Flash Memory Recording
The SDR-S50 records to removable SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, allowing for fast and convenient transfer of video and stills
1/8" CCD Image Sensor
The 1/8" CCD image sensor captures standard definition video and 640 x 480 still images
2.7" LCD Display
The 2.7" LCD gives you an accurate platform on which to compose and playback your video and still footage
78x Enhanced Optical Zoom
Enhanced Optical 78x Zoom takes maximum advantage of the effective CCD area, making it easy to capture a wide range of dynamic images, from sweeping landscapes with the 33mm wide-angle scope to close-ups of distant subjects with the 78x zoom, without having to worry about image degradation
Advanced Optical Image Stabilization
Advanced O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization) shifts a corrective lens as you shoot to help eliminate the effects of hand-shake, so you get clear, sharp shots even at high zoom levels. It's an essential feature for getting the most out of this incredible zoom lens
33mm Wide Angle Lens
The 33mm wide angle setting on the Standard Series fits more people and more of the background into the frame than a conventional model. This is especially handy when you want to take a group photo in a small room. It fits your subjects in even when you shoot from up close, and makes it possible to pick up even small sounds with the mic
iA with AF/AE Tracking
The iA function automatically activates convenient functions during shooting. These include the AF/AE Tracking, which optimizes the focus and exposure for a selected subject to ensure beautiful results. After you "lock on" to a subject at the center of the screen by pressing the AF/AE button, the camera follows it around, keeping it in sharp focus and properly exposed. The iA function, including Face Detection, Advanced O.I.S., Intelligent Contrast Control and Intelligent Scene Selector, produces outstanding results under virtually all shooting conditions
YouTube Uploading
YouTube Uploading makes it fast and easy to upload clips by simply installing the VideoCam Suite software, which is included
Quick Power On
Panasonic's Quick Power-On feature helps capture candid shots, while also saving energy by allowing the user to keep the LCD closed and the power off when not shooting
Long Recording Mode
Long Recording Mode, which allows for double the record time as the normal record mode, is made possible by the camcorders' support of the H.264/AVC format with its higher compression ratio
Intelligent Contrast Control
Intelligent Contrast Control, which automatically adjusts brightness to maintain the best possible contrast, has also been added to the three advanced functions from previous models, including Face Detection, Advanced O.I.S., and Intelligent Scene Selector
