Give your subjects smoother looking skin with Soft Skin Mode
When this function detects skin tones, it softens the focus in that area. This has a skin beautifying effect, which makes wrinkles and lines appear less noticeable. When turned on, this function makes blemishes and moles look less conspicuous, while preserving resolution in areas of the picture outside of the skin.
Easy On/Off saves battery life
When you open the LCD, the power switches on. Shut it and the power goes off. Pull out the viewfinder and the power switches on. Store it and the power goes off. Easy On/Off reduces the time required for operating the camera.
Capture even complex motion with precision MPEG2 Engine
Panasonic's MPEG2 engine is a wide range, high-precision engine that produces smooth, beautiful moving pictures. Because it precisely records the differences in each frame, it can render fast, complex motions with exceptional precision. The MPEG2 engine also uses the Variable Bit Rate system that Panasonic adopted for the high-end DIGA DVD recorder. Giving LP (long play mode) recordings nearly twice the resolution captured with previous Panasonic MPEG2 recording video cameras, this lets the SD e.cam and DVD e.cam record clear, smoothly flowing pictures.
One-Touch Navigation for easy, intuitive setting and shooting without taking your eyes off the subject
Capture crisp, vivid images, even in low lighting with Colour Night View
Leave the light off. Colour Night View gives you images with colour even in dim lighting. Light is gentle and easy on the eyes, so you can snap shots of sleeping children without waking them up.
Quick, comfortable editing, even with large-capacity discs - High-Speed Data Transfer to a DVD Recorder
With DVD's high-speed data transfer, you can dub your recordings quickly and easily onto a DVD video recorder's hard disk drive. Enjoy sophisticated editing with the DVD recorder, or save your recordings onto DVD and create a collection of your own DVDs.
