Advanced O.I.S. and 50x Optical Zoom
One-Touch DVD Copying
VideoCam Suite 1.0
If you have a powerful zoom, you need optical image stabilization
Easy archiving with a DVD burner
Anyone can enjoy easy, versatile editing!
This 50x zoom lens has the power you need to take dramatic closeups or get remarkable shots of
even distant subjects. But with long-distance zoom shots, even a tiny bit of hand shake has a huge
effect on picture quality. That's where image stabilization comes in. Panasonic's Advanced O.I.S.
(Optical Image Stabilization) shifts a corrective lens as you shoot to eliminate the effects of hand
shake, so you get clear, sharp, blur-free shots even at high zoom levels. It's an essential feature for
getting the most out of this incredible zoom lens.
*H40: 42x optical zoom
The HDD camcorder's USB Host function lets you connect directly to a
DVD burner via a USB cable. You can then copy recordings from the hard
disk to a DVD disc by simply pressing a button.

Panasonic's Advanced O.I.S. is a new image stabilizing
function that achieves around eight times higher precision
than our previous system. The system uses gyro-sensors to detect hand-
shake, then shifts a lens and adjusts its optical axis to compensate.
Advanced O.I.S. enables fi ner, more effective hand-shake compensation.
