Small camcorder, big results

By making the HDCSD9 compatible with the super-small SDHC/SD memory card, Panasonic has created one of the smallest and lightest 3CCD full-HD camcorders available. The SD9 fits comfortably in the hand and can be used for long periods of time without causing fatigue.

Never miss a detail

The HDCSD9 full-HD camcorder records horizontal pixels at an HD resolution of up to 1920 pixels, which results in a total of around 2,070,000 pixels. And with progressive scanning, the SD9 provides twice as much data per picture as conventional interlace scanning. This means you get breathtaking images with exceptional resolution and detail. Combine that with a 1080/24p format, which lets you capture scenes with a rich, film-like quality, and you can see why the HDCSD9 takes visual expression to the next level.

Face detection technology

With face detection (offered for the first time for recording moving pictures), the HDCSD9 makes it easy to capture beautiful faces and clear backgrounds even in dim or backlit scenes. This new function, which can detect up to five faces at once, automatically adjusts the exposure and smooths skin tones according to the ambient brightness, so faces are bright and easy to see.

Intelligent shooting guide/selection playback

A new intelligent shooting guide function helps you get magnificent shots by displaying a text message in the LCD monitor, telling you which settings are best for the current shooting conditions. With intelligent selection playback, poor or inadvertent shots (such as shots of the ground or overly dark scenes) are skipped and all normal scenes are played while viewing.

Reduce camera shake

Pansonic's Advanced Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) suppresses the effects of hand shake as you shoot. The system uses gyrosensors to detect hand shake, then shifts a lens and adjusts the optical axis to compensate. This all happens a remarkable 4,000 times per second. And because the system is optical, no image quality is lost. Thanks to Advanced O.I.S., the images you capture look incredibly clear, sharp, and beautiful on a big TV screen.

World-class optics

Developed specifically for full-HD digital camcorders, the world-class Leica Dicomar® lens system is made using a multi-coating process that prevents light reflection and glare, which can make colors bleed and images appear washed out. It also prevents rings or light, or "ghosts".

Included with purchase

AC adaptor, lithium-ion battery pack, 8GB SD card, video component cable, AV cable, USB cable, IR remote, AC/DC cables, HD Writer 2.5E software.
