Hybrid Full-HD Camcorder featuring Advanced 3MOS System and 3D technology

Panasonic brings you the amazing HDC-HS900 3MOS High Definition Camcorder with 220GB HDD. Boasting a host of technical specifications such as full HD recording (1920 x 1080, 50 progressive scan), 3D shooting via an optional 3D conversion lens, an ultra wide 35mm wide-angle lens, the renowned advanced 3MOS system and newly developed HYBRID O.I.S, this camcorder is the perfect feature packed solution.

Advanced 3MOS System and Leica Dicomar lens for outstanding image quality

The HS900's high-sensitivity 3MOS system achieves 11.49 million effective motion image pixels (3.83 megapixels x 3). This new image sensor offers beautiful images with significantly better colour quality, detail and gradation than the 1MOS sensor system.

Full-HD progressive recording with SDXC/SDHC/SD memory card recording

Progressive recording conveys about twice the information of 1080i (interlace) recording to produce the ultimate beauty in image quality, even exceeding conventional Full-HD images, and minimises afterimages and flickering caused by subject motion. A 64GB SDXC card (optional) can record approximately 27 hours and 30 minutes of 1920 x 1080i High Definition video in HE mode, and approximately 5 hours 20 minutes of 1920 x 1080p full High Definition video in 1080/50p mode.

3D image shooting with the 3D conversion lens

Dynamic 3D content can now be created and experienced first hand using Panasonic’s optional 3D conversion lens, the VW-CLT1. In natural vision, people see slightly different images with their right and left eyes. This visual disparity is artificially produced for 3D images so that the brain will interpret it as depth and solid-appearing objects. The VW-CLT1 records right-eye and left-eye images simultaneously through its two lenses. The right and left images (each with 960 x 1080 pixels) that enter through the lenses are recorded using the side-by-side method.

New HYBRID O.I.S. means that when your hands are shaky, your film won’t be

The HYBRID OIS is a hybrid optical and electrical image stabilisation system which achieves powerful correction during zooming or when shooting on the move. In addition to the blurring caused by vertical or horizontal wrist movements, the camcorders can also detect the subtle blurring that occurs when the entire arm moves vertically or horizontally, and correct it using a lens in the optical system and a sensor in the electrical system. 

Get more in the frame with a widelens and Intelligent Zoom

The 12x optical zoom lens is further enhanced by Intelligent Resolution technology in the Crystal Engine Pro image-processing circuit to produce the new 20x Intelligent Zoom for greater image detail. Plus, the HS900 is equipped with a 35mm wide-angle lens that is fantastic for a variety of shooting situations, like self-portraits, group photos indoors and landscape shots.

Let iA (Intelligent Auto) do all the hard work

The iA (Intelligent Auto) mode features the special Face Recognition function that recognises the faces of previously registered subjects and automatically optimises the focus and exposure for those people. iA even continues to track the subjects as they move anywhere within the LCD frame, making it ideal for video shooting.

Easy to operate 3.5” LCD touch-screen technology

The camcorders offer touch operation functions designed for easy operation.  In addition to the single handed variable speed zooming of previous models, the new Touch Zoom function provides stable zooming while recording.Touch Shutter automatically focuses and takes a still picture when the user touches the subject on the screen. You can even change thumbnail pages by sliding a fingertip across the screen.

Share your memories via your favourite social networking sites

For easier sharing of your memories, the included software makes it quick and easy to upload your videos to YouTube and Facebook. For added convenience, the HS900 also supports the iFrame (960 x 540/30p) video recording format, which is optimal for Mac users to import quickly and maintain small file sizes
