The Panasonic NV-GS27 is a compact "PAL" digital camcorder that offers precise image quality and color accuracy. Fully loaded, designed for the needs of the enthusiast and first-timer alike. Incorporates a 30x optical zoom lens for unprecedented imaging power and shooting versatility.
Additional features include a PhotoShot digital still capability, and a navigation system that can be managed with a one-finger joystick for maximum efficiency in tight shooting conditions.
One-Finger Menu Navigation
The thumb wheel allows you to access basic options like JPEG playback, memory-card recording, and tape recording quickly. A separate joystick allows for deeper navigation of menu features and camera controls.
FireWire Interface
The industry standard IEEE-1394 PC interface allows you to connect the camcorder to a compatible computer for advanced editing. You can also make duplicates of your recordings without any loss in picture quality
Soft Skin Mode
This feature detects skin tones, and softens the focus in that area of the picture. Blemishes and lines appear less noticeable, while other areas in the picture remain sharp.
5 Mode Program AE (Auto Exposure)
You can prepare your camcorder for almost any recording condition by using the following automatic exposure settings: Sports Mode, Portrait Mode, Low Light, Spot Light, and Surf & Snow.
MagicPix Images
A great way to record still images, even in low-light conditions. Now you can capture still images in full color onto the camcorder's mini DV tape.
PhotoShot digital still camera
The PhotoShot digital still camera feature lets you use the camcorder as a still camera. The camcorder is also ready for a variety of multimedia applications and can easily serve as a web camera for videoconferencing.
Progressive PhotoShot Mode
This feature helps to eliminate fuzziness by capturing the image to a SD Card, and then temporarily storing the image in two separate fields. The two images of the exact same moment are then combined, with no time lag, to produce images of better quality than standard recorded stills.
Cinema Mode
Allows you to record video in widescreen mode, giving you a 16:9 aspect ratio. When played back on a television, the result is dramatic looking cinema-like movies at home.
