Panasonic SDR-H40 40GB HDD PAL Camcorder

Large-Capacity Hard Disk

SDR-H40 has a 40-GB hard disk that holds about as much data as 28 8cm-DVD discs. It can hold up to 36 hours of recording (in LP mode). Advanced O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) Panasonic?s O.I.S. uses gyrosensors to detect hand-shake and then shifts the lens unit to align the optical axis. Now Panasonic has taken image stabilisation a step further with Advanced O.I.S., a new system that?s eight times more effective than the previous system. Advanced O.I.S. checks and compensates for hand-shake around 4,000 times per second. Because this system is optical, there is no loss of quality. Images are captured in all of their original beauty. Advanced O.I.S. prevents even the subtle blurring that can be caused by a tiny amount of hand-shake. In an age of large-screen, high-resolution TVs that make every imperfection visible, an effective system such as Advanced O.I.S. is essential.

42x Optical Zoom

Enjoy remarkable 42x zoom magnification in a camera that fits comfortably and securely in one hand. Since the zoom is optical, it captures both moving and still pictures with exquisite beauty.

Crystal Engine & Pure Colour Engine

The Crystal Engine is a special image processing circuit for 3CCD camera systems that process the R, G, and B signals from three CCDs individually to remove the noise and improve colour processing accuracy. Pure Colour Engine is the same one for high-zooming cameras. Each engine achieves truly superb colour reproduction for high-quality pictures.

Create DVD Discs with One-Touch Ease

Most people use their camcorders for three main purposes: to shoot, play back, and archive video recordings. They want each of these to be as easy as possible. The H60 and H40 are packed with a host of functions designed to do exactly that. In the past, copying video recordings from the Memory Card or hard disk to a DVD disc was a two-step process that involved transferring the data to a PC, then copying from PC to disc. This new function lets you save images onto DVD discs without all the fuss. Connecting the H60 or H40 via USB cable to a VW-BN1 DVD Burner (optional), and pressing a single button is all it takes to copy recorded video clips from an SDHC/SD Memory Card or a hard disk to a DVD disc (DVD-RAM/-RW/-R/-R DL). The disc you make can be played on DVD players, so playback is easy too.
