The Panasonic SDR-H40 features Advanced Optical Image Stabilization and the 1/6" CCD (800K pixels) Image sensor. Advanced Optical Image Stabilization technology prevents blurry images. Panasonic’s Advanced O.I.S. uses gyro-sensors to detect hand-shake, then shifts a lens and adjusts its optical axis to compensate. And Advanced Optical Image Stabilization technology checks and compensates for hand-shake around 4,000 times per second. This camcorder also comes with an Intelligent Shooting Guide which helps users to make fewer shooting mistakes. Panasonic’s Anti-Shock Shield helps to protect recorded video data from damage due to jolts and impact. The Drop Detect function senses if the camera is falling and moves the head away from the hard disk. The Floating Structure protects the hard disk should the camera fall or be dropped. The Buffer Memory automatically backs up data while the camera is falling.
The Panasonic SDR-H40 provides users with the VideoCam Suite 1.0 software. The VideoCam Suite 1.0 software allows users to customize the order of scenes or delete unwanted scenes. This camcorder is powered by a lithium-ion battery and provides users with light-weight, long-lasting and reliable power.
