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.

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.

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.

O .I .S . ( O pt ic a l I ma g e St a bi l iz er )
Panasonic's O.I.S. minimises hand-shake. O.I.S. is extremely effective in
situations where hand-shake is most often a problem, such as with zoom
shots. The system is optical, so there is no quality loss. Images look clear
and beautiful on a TV screen.
O.I.S. Lens
The lens moves up/down or left/right and bends
the incoming light to correct hand-shake.
When you're shooting, moving the camera even
a tiny bit - just 0.3 mm – results in an image blur
of 50 mm when the recording is viewed on a 50-inch screen.
