Panasonic PV-GS400 Camcorder

Get True, Crisp Color Images with our 3CCD Camera System
The PV-GS400, with its 3CCD Camera System, reproduces color in great fidelity by using a separate CCD for reds, greens and blues. It's the same 3CCD technology used in Panasonic professional broadcast equipment, resulting in 540 lines of breathtaking resolution. You can count on Panasonic 3CCD Digital Camcorders to give you colors that are as rich and vibrant as your life.

Quality Pictures Start with a Quality Leica Dicomar Lens
World-renowned lens-maker LEICA has developed an exquisite, 12-element, multi-coated lens that helps add a high-level of detail and subtlety to your creations. With refinements like a 2-stage neutral density filter for aperture independent adjustment, you'll appreciate the remarkably crisp, true-to-life color that is a hallmark of Leica Dicomar optics.

Capture Still Pictures with Outstanding Quality
Quad-Density Pixel Distribution Technology makes it possible to capture still pictures with amazing megapixel quality. The tiny 2.5-micron intervals between pixels are shifted by one-half pitch both vertically and horizontally, which distributes them on the CCD with four times the density of previous systems. It enables model PV-GS400 to capture still pictures with incredible detail at up to 4.0 Megapixels.

Optical Image Stabilizer Helps Eliminate Blurred Images
The Optical Image Stabilizer helps you obtain clear, beautiful pictures by compensating for any hand movement that occurs as you shoot video. Gyrosensors detect the amount and direction of movement, while a linear motor adjusts the lenses as needed to compensate. You get clear, sharp images in situations where hand-shake is typically a problem, like wide-angle shots or high magnification levels of the zoom.

12x Optical Zoom and 700x Digital Zoom Produce an Incredibly Close Shot
An optical zoom this powerful works like a telescope to produce close-up shots with extraordinary clarity. With the different zoom speeds, you can control how quick you go from a wide angle to telephoto zoom - anywhere from 2 to 22 seconds. And through the use of digital technology, the zoom ratio on all Digital Camcorders can be increased digitally, producing an incredibly close shot. You won't miss a single detail!

Easy Video Transfer to your PC with Motion DV Studio LE
This convenient feature allows you to link the camcorder to your computer via the USB port. Then, you can easily transfer still images captured on Mini DV tape to your computer for use in e-mail or printed documents.
