Description
Panasonic's new multi-format DVD camcorder, the 3CCD model VDR-D250 has features which are perfect for beginners right though to enthusiasts!
Multi-format DVD compatibility
All Panasonic DVD camcorders in 2006 offer compatibility with a variety of formats, DVD-RAM/-RW/-R. DVD-RAM is an easy recording media for everyone to use as it has the greatest flexibility in re-recording. Capable of being rewritten 100,000 times without losing any quality, it has an unsurpassed durability!
Also it is highly convenient as there is no need to spend time and effort finalising the disks. Using these camcorders, you can also record onto DVD-R and DVD-RW discs, which will play back in most standard DVD players, existing AV equipment and your PC.
Also includes an SD card slot allowing for further networking capabilities. THe VDR-D250's extensive features allow you to take filming so much further!
MPEG2 encoding engine:
Panasonic's VDR-D250 camcorder incorporates a new MPEG2 encoding engine which can deliver high-precision image rendering even if your subject is moving fast, while suppressing noise.
This is because moving images are recorded in VBR (Variable Bit Rate) method so that the horizontal resolution is not deteriorated but maintained even in the LP mode recording. This is then able to achieve an image quality that is just as high as those recorded in SP mode whilst allowing all the space saving benefits of recording in LP.
It just keeps getting easier!
In addition, the camcorder has USB 2.0 compatibility to give high-speed uploading of DVD video data to a PC over a single USB cable. The included software application makes it easy to amend DVD video footage, enabling you to edit and polish your footage to create professional looking DVD videos. They can then be saved for keepsakes or easily re-saved onto DVDs of multi formats.
Supreme ease of use:
DVD camcorders record directly onto disk. Panasonic's disk navigator then allowsyou to quickly search and access any part of the recorded footage. The video camera's LCD screen displays a list of the recorded scenes which you can easily jump to. The disk navigator also allows you to edit directly onto the camcorder,for example you can delete or move scenes to create your own playlists.
The joystick control adds to the ease of use when using these stunning camcorders. This enables you to easily access functions with only one hand. Additionally, icons representing the functions that are used most during playback or shooting are displayed as icons on the LCD monitor.
Therefore a number of operations can be accessed quickly and easily, without taking your focus off the subject. For an added benefit, this range has also been equipped with the Help mode. This help mode further improves the ease of camera use by providing explanations of display icons and operating procedures.
