PANASONIC DIGITAL CAMCORDERS PV-GS31
PV-GS31
Digital Palmcorder® MultiCam™ Camcorder with 26x Optical Zoom and 1000x Digital Zoom
Really Get Up Close with a 26x Optical Zoom and 1000x Digital Zoom1
The optical zoom feature acts like a telescope to produce close-up shots with extraordinary clarity so you won’t miss a single detail. It also offers variable zoom speeds, so you can adjust your zoom speed from wide angle to full telephoto. In addition, the digital zoom ratio can be increased up to an extraordinary 1000x. Now that’s close up!.
Simultaneous Motion Video & Still Picture Recording (VGA)
Now you can snap off a still shot (VGA) while recording video without having to change recording modes. The video is recorded onto the Mini DV tape and the still image is recorded onto the SD Memory Card. This 2-in-1 capability means you can catch sudden photo opportunities without interrupting a great moving picture scene.
Soft Skin Mode Helps Soften Blemishes and Lines
This feature detects skin tones and softens the focus in that area of the picture. It helps make blemishes and lines appear less noticeable, while preserving resolution in areas of the picture outside the skin.
One-Touch Navigation and Joystick Control
The joystick makes the camera much easier to use, letting you control all basic operations with one hand. 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.
Built-in LED Video Light & Color Night View
When illumination is insufficient, turn on the built-in LED video light to take crisp, colorful movies. The LED has low power consumption, long service life, and the safety of a low operating temperature. Color Night View gives you smoothly flowing pictures even in dark places, where it’s normally difficult to capture good shots. And since the Super Image Stabilizer corrects for hand-shake, you get beautiful pictures with minimal afterimages.
