The Panasonic HDC-HS9 offers full High-Definition, 1920 x 1080 progressive recording (24 frames per second) and use the AVCHD video format. In addition, it features Panasonic's original 3CCD system, Advanced MEGA O.I.S. Optical Image Stabilizer, and a Leica Dicomar lens. Advanced MEGA O.I.S. checks and compensates for handshake around 4,000 times per second, about eight times more effectively than Panasonic's previous systems. In a 3CCD camera system, the light received through the lens is split into its three primary color components and a signal from each is processed by one of the 3CCDs to provide rich and detailed video images. Face Detection automatically locates any faces in the picture and adjusts the exposure, contrast and skin tone to achieve optimal results. With Intelligent Shooting Guide, the HDC-HS9 will detect when shooting conditions are poor and then display tips on the LCD as a way for you to correct the error before recording the content. Intelligent Shooting Guide can detect errors when the camcorder is panning too quickly or tilted, when the user's hand is swinging, when the subject is backlit, or the lighting is too low. The HS9 is a hybrid model and can record full-High Definition images onto either an SD (or SDHC) Memory Card or to its built-in 60-GB hard disk. The 60-GB hard disk can hold up to 23 hours. Starts recording just 0.6 second from the time the LCD is opened, making it easier to catch those special moments that come with no warning
