Original manuals and papers Description as described in documentation: It is a full HD Camcorder with 3MOS Sensor (ie special triple sensor) and optional Manual Operation Recording onto SD Card or 32GB Internal Memory. You choose if the camera records Full HD videos to its 32GB internal flash memory or to SD (SDHC) Memory Card. I have included a 32-GB SDHC Memory Card which can hold around 12 hours of recorded video clips (in HE mode). The TM300 can also copy recorded video images from the SD Memory Card to the internal memory, or vice versa, easily. The TM300 features the Full HD 3MOS sensor, developed by Panasonic based on its proven 3CCD technology. Panasonic's new 3MOS system captures more vibrant, true-to-life colours, greater detail and richer gradation. The iA function automatically activates several convenient shooting functions. These include Advanced O.I.S., which compensates for hand-shake to eliminate blurring; Face Detection, which adjusts the exposure so faces are captured perfectly; and Intelligent Contrast Control, which helps ensure proper contrast. Also included is the Intelligent Scene Selector, which determines the shooting conditions and automatically selects the scene setting that will provide optimal results. (Face/Scenery/Low light/Spot Light) and AF Tracking keeps the subject in focus even as it moves around ensuring image quality. The Manual Ring is provided for users who want more creative freedom in their image production. with the new HDC-TM300 users can enjoy precise, responsive fingertip control over five key settings -- zoom, focus, iris, shutter speed, and white balance. Image sensor size has been increased from previous 1/6 inch to 1/4.1 inch. The 3MOS system with 3 full-HD sensors has total pixel count of pixels* (-pixel x 3). While higher pixel count tends to make noise more noticeable when shooting under dim light conditions, HDC-TM300 solves this problem by using 3 high-sensitivity MOS sensors. It records beautiful images even under dim lighting while maintaining high pixel count, thus making it possible to shoot under minimum luminance of 1.6 lx. * Effective motion image pixels: Auto pause feature when lowered.
