To record still pictures clearly

When zooming in on the subject with a magnification of 4k or higher, it is difficult to reduce the slight shaking from holding this unit by hand. We recommend decreasing the zoom magnification and approaching the subject when recording.

When recording still pictures, hold the unit firmly with your hands and keep your arms stationary at your side so as not to shake the unit.

You can record stable pictures without shaking by using a tripod and the remote control.

SDR-H200, SDR-H18, SDR-H20 specifications

The Panasonic SDR-H20, SDR-H18, and SDR-H200 are compact and versatile camcorders that cater to a wide spectrum of videography needs. With a combination of user-friendly features and advanced technology, these models offer exceptional value for casual and enthusiastic videographers alike.

One of the standout features of these camcorders is their built-in 60GB hard drive, which allows users to capture and store hours of video footage without the need for external storage solutions. The SDR-H20 and SDR-H18 have a slightly different storage capacity, making them suitable for varying shooting preferences. Users can also record directly to SD cards, providing flexibility for those who prefer additional storage options.

These models are equipped with a 3CCD image sensor, which enhances color reproduction and provides clear, vibrant images. The 3CCD technology captures video at a resolution that meets high-definition standards, ensuring that footage is both crisp and detailed. This is particularly advantageous for users shooting in diverse lighting conditions, as the camcorders excel in low-light environments, reducing noise and enhancing clarity.

In terms of optical performance, the Panasonic SDR series incorporates a powerful zoom lens, offering significant zoom capabilities without sacrificing image quality. The 28mm wide-angle lens allows for expansive shots, ideal for capturing large groups or vast landscapes. This versatility is complemented by the optical image stabilization feature, which reduces shake and helps deliver smooth, professional-quality footage even in challenging shooting scenarios.

The user interface is designed for convenience, featuring an intuitive touchscreen display that makes navigating through settings and playback easy. Automatic features like face detection and scene modes further streamline the shooting process, allowing users to focus more on their creativity rather than technical adjustments.

Moreover, the SDR-H200 stands out with its advanced digital enhancements, such as the ability to create cinematic-quality videos with effects and transitions that can be applied in-camera, enabling users to produce polished content on the go.

In conclusion, the Panasonic SDR-H20, SDR-H18, and SDR-H200 offer a blend of efficiency, quality, and convenience. Their robust set of features, made possible by cutting-edge technologies, positions them as suitable choices for anyone looking to capture life's moments with clarity and ease. Each model brings unique specifications to the table while maintaining the hallmark quality and reliability associated with the Panasonic brand.
