3CCD Camera System

3CCD camera system works by splitting the light received through the lens into its three primary colour components (red, green and blue), and the signal from each is processed by one of the three CCDs. Compared with conventional 1CCD camera systems, Panasonic's 3CCD system provides more vivid, true-to-life colours, greater detail and richer gradation.

Optical Image Stabilisation (O.I.S.)

Panasonic's O.I.S. minimises the hand shake than can be such a problem with hand held shots. This system is optical, menaing there is no image degradation.

Leica Dicomar Lens

Photographers around the world know Leica Camera AG as a maker of superb cameras and lenses. This company's advanced optical technology has been fused with Panasonic's leading-edge digital technology to create the Leica Dicomar lens. The Leica Dicomar lens provided in the HDC-SD9 features 12 lens elements in eight groups and uses low-dispersion optical glass to reduce colour blurring. A special multi-coating process is applied to the 14 lens element surfaces to minimise chromatic aberration, so images are crisp, clear, and free of flare and ghosting.
