When zooming in and taking a picture while holding the movie camera by hand, we recommend using the image stabilizer function.

When you are zooming on a faraway subject, a sharper focus is achieved if the recording subject is 1.3 metres or further from the movie camera.

When the zoom speed is high, the subject may not be focused easily.

When the zoom magnification is 1k, the movie camera can focus on a subject approx. 2 cm distant from the lens.

ªDigital zoom function

If the zoom magnification exceeds 30 times, then the digital zoom function will be activated. The digital zoom function allows you to select a magnification from 50k to 1000k.

[OFF]: Optical zoom only (Up to 30k)

function

When pushing the [W/T] lever as far as it will go, you can zoom from 1k to 30k in 3.5 seconds at the maximum.

Recording yourself

You can record yourself while viewing the LCD monitor. You can record persons in front of the camera while presenting them the image. The image is horizontally flipped as if you see a mirror image. (The image to be recorded is the same as that recording.)

Extend the viewfinder to see the picture while recording.

1Rotate the LCD monitor towards the lens side.

A vertically oriented display appears on the viewfinder screen, this is normal and not indicative of any trouble.

When the LCD monitor is rotated towards the lens side, the icon will not be displayed even if you push the centre of the joystick.

The camcorder boasts a powerful 24x optical zoom, which enables users to get close-up shots without sacrificing detail. Coupled with a digital zoom of up to 1000x, the NV-GS27GN provides remarkable flexibility for different shooting scenarios, from wide-angle landscapes to tightly framed portraits. The built-in optical image stabilization technology further ensures that shaky hands do not translate into shaky footage, making every video smooth and visually appealing.

Another significant characteristic of the NV-GS27GN is its intuitive LCD touchscreen interface. The 2.7-inch display allows for easy navigation of settings and playback, enhancing the overall user experience. The inclusion of advanced features like face detection autofocus enables the camcorder to automatically focus on the subject's face, producing sharp and well-defined images.

For those who wish to edit their videos post-capture, the NV-GS27GN supports multiple recording formats, making it easy to transfer and work with footage. Its SD card slot provides ample storage options, allowing users to record hours of high-quality video without the need for frequent media changes.

Additionally, the camera includes a host of creative features, such as various scene modes, built-in digital effects, and the ability to capture 1.2-megapixel still images, bridging the gap between photography and videography.

Overall, the Panasonic NV-GS27GN stands out as a reliable and feature-rich camcorder. Its combination of advanced imaging technology, ease of use, and flexibility makes it a perfect companion for anyone looking to document life’s unforgettable moments with clarity and style.
