∫About DVD-R DL (Dual Layer)

DVD-R DL (Dual Layer) discs have two layers of recording/playback surface on one side.

If the first layer (L0) becomes full during recording, the recording continues uninterrupted on the second layer (L1). However, the recorded picture is divided into 2 scenes at the point where the layers switch. The unit automatically switches layers during disc playback so you can play the whole of the disc continuously like a normal disc. However, the image or sound momentarily stop at the point where the layers switch.

VDR-D310GN, VDR-D220GN specifications

The Panasonic VDR-D220GN and VDR-D310GN are compact camcorders designed for both amateur videographers and seasoned professionals seeking portability without sacrificing quality. These models exemplify Panasonic's commitment to integrating advanced technology into easy-to-use devices, making them popular choices in the consumer video market.

A standout feature of the VDR-D220GN and VDR-D310GN is their advanced optical zoom capabilities. The VDR-D220GN boasts a 30x optical zoom, allowing users to capture distant subjects with impressive clarity. Meanwhile, the VDR-D310GN takes it a step further with a 40x optical zoom, giving users even greater versatility in a variety of shooting environments. This is particularly beneficial for nature documentation and outdoor events where distance can be a factor.

Both camcorders are equipped with a 3CCD image sensor technology, which enhances color reproduction and results in high-quality video output. The 3CCD system captures images in three separate primary colors, providing richer and more vibrant footage compared to traditional single-chip camcorders. Additionally, the VDR-D310GN features a larger sensor size than the VDR-D220GN, enabling it to perform better in low-light conditions, ensuring that users can shoot in diverse lighting environments without compromising quality.

In terms of storage, both models utilize DVD media for recording, allowing for easy playback on standard DVD players. They come with a built-in DVD burner, making it convenient to finalize discs for immediate sharing or archiving. This feature is especially useful for users who prefer physical media for their videos.

User-friendly interfaces are prominent in both camcorders. The intuitive menu systems and ergonomic designs allow for comfortable handling and straightforward operation. Moreover, both models support a variety of recording modes, including 16:9 widescreen recording, which is essential for modern television viewing.

The Panasonic VDR-D220GN and VDR-D310GN also include image stabilization technology, which significantly reduces shake and blurriness during handheld shooting, enhancing the overall video quality. They are compact and lightweight, making them ideal for on-the-go recording, whether for personal projects, travel diaries, or professional assignments.

In summary, the Panasonic VDR-D220GN and VDR-D310GN combine high optical zoom capabilities, advanced 3CCD image sensors, and user-friendly features into compact camcorders that meet the needs of a wide range of users. Whether you're just starting in videography or are a more experienced shooter, these models deliver quality performance and versatility for capturing life's moments.
