angle both vertically and horizontally. The wider viewing
angle is a big advantage in high-angle and low-angle
shooting. It's a big advantage in playback too, allowing
several people at the same time to enjoy viewing the
video clip that was just recorded.
Power LCD Extra
The brightness of the LCD can be set to either of two levels to match the ambient light condition. At the brighter
setting, the LCD provides clear, easy viewing even when shooting outdoors on a sunny day.
One-Button Dubbing (HS100)
The HDC-HS100 is a hybrid model that can record full-HD images onto either an SD Memory Card or the built-in
hard disk drive. Recorded images can be copied from an SD Memory Card to the hard drive, or vice versa, by
pressing a single button. The user can select from three copying methods: Copy All copies all of the moving and still
images, Select Copy copies only selected scenes, and Copy by Date copies only images recorded on a specified
day. Once images are recorded onto an SD Memory Card, just slip the card into the slot of a Panasonic PZ800,
PZ700 or PY700 VIERA TV, or a BD50 or BD30 Blu-ray DiscTM Player*, and you’re ready for spectacular large-
screen HD viewing.
HD Writer 2.6 Editing Software (New)
The HDC-SD100 and HDC-HS100 come packaged with software that make it easy to edit the full-HD images
recorded onto either an SD Memory Card or the hard disk drive. Using HD Writer 2.6 software together with the
camcorder's Intelligent Shooting Selection Playback function, scenes determined to be seriously flawed (for
example, from overly severe hand-shake or backlighting) are automatically extracted. The user can then delete
them easily, without the usual troublesome operation. HD Writer 2.6 also lets the user specify which image files are
uploaded to the PC, eliminating the bother and waste of time that occurs with programmes that automatically upload
all scenes, including the ones you don’t want.
HD Writer 2.6 even remembers which image files have been uploaded to the PC, so there is no worry about
uploading the same file again later. This is convenient when users have recorded large amounts of data on a
memory card or hard drive and upload it over several sessions. When copying images to a DVD disc, users can
select either the full-HD AVCHD format or the DVD-Video format. Use AVCHD for images that will be viewed using a
Blu-ray DiscTM player, and DVD-Video (standard-definition) for discs that will be played on a DVD player.
