Camera Shake, Even
at 42x Zoom
The SDR-H40's 42x optical zoom lens has the power you need to take
dramatic closeups or get remarkable shots of even distant subjects. But
with long-distance zoom shots, even a tiny bit of hand shake has a huge
effect on picture quality. That's where Panasonic's Advanced Optical
Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) comes in, suppressing the effects of hand
shake as you shoot. The system uses gyrosensors to detect hand shake,
then shifts a lens and adjusts the optical axis to compensate. This all
happens a remarkable 4,000 times per second. And because the system is
optical, no image quality is lost. Thanks to Advanced O.I.S., the images
you capture look incredibly clear, sharp and blur-free even at high zoom
levels.
Non-Stop Shooting Fun with 40GB Hard Drive
The SDR-H40's 40GB1 internal hard disk drive lets you record
continuously for up to 36 hours (in LP mode) without changing a disc,
tape or other recording media.
Anti-Shock Shield Helps Protect Your Memories
Panasonic's Anti-Shock Shield helps protect recorded video data from
damage due to jolts and impact. The Drop Detect function senses if the
camera is falling and moves the head away from the hard disk. The
Floating Structure protects the hard disk should the camera fall or be
dropped. And the Buffer Memory automatically backs up data while the
camera is falling.
One-Touch DVD Copying
This hard disk drive camcorder has a USB Host function, which lets you
connect directly to a DVD burner (sold seperately) via a USB cable. You
can then copy recordings from the hard disk to a DVD disc by simply
pressing a button.
Edit Your Videos
You can transfer the motion-image data from the SD card or the
camcorder's hard drive right to your PC2 using your PC's USB port. Then
with the included VideoCam Suite 1.0 software, you can easily put scenes
in a different order and delete the ones you don't want. When you're
finished with your video production, you can resave the edited version
onto an SD memory card and a DVD disc. |
