Panasonic line of Ultra-Compact Digital Palmcorder MultiCam Camcorders are pocket sized, SD-compatible camcorders that capture the same high-quality digital video as conventional sized camcorders. Their super-small dimensions make these camcorders so portable that you can bring them almost anywhere. The compact design also allows the camera to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, for extra mobility when shooting. Puts the most essential functions - record, zoom and PhotoShot - on an easy-to-use, wired remote control. It's a comfortable way to get the perfect shot even if you're crouching down low, or reaching over people's heads. This feature also makes using the camcorder easier for lefties. Quick Start button turns the camera on in 1.5 seconds enabling you to capture shots almost instantly, even when your camera is off.Unique grip and hand strap converts the camcorder grip into a carrying strap in two easy steps for extra portability, and to more conveniently capture low-angle shots. Top-Load cassette mechanism opens from the top, so you can change cassettes without having to unscrew the camcorder from the tripod. Panasonic Ultra-Compact camcorders can also be used as high-quality digital still cameras. Digital Electronic Image Stabilizer compensates for unintentional hand and camcorder movement when recording. Progressive PhotoShot Mode helps to eliminate fuzziness by digitally capturing the image data of a singular moment, and temporarily storing it in two field memories. The two images are then combined to produce a better quality picture. Cinema Mode records video in the same 16: 9 aspect ratio as a movie screen, giving your videos a dramatic, cinematic effect during playback. Zoom Mic works the same way as video zoom, to get matching audio from subjects at a distance. Color LCD lets you view your subject in full color during shooting and playback through a large, 2.5" LCD screen.
