Introducing the Hottest Panasonic HD Camcorders – The HDC-TM300 October 20th, 2010
The Panasonic HDC-TM300 Twin Media HD camcorder incorporates two methods of recording to the 32 GB HDD or SD/SDHC memory card, along with the 3MOS system with three full-HD sensors which has one of the world’s highest pixel count. The TM300 delivers high image quality for both motion and 10.6-megapixel resolution still images. And it features high 8.3-megapixel resolution for still images when recording simultaneously with motion images. You may also enjoy a 5.1-channel surround sound system with 5 microphones featuring Zoom and Focus Mic functions.
High Definition images contains as much as six times more information as compared to standard images. HDTV has 1,080 horizontal scan lines as compared to SDTV, which only has 480. That translates into much higher resolution and much finer detail. When HD images are played back on a HDTV, pictures are so sharp and clear such that you’ll be able to enjoy the textures. The shift in the industry from SDTV to HDTV is well underway. HD camcorders are definitely the best choice for shooting once-in-a-lifetime moments.
You would definitely be looking for high image quality when it comes to important occasions or moments you want to preserve. That is precisely what Panasonic’s 3MOS System gives you, with a combination of optical technologies that further enhance the quality of full-HD images. The 3MOS System produces extremely accurate images with superb rendition of differences in darkness and light, rich color expression, and a full 1,080 lines of horizontal resolution. This advanced technology helps turn once-in-a-lifetime moments into vivid, beautiful images.
Nothing can be more irritating that shooting a once-in-a-lifetime occasion on video, only to find out that the images are blurry or poorly exposed because of backlighting. Panasonic’s iA helps avoid problems in difficult shooting situations by automatically making the optimal camera settings and activating certain functions. For example, iA now includes AF Tracking, a new function that “locks” on and follows a subject as it moves, so images are sharply focused and properly exposed. This technology is a huge help for everyone.
Panasonic’s advanced O.I.S. helps reduce the effects of hand-shake as you shoot, for both motion and still images. This system uses gyrosensors to identify even tiny amounts of hand-shake, then shifts a lens and adjusts the optical axis to compensate – all at an astounding 4,000 times per second. It also covers roughly 3 times the stabilization area of our previous SD9 model. Because the system is optical, there’s only minimal loss in image quality even when viewed on a large-screen TV. Furthermore, to shoot high-resolution still images, the normal O.I.S. Mode 1 is joined by an O.I.S. Mode 2, which has a higher stabilization capability. The O.I.S. corrective lens shifts and stabilizes the image the instant that the shutter button is pressed, to enable greater precision in stabilization. You get all the beauty and minimal blurring.
