    1920 x 1080 Progressive (25 fps) Full-HD Recording.                       

    Full-HD recording 1920 x 1080p, provides exceptional image details and offers a grat companion to your FHD television.

    Face Detection

    The SD9 introduce Panasonic's first Face Detection function for use in recording moving pictures with a camcorder.

    Face Detection automatically locates any faces in the picture and adjusts the exposure, contrast and skin tone to achieve optimal results. Even when the faces are backlit or the lighting is low, the recorded faces are clear and easy to see and not lost in the shadows.

    With FaceHDC-SD9-32 Full High Definition 3CCD SD Card Camcorder Detection, there's no longer a need to use different correction functions in different kinds of shooting situations.

    Intelligent Shooting Guide

    To maximise the advantage of Full High Definition 1920 x 1080p (25fps), users must shoot top quality footage. Errors in shooting the footage can often lead to dissapointment.

    The SD9 assist users and the results are less mistakes. 

    Intelligent Shooting Guide detects when shooting conditions are poor such as when the camcorder is panning too quickly or tilted, the user's hand is swinging, the subject is backlit, or the lighting is too low - and displays operating advice in the LCD. Users become aware of a potential problem before they shoot, rather than later when reviewing or playing back the recording.

    This gives them a chance to correct the settings and get good, error-free results every time.

    Intelligent Shooting Selection Playback

    While the Intelligent Shooting Guide helps prevent recording errors, this playback function makes recordings more enjoyable to view. It automatically skips over any shots that have serious errors, such as hand swing, fast panning, out-of-focus images or shots of the ground taken when the user forgot to turn the camcorder off. You see only the good, error-free shots.

     

    3CCD Camera System

    3CCD camera system works by splitting the light received through the lens into its three primary colour components (red, green and blue), and the signal from each is processed by one of the three CCDs. Compared with conventional 1CCD camera systems, Panasonic's 3CCD system provides more vivid, true-to-life colours, greater detail and richer gradation.


    Leica Dicomar Lens

    Photographers around the world know Leica Camera AG as a maker of superb cameras and lenses. This company's advanced optical technology has been fused with Panasonic's leading-edge digital technology to create the Leica Dicomar lens. The Leica Dicomar lens provided in the HDC-SD9 features 12 lens elements in eight groups and uses low-dispersion optical glass to reduce colour blurring. A special multi-coating process is applied to the 14 lens element surfaces to minimise chromatic aberration, so images are crisp, clear, and free of flare and ghosting.

    Advanced O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabiliser)

    Panasonic's O.I.S., which uses gyrosensors to detect hand-shake and shifts the lens unit to correctly align the optical axis, has been further improved to prevent blur even more effectively. The Advanced O.I.S. checks and compensates for hand-shake around 4,000 times per second. Because this is an optical system, there is no loss of quality, resulting in images that are captured in all of their original beauty. Advanced O.I.S. prevents the subtle blurring that can be caused by even a slight bit of hand-shake, and it is truly necessary in an age of large-screen, high-resolution TVs, when every image imperfection is easily visible.

     

    5-Microphone, Advanced 5.1-Channel Surround Sound

    The SD9 feature a 5.1-channel surround sound system with 5 microphones. When recordings made with these models are played on a 5.1-channel home cinema system, viewers are surrounded by a clear, detailed sound that makes them feel as if they are right in the middle of the action.

    In addition, a zoom mic function links the microphone's action to the camera's action. When you zoom in on a bird in the distance, for example, the microphones also zoom in and record the bird's chirping.

    Intelligent Contrast Control

    This intelligent function continually measures the ambient light intensity and adjusts the contrast as it changes. Providing control over a wider range of lighting conditions than previous functions, Intelligent Contrast Control helps prevent a washed-out look in bright parts of an image and black-outs in shadowy parts. You can capture images with natural nuances and contrast. Even when you're shooting toward the light source, Intelligent Contrast Control lets you capture true-to-life pictures with outstanding depth.
