Manufacturer's Description
LEICA DICOMAR Lens
World renowned lens-maker LEICA has developed an exquisite, 7-element, multi-coated lens that helps add a high-level of detail and subtlety to your creations, resulting in truly moving images that last. With refinements like a 2-stage neutral density filter for aperture independent adjustment, you'll appreciate the remarkably crisp, true-to-life color that is a hallmark of Leica Dicomar optics.
3CCD Camera System
Reproduces color in great fidelity, with a separate CCD for reds, greens and blues. It's the same technology used in Panasonic professional broadcast equipment, resulting in 540 lines of breathtaking resolution.
Quad-Density Pixel Distribution Technology
Select camcorders include this highly advanced technology that was originally developed for broadcast-quality cameras to help maximize picture quality. It is accomplished by the use of both vertical and horizontal pixel shifting to yield improved clarity and performance.
i.Link
Lets you connect your camcorder to a PC for advanced viewing and editing purposes. This digital technology also lets you connect your camcorder to a similarly equipped camcorder to make duplicate copies of your recordings with practically no loss of picture quality.
CARD LINK
SD Memory Cards offer a simple, lightweight way to transfer your images to a PC5. It even lets you create images on your PC to use while you shoot videos with your camcorder. This revolutionary medium is included on all models with the CARD LINK function.
Built-in SD Memory Card Drive
SD Memory Cards are versatile, high-capacity storage cards that are extremely small - about the size of a postage stamp. They work as "digital film," letting you capture images and then transfer them to a PC, TV, PDA, or other device equipped with an SD slot.
