Product Specifications

The PV-DV900 Digital Palmcorder suits many different needs and applications. Whether you want to capture your baby's first steps or create multimedia presentations, Panasonic has designed a Palmcorder with both your needs and budget in mind. The PV-DV900 incorporate features designed to be sophisticated yet simple to use. IEEE 1394 PC Interface provides a connection to compatible digital camcorders for high quality dubbing at home, or to compatible personal computers for advanced editing and viewing. Its 18x Hi-Definition Zoom acts like a telescope to produce close-up shots with extraordinary clarity. The 2.5" Color LCD Monitor displays what you're recording or playing back in full vivid color. Use your camcorder as a digital still camera and record about 750 still images on one 60-minute tape in LP mode. The 5-Mode Program AE (Auto Exposure) prepares camcorder for various recording conditions with 5 automatic exposure settings. You can also add digital effects to your videos either while recording or during playback, giving you an exciting new angle to your home movies. And the Digital Electronic Image Stabilization compensates for unintentional hand and camcorder movement to help stabilize your recordings.
