Welcome to the Full-High-Deﬁnition Age

When It Comes to Beauty, There's Simply No Match for Full-HD

HD images contain 6 times as much information as

standard images, and HDTV has 1,080 horizontal scan lines

to standard TV's 480. That means much higher resolution

and much greater detail – which is why the world is steadily

shifting to HD. Panasonic HD camcorders record 1920 x

1080 full-HD images* – the highest level of HD quality

there is. Viewed on an HDTV, the pictures are so sharp and

clear that you can even distinguish textures. That's the kind

of image quality you want when capturing special moments

– the kind of moments that will only come once, but that you'll want to enjoy forever. When it comes to capturing beautiful images, an HD camcorder

is the best choice. And when it comes to HD camcorders, there's no better choice than Panasonic.

*In HG (high image quality) mode. 1920 x 1080 full-HD recording with a Panasonic home-use camcorder refers to recording with 1,920 pixels in the horizontal direction and 1,080 pixels in the vertical direction.

Expressive performance with detailed images and lifelike coloring

Capture even delicate, subtle nuances

Capture voices over a wide area

Precise hand-shake compensation for blur-free images

Record even before you begin shooting
