Advanced Functions that Expand Video Possibilities

Catch Every Moment in Clear, Beautiful Detail

Natural contrast with no wash-out.

Intelligent Contrast Control detects the ambient light level 
and adjusts the exposure accordingly, preventing blown 
highlights  and  blocked  shadows.  You  capture  natural-

looking, highly nuanced images with proper contrast.

Prevents blurry images caused by unsteady hands as you shoot.

(Optical Image Stabilizer) 

Panasonic's advanced O.I.S. suppresses the effects of hand-
shake as you shoot. You get all the beauty and none of the 
blurring, even at high zoom levels. 

Capture faces beautifully - even in dim or backlit scenes.

Face Detection automatically senses the ambient lighting and 
adjusts the exposure accordingly, so faces are bright and easy 
to see. The focus also prioritizes the faces, and skin tones 

are smoothed. Faces in the center of the frame serve as the reference for 
adjustments, but the function can detect up to 15 faces in all.

Detects the situation and switches the scene mode automatically.

The Scene Selector function analyzes the shooting situation 
and automatically switches the camcorder to the Scene 
mode that will give you optimal results.

Use Quick Start mode* when you want to start shooting even more 
quickly. Just flip open the LCD and you're ready to shoot in just 0.6 
second. Also, power consumption is 30% to 40% less in Quick Start mode 
than in recording mode, so you save battery time. 

*This mode can be selected from the menu.

No more missed shooting opportunities!

Capture those spur-of-the-moment scenes.

Images are recorded even before you begin shooting.

Switch the power on and the SD100 and HS100 are in 
standby mode in just 1.9 seconds*, ready to shoot when you 
are. This fast startup also helps reduce battery consumption. 

*HS100: In card recording mode only.

Capturing voices over a wide area for a more lifelike sound.

Panasonic  HD  camcorders  are  equipped  with  five 
electret condenser microphones. The center mic helps 
capture the sound source and distance accurately, so 

you get a more 3-dimensional effect than you get with conventional systems, 
which capture all sounds from the front. You get a realistic sound space that's 
a perfect match with the true-to-life HD images.

Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby” and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

In Zoom mode the microphones are linked to the lens action. When you zoom 
in on a subject, the microphones focus on the sound in that same direction. 

In this mode the microphones focus on sounds coming from right in front 
of you, even when the lens is not zooming. 

The HD camcorders feature high-speed burst shooting at a fast 24 frames 
per second. In three seconds, you can shoot up to 72 still shots. High-
speed burst shooting is especially useful for shooting fast-moving objects 
or capturing spontaneous moments, such as in sports events and car 
races. Or use it to analyze your golf swing or tennis stroke.

Time

Without 

Pre-Rec.

This clever function records three seconds of 
images even before you actually begin shooting. 

The images are held temporarily in the camcorder's internal memory, 
before recording onto the SDHC/SD Memory Card or hard disk begins. 
This helps ensure that you won't miss the start of a moment you want to 
record, such as when an event begins all of a sudden.

Low Light 

Use  in  dim  lighting.  It 
automatically switches to 
a slower shutter speed 
so that images across the entire frame are bright and easy to see.

Spotlight

Use this mode for scenes 
with  particularly  strong 
contrast,  such  as  when 
you're shooting a spotlit area on a darkened stage. It captures the well-lit 
subject perfectly and prevents washed-out areas.

Face

This mode captures faces 
beautifully. It automatically 
detects  when  there's  a 
face in the frame and adjusts the exposure to capture it correctly. The focus 
also emphasizes the face. 

*See the Face Detection description for details.

High-speed processing and wide tonal expression.

We took the advanced imaging circuitry used in 
Panasonic professional equipment and adapted 

it for home use. The result is the HD Advanced Pure Color Engine, a 
high-speed processing unit that handles huge 
volumes  of  data  and  virtually  doubles  the 
dynamic range. This advanced imaging engine 
helps prevent blown highlights and blocked 
shadows, so the images you capture on video 
look just the way they do in real life.

Scenery 

This  mode  is  ideal  for 
shooting wide landscapes 
and  sweeping  vistas, 
such as at the ocean or in the mountains. It balances the exposure over the 
entire frame to prevent brighter parts of the image, such as the sky, from 
being washed out or having blown highlights.
