Advanced Technologies that Record Clear, Crisp Pictures onto a Hard Disk Drive for More Video Fun

Triple beauty - remarkable colour, detail and gradation 3CCD Camera System

Most professional broadcast cameras use the 3CCD
system. In a 1CCD system, all of the incoming light	1CCD
information is processed by the same CCD. The
more advanced 3CCD system uses three distinct CCDs for processing,
so there is absolutely no light loss. You can see the results in beautifully
rendered images with vivid colour, fine detail, and rich gradation.

Functions you need to prevent blurring in high- power zoom shots O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabiliser)

Panasonic's O.I.S. minimises the hand-shake that can be such a problem with handheld shots. Because the system is optical, there is no image quality degradation.

You can set the LCD to any of five brightness levels for optimal viewing in a variety of lighting conditions. When shooting outdoors on a sunny day, make the LCD brighter. When shooting indoors, lower it. This not only makes the LCD

easier to see, it's also easier on your eyes.
