The Panasonic SDR-T70 Camcorder is a budget-friendly way to record your life. With more controls and larger storage capacity than most pocket camcorders, the T70 is a great option for those looking for an entry-level camcorder that does more than just point and shoot. In addition, the camera's 4GB of built-in flash memory and the SDXC/SDHC/SD memory card slot provides hours upon hours of storage.
The T70 has a 2.7" LCD screen, a 33mm wide-angle lens, which allows you to get everyone in the shot, and handy features like 78x Enhanced optical zoom, and Advanced Optical Image Stabilization for a steady image. User-friendly shooting controls like Intelligent Auto and Intelligent Scene Selector take the guesswork out of shooting for you by automatically picking the correct settings for any given situation. And other features, like editing and uploading options, help you to share your video in a number of ways.
Zoom Shooting:
The effect of hand-shake is suppressed, resulting in a clear, beautiful image. The correction range is automatically adjusted to correspond to the amount of hand-shake. Because the system is optical, the loss of image quality is minimal
Wide Shooting:
The correction range is automatically adjusted to correspond to the amount of hand-shake
The Zoom Mic function that links with the camera's zoom action has evolved. Compared to previous Panasonic models, the noise-reducing performance is improved by 1/3 (-10dB). It lets you clearly record the sound of your target subject
The Wind Noise Canceller automatically detects and suppresses only wind noise. It lets you capture natural sounds with lifelike ambience even when shooting in windy conditions outdoors or by the sea
Scene modes:
Sports, Portrait, Low Light, Spot Light, Snow, Beach, Sunset, Fireworks, Scenery, Night Scenery
Using the face as reference, the exposure is adjusted to capture faces beautifully. Focusing priority is also placed on the face, and the skin tone is smoothed
The exposure is optimized to give you clear images, without blown highlights in strongly lit areas like the sky
For scenes with particularly strong contrast, such as when you're shooting a spot-lit area on a darkened stage. It captures the well-lit subject perfectly and prevents washed-out areas
In dim lighting, the camcorder automatically switches to a slower shutter speed so that images across the entire frame are bright and easy to see
Use Quick Start mode. You simply flip open the LCD and you're ready to shoot in just 0.8 second. When Eco mode is also used, the power turns off whenever the camcorder has not been operated for 5 minutes. This reduces wasted power consumption, and enables a longer battery life
How to combine motion images that are split onto two types of media as a continuous scene
If the SDXC/SDHC/SD memory card has sufficient capacity, it's possible to arrange all of that split data as a single continuous scene on the SDXC/SDHC/SD memory card
You can also using the editing software that is included with the camcorder to join the split data as a continuous scene
If the SDXC/SDHC/SD memory card is not big enough to hold all of the split data, use a DVD burner to create a disc with all the motion images as a single continuous scene
The joystick makes the camera much easier to use, letting you control all basic operations quickly. As you shoot, just watch the image in the monitor and follow the instruction guide. You can handle a number of operations quickly and easily, without even taking your eye off the subject
This function makes it easy to split up the recorded scenes and delete the front half or back half
The function-packed standard model lets you shoot in your own unique style. When you want to post videos onto YouTube, it's convenient to shoot in Web mode, which has a 10 minute countdown system
As soon as you connect the camcorder to a PC, a Smart Wizard is automatically activated. Then, select "Online Sharing"
The Online Sharing function lets you upload your videos onto YouTube or Facebook. VideoCam Suite makes it so easy to share your videos
