Capture even complex motion with precision MPEG2 Engine
Panasonic's MPEG2 engine is a wide-range, high-precision engine that produces smooth, beautiful moving pictures. Because it precisely records the differences in each frame, it can render fast, complex motions with exceptional precision. The MPEG2 engine also uses the Variable Bit Rate system that Panasonic adopted for the high-end DIGA DVD recorder. Giving LP (long play mode) recordings nearly twice the resolution captured with previous Panasonic MPEG2 recording video cameras, this lets the SD e.cam and DVD e.cam record clear, smoothly flowing pictures.
Capture crisp, vivid images, even in low lighting - Colour Night View
Leave the light off. Colour Night View gives you images with colour even in dim lighting. Light is gentle and easy on the eyes, so you can snap shots of sleeping children without waking them up.
Real-time visual communication WEB Camera Function
With the camera connected via USB cable to a PC, start up Windows® Messenger and the camera instantly turns into a web camera. Ideal for teleconferencing over the Internet, or for surveillance camera use.
High-performance image processing Pure Colour Engine
Pure Colour Engine converts the CCD output signal from a complementary colour signal into an RGB signal at an early stage and extracts the low-frequency luminance component from the RGB signal. This innovative engine also achieves truly superb colour reproduction for high-zoomed pictures.
Easy On/Off saves battery life
When you open the LCD, the power switches on. Shut it and the power goes off. Pull out the viewfinder and the power switches on. Store it and the power goes off. Easy On/Off reduces the time required for operating the camera.
Give your subjects smoother looking with Soft Skin Mode
When this function detects skin tones, it softens the focus in that area. This has a skin beautifying effect, which makes wrinkles and lines appear less noticeable. When turned on, this function makes blemishes and moles look less conspicuous, while preserving resolution in areas of the picture outside of the skin.
