Panasonic imaging technologies take HD to a beautiful new level

HD 3CCD

Rich, Vivid Colours Bring Out All the Beauty of High Definition

HD is especially good for scenes with rich, vibrant colours. And Panasonic HD video cameras provide the best in colour reproducibility, thanks to use of an advanced 3CCD camera system. This system, in which three separate CCDs capture and process the light information received through the lens, helps reproduce high- resolution HD images with magnificent colour.

The coloured balls and the baby's skin are vivid and natural.

HD O.I.S.

Suppresses Camera Shake, So Images Appear Sharp, Even on a Big-Screen TV

Imagine taking video shots on a moving boat and then viewing them on a large-screen TV. They're likely to appear blurry from the boat's movement and unsteady hands. Panasonic solves this problem with our O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer). O.I.S. is an optical system, so image quality is in no way degraded. If you plan to view the videos you record on a big-screen TV, be sure to get a camera with an O.I.S. system.

Even images shot from a moving boat are clear and beautiful.

Most professional broadcasting cameras use the 3CCD

system, with its superior colour reproduction. In a 1CCD

system, all of the incoming light 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. The 3CCD camera system draws out the full potential of HD image quality.
