HDC-HS20 Full HD 80GB HDD Camcorder
The HS20 is a hybrid camcorder that records Full HD images either on an SD (or SDHC) Memory Card or the built-in 80GB hard disk drive. A 32-GB SDHC Memory Card** can hold around 12 hours of recorded video clips (in HE mode). The HS20 can copy recorded video images from the SD Memory Card to the hard disk, or vice versa, with easy operation.
The iA function automatically activates several convenient shooting functions. These include Advanced O.I.S., which compensates for hand-shake to eliminate blurring; Face Detection, which adjusts the exposure so faces are captured perfectly; and Intelligent Contrast Control, which helps ensure proper contrast. Also included is the Intelligent Scene Selector, which determines the shooting conditions and automatically selects the scene setting that will provide optimal results. And AF Tracking keeps the subject in focus even if it moves around to ensure continuously perfect image quality.
The HS20 records on both SD and SDHC Memory Cards. Because SD Memory Cards require no transport mechanism, the HS20 is highly resistant to external impact. This combines with its small size and weight to achieve unmatched mobility.
