Full high definition video, long telephoto 21x zoom range, 28mm
(equivalent) wide-angle lens, and a High Sensitivity Sensor for greatly
improved low-light images make this the compact camcorder you've been
looking for. The HC-V700M High Definition Camcorder (Black) from Panasonic gets
you out and recording HD video right now: just charge the battery and
start shooting with the 16GB built-in memory, or pop in an SD, SDHC or
SDXC memory card.
Hybrid O.I.S. + is a high-quality optical hand-shake compensation
function that thoroughly suppresses blurring across the entire zoom
range, so every scene is captured in crisp, beautiful images even when
the user shoots while walking or takes handheld zoom shots with high
magnification. Because it's an optical system, there's no image
degradation--original image quality captured by the lens remains intact,
all the way from wide-angle to the longest telephoto zoom.
The powerful High Sensitivity Sensor makes it possible to capture
stunning indoor and nighttime shots, regardless of dark lighting
conditions--you can record crisp, bright images with minimal noise
whether you're shooting in good light or in poor light.
The 28mm (equivalent in 35mm format) wide-angle lens is ideal for
recording indoors or in tight spaces, especially when fitting both the
subject and surrounding area into the frame. The wide-angle also
produces beautiful images of wide landscapes and allows you to fit large
groups of people into the frame.
The HC-V700M can convert 2D images recorded by the user into 3D
images and it can also record 3D images using an optional 3D conversion
lens.
The HC-V700M also features the Advanced Highlight Playback function,
which allows you to view recorded images as quickly as possible. This
feature uses the I.I.S. (Intelligent Index System) to detect zooming,
panning, scene changes, and faces in recorded images as "highlights." It
then automatically plays back the detected highlight scenes, or ones
that the user has personally selected. It also offers playback effects
such as Slow, Fading Still Image, and Flash Playback.
Also included is iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode with Face Recognition,
which selects the most suitable shooting mode with the press of a
button. Face Recognition finds the faces of registered people (up to six
faces) and optimizes the focus and exposure for them. The camcorder
continues to track this subject as the person moves anywhere within the
frame.
High definition video gives you vivid, life-like, detailed images.
It's also a format that will be compatible with computer systems for
years to come. And, the high definition video recorded with the HC-V500
will look great on your HDTV, where every minute detail shows.
- 21x Optical Zoom and Hybrid O.I.S. + (Optical Image Stabilizer)
-
The HC-V700M features a 21x optical zoom to catch dynamic shots
of distant objects with the long telephoto end of the zoom range. And
because the zoom is optical, there's limited image degradation. Also,
Hybrid O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) helps prevent blurring -
typically a big concern when shooting with a telephoto lens. This
combination of optical zoom and Hybrid O.I.S. gives you the ability to
take fantastic zoom shots even in less than ideal lighting conditions.
Intelligent Zoom can capture beautiful pictures beyond the ordinary 38x
optical zoom and up to a high-powered 46x zoom.
- 28mm Wide-Angle Lens
-
The 28mm wide-angle lens is especially convenient for recording
indoors or in tight spaces, making it possible to shoot at a close
distance from the subject while fitting both the subject and surrounding
area into the frame. The High Sensitivity Sensor, coupled with O.I.S.,
makes it possible to record beautiful images in very dim light. The
wide-angle setting also captures beautiful images of wide landscapes and
allows large groups of people to fit into the frame, making it highly
versatile for use in all kinds of situations.
- iA (Intelligent Auto)
-
iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode with Face Recognition selects the
most suitable shooting mode with the press of a button. Face Recognition
finds the faces of registered people (up to six faces) and optimizes
the focus and exposure for them. The camcorder continues to track this
subject as the person moves anywhere within the frame.
- From 2D to 3D
-
The HC-V700M can convert 2D images recorded by the user into 3D
images for stunning effects. It can also record 3D images using an
optional 3D lens.
- Advanced Highlight Playback Function
-
The Advanced Highlight Playback Function is designed for users
who want to view recorded images as quickly as possible. This feature
uses the I.I.S. (Intelligent Index System) to detect zooming, panning,
scene changes, and faces in recorded images as "highlights." It then
automatically plays back the detected highlight scenes, or ones that the
user has personally selected. It also offers playback effects such as
Slow, Fading Still Image, and Flash Playback.
- Eco-Mode
-
Automatically turns off the power when the camcorder is not
operated for five minutes, reducing wasteful energy use and saving
battery power
- Intuitive Touch-Screen Operation with a Wide 3.0" LCD
-
Features advanced new touch-operation functions that allow for
extremely smooth shooting and playback, including: Touch Zoom--Swiftly
zoom in or out with the touch or swipe of the finger; and Touch
Shutter--Focus and take a digital photo by touching the subject on the
screen.
