Model : HDC-DX1P
Panasonic’s O.I.S. minimizes the hand-shake that can be such a problem with handheld shots. Because Panasonic’s system is optical, there is no image quality degradation. When you’re shooting a still picture, the MEGA O.I.S. system automatically activates, doubling the corrective power. With O.I.S. and MEGA O.I.S., HDC-DX1 is equipped for clear, beautiful shooting of both motion and still pictures.Using the zoom at full magnification, you can shoot macro close-ups while maintaining a distance of 60 cm from your subject. This makes it much easier to capture extreme close-ups without your body or camera casting a shadow on the subject and while keeping the background in soft focus.Distant subjects can be enlarged so they appear to be right up close. This allows dynamic shots of both motion and still pictures.This model offers the high quality wide images that make for beautiful, dramatic viewing on a wide-screen TV. The image is processed on 16: 9 area of the CCD. Because the image decoded has the same proportions as your wide-screen TV, there is virtually no picture quality degradation. You get beautiful images and all the excitement and dynamism on either a wide 16: 9 screen TV or a conventional 4: 3 TV. This model also features a high-density, 250, 000-pixel, wide 3.0-inch LCD, making it easier to frame shots when you’re shooting in 16: 9 mode. You can enjoy shooting wide, and viewing wide.HDC-DX1 can record and play DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R DL, DVD-R discs and SD/SDHC Memory Card. With the DVD-RAM disc, you can record again and again on the same disc, up to tens of thousand times. You can record repeatedly on DVD-RW discs as well, and they are well suited to editing. While you can record only once on DVD-R DL / DVD-R discs, they can be played back on almost any kind of BD player or recorder. With HDC-DX1 wide compatibility, you can record on whichever kind of disc works best in your BD player or recorder.
