Panasonic HC-V100MK Compact HD Camcorder Easy to Carry Ultra High Zoom High Image Quality POWER O.I.S., Black

Imagine the Photographic Possibilities with an Intelligent 42x Zoom HD Camcorder

You can thank the Intelligent Zoom function for its smart, ultra-telephoto zooming abilities, bringing your subjects into your frame by 42x. Because of its Intelligent Resolution technology, you can record at high zoom rates while preserving fine image quality and resolution. You get sharp images with incredibly detailed objects - without the nuisance of blurry edges. And if you find yourself shooting indoors or in a darkly set location, don't worry. The V100MK HD Camcorder has a high sensitivity sensor that is more susceptible than conventional sensors, making dark scenes brighter and clearer to the eye. Go on, zoom in on that far away spot that calls to you.

Fully Charge Your Battery Once and Record for 155 Minutes

If you need a couple of hours of recording time but you know that you will be in a spot where stopping to charge your HD camcorder is not an option, then travel well knowing that this battery has a longer recording time and consumes less power. All you need to do is to fully charge it once and as you tour, walk around, or sit and record, know that you can shoot continuously for a little over 2.5 hours or 155 minutes. An added feature is its memory capacity of 16GB letting you create memorable movies on Panasonic V100MK HD Camcorder.

With a 32.5mm Wide-Angle, Get Close to that Large Group

Even if you're recording at an event with a large group, the 32.5mm wide-angle setting fits more people and more of the background into your frame than other conventional compact HD camcorder models. This is especially clever when you want to take a group photo in a small room. The V100MK HD Camcorder fits your subjects into your framework even when you shoot from up-close. And don't worry about missing someone's comments or a baby's chuckle, as the built-in mic will record it.

With the V100MK HD Camcorder, Freeze a Moment in Time and Create a Still Image

Picture yourself recording your child at play with your new family puppy on its first day home. You can easily capture those special, rich 2.1-megapixel still images while HD video shooting, even in zoom mode. When you playback your movie, simply cut a 2.1-megapixel still image of any scene you want thus creating an additional album of memories.

Your Hands will Shake from Joy, not from Blurry Footage

With POWER O.I.S. in the Active Mode, even the slightest hand shake is corrected. High-powered zoom shots, which are highly susceptible to movement, will be sharp and clear. If you are walking and shooting a scene - whether while traveling, on a walking tour, or following your children around at a birthday party - know that minimal blurring will occur with handheld recording. Similarly, if you are adjusting your body posture to accommodate to your subject at hand, like trying to see where a butterfly goes in shrubs, POWER O.I.S. prevents blurry images while you are in your own creative director mode. Get introduced, shake hands, and shoot blur-free with the V100MK HD Camcorder.

So Easy to Use because It's So Smart

iA (Intelligent Auto) thinks for you. This powerful function, on the V100MK HD camcorder, senses your shooting conditions and automatically adjusts the settings and activates modes that will deliver optimal results. iA does the bothersome work for you making it easier to capture beautiful, well-focused images. This feature comes in handy for sudden photo opportunities that might be missed. With a quick-start time of 0.6-Sec, simply flip open the LCD and you're ready to record. In Eco mode, the power turns off after 5 minutes of non-activity. This reduces power waste, power consumption, and enables a longer battery life. Green in its own way, it saves energy, too.

iFrame It as You Record with a PC or MAC

Ideal for PC or MAC users, the V100MK lets you record videos in iFrame, a quicker way to edit scenes you shoot in real-time. With iFrame, the video is in the same editing format that you would normally use, but since you're already there, it's a quick edit given its compatibility to this video editing software. iFrame works with a number of applications, including iMovie.

Made for Travel Time

Easily set your time, whether you are home or traveling. World Time lets you adjust your camcorder especially as you cross time zones or return home. Simply select your destination from the displayed map and the camcorder will remember your time zone. You can set the time for two different world locations - such as home and destination - and you can switch between the times by simply pressing a button.

Playback Time with your HD Video Camera

You've poured your creative juices into your projects - now, sit back and playback your work. Use a memory card or connect with a cable - either way, you are sure to have easy viewing. If your TV is HDMI-compatible, a single HDMI mini cable is all you need. When using a video component cable, you need a separate audio cable. You can also connect your HD camcorder to a VIERA or compatible Blu-ray Disc Player via an HDMI mini cable, and you can control both units in a single synchronized operation by using just one remote control. This simple technology makes your viewing pleasure smoother.

You can make a copy either in the original high-definition AVCHD format, or in the standard-definition DVD-Video (MPEG-2) format. Go on, the world awaits your next share.
