On-Screen Assist

Both the SD100 and HS100 feature Panasonic's new 3MOS sensor. With about 2* times the light-receiving area of a CCD sensor, this high-sensitivity, high- precision imaging element captures vibrant, faithful

color and provides an outstanding performance in low lighting. The 3MOS system uses separate MOS sensors to capture the red, green and blue light components, so no

light is wasted. You capture rich, expressive video with vivid colors and super-fine details that make your images come alive.

Panasonic CCD sensors.

Panasonic's advanced O.I.S. suppresses the effects of hand-shake as you shoot. This extraordinary system uses gyrosensors to detect even tiny amounts of hand- shake, then shifts a lens and adjusts the optical axis to

compensate – all at an astounding 4,000 times per second. Because the system is optical, there's no loss

of image quality. You get all the beauty and none of the blurring. The SD100 and HS100 take Panasonic's advanced O.I.S. a step further, with a correction area that's about 3 times as large as in previous

models. With this enhanced correction capability, even zoomed images are incredibly clear, sharp and beautiful.

The manual ring gives y o u e a s y , f i n g e r t i p control over the focus,

zoom and exposure 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 SD100 and HS100 are a pleasure to use and give you the freedom to craft unusually expressive images.

Zoom

Just rotate the ring to zoom in and out. You have full control of the zooming speed and can zoom in or out to the precise degree you want.

Focus

Just rotate the ring to focus. You can focus on the exact point you

want, even if it's not in the center of the frame. You can also change the focus as you shoot, to get the kind of creative shots you sometimes see in movies.

White Balance

Zebra Pattern

A "zebra pattern" is displayed in areas of the frame where the lighting is excessive and the image is over-exposed.

Brightness Level

The light level is metered at the center of the frame and displayed as a percentage (%). This serves as a guide when you're shooting a subject that's backlit, or when you want to keep the light level the same even though the lighting conditions change.

Histogram

The histogram displays in graph form the exposure and contrast conditions over the entire frame. This lets you determine fine gradation details that are difficult to tell by just looking at the screen.

Blurry!

Both the dancing girl and the background are crisp and razor-sharp. Even on a big screen, the images are virtually blur-free.

A powerful new lens for even finer image rendering.

The SD100 and HS100 also introduce a new high-performance Leica lens in which both resolution and contrast have been improved by refinements to our low-dispersion lens and

aspherical lens. The lens is highly refractive too, making it possible to pack a powerful 12x zoom into a compact body. A multi-coating process applied to all lens surfaces helps suppress ghosts and flaring, so you get sharp, crisp images even in strong outdoor lighting. The superb rendering ability of this advanced camcorder lens makes it ideal for capturing expressive full-HD images.

Use the ring to adjust the aperture to regulate the amount of light let in. In dim lighting use a lower aperture setting (which corresponds to a larger aperture opening), and in bright lighting use a higher setting.
