The Panasonic HDC-SD60 Full-HD PAL Camcorder (Black) is an entry-level HD camcorder for those looking to break into high def recording without breaking the bank. The SD60 records 1920 x 1080i video and 5MP stills to removable SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, using a 1/4.1" CMOS sensor as its engine. Tools like 25x optical zoom, Power Optical Image Stabilization, and a touch screen 2.7" LCD screen all help to capture your footage with clarity.

Memory Card Recording

The HDC-SD60 records to SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards for ease-of-use and

portability

1/4.1" MOS Sensor

Panasonic's 1/4.1" MOS sensor is CMOS sensor that captures 1080i HD video and 5MP

still images

2.7" LCD Display

The 2.7" LCD gives you an accurate platform on which to compose and play back your

video and still footage. Touch screen icons displayed on the LCD let users operate a

variety of functions intuitively without taking their eyes off of the subject they are

recording

35.7mm Wide Angle Lens

The 35.7mm wide angle lens on the SD60 fits more people and more of the background

into the frame than a conventional 44.1mm lens. This is especially handy when you want

to take a group photo in a small room. It fits your subjects in even when you shoot from

up close, and makes it possible to pick up even small sounds with the mic. It also gives

you entirely new ways to enjoy your camcorder, like taking self portraits or capturing

sweeping landscapes without losing the sense of scale

Power O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization)

The corrective ability of POWER O.I.S. has been increased by five times compared to

previous models, allowing it to correct even slight hand-shake, something that wasn't

possible with conventional O.I.S. Even high-power zoom shots, which are highly

susceptible to hand-shake, now come out sharp and clear

Face Recognition

The Face Recognition function recognizes the faces of registered subjects, and

automatically optimizes the focus and exposure for those special people. It continues to

track the subject as he or she moves anywhere within the LCD frame, making it ideal for

video shooting. It is extremely useful for capturing someone's face in a group. Names can

also be registered and displayed on the LCD while shooting. A total of six people can be

registered, and the names of up to three people at a time can be displayed in the shooting

frame

Eco Mode

Automatically turns off the power when the camcorder is not operated for five minutes,

reducing wasteful energy use and saving battery power

VIERA LINK

Connect a Panasonic HD Camcorder to a Panasonic VIERA HDTV via an HDMI mini

cable, and operate the camcorder using the TV's remote control and follow on-screen

prompts

Auto Power LCD

Automatically adjusts the brightness of the LCD screen according to the shooting

environment. In dark places, the screen brightness is reduced to 1/3 the normal level. In

bright outdoor places, the screen brightness is double the normal level



iA (Intelligent Auto)

This powerful function senses the shooting conditions and automatically makes the

settings and activates functions that will deliver optimal results. With both motion and

still images, iA does the bothersome settings for you and makes it easy to capture

beautiful, well-focused images

Wind Noise Canceller

New feature that automatically detects and suppresses wind noise to help ensure natural

sounds with lifelike ambiance
