Panasonic VDR-M53 DVD Palmcorder Camcorder - Panasonic VDRM53 Record directly onto DVD-RAM or DVD-R discs for multiple recording and playback options. With DVD-RAM discs you never have to worry about erasing a recording or finding blank space. You can just start recording. DVD-RAM discs can also be played back in compatible devices, like select computers and home DVD-players. DVD-R discs are strong and versatile, and can also be played back on most home DVD players. You can also capture still images - still pictures - with this camcorder. You can record onto SD Memory Cards. These versatile, high-capacity storage cards are extremely small--about the size of a postage stamp. They work as digital film, letting you capture images and then transfer them to a compatible PC, TV, PDA, or other device equipped with an SD slot. It is an easy way to share your images with friends and family. Electronic Image Stabilization helps keep images super sharp by filtering out normal hand movements that can result in jitter. The 24x optical zoom acts like a telescope to produce close-up shots with extraordinary clarity. With variable zoom speeds, you can adjust how fast the camcorder lens moves from wide-angle to full telescope. In addition, the digital zoom ratio can be increased up to an extraordinary 800x. Now that's close up! But the most fun is that you're recording straight onto DVD discs so you can kiss those tapes good-bye as you say hello to the VDR-M53 Palmcorder from Panasonic.SD/MMC Slot for still images (media not included)Auto & Manual FocusLow Light Mode Sensitivity Selector12 Lux Minimum IlluminationBuilt-in Stereo MicrophoneFade In/OutStill Photo Self TimerCompatible with 8cm DVD-R (general v2.0) & DVD-RAM (v2.1)Wind Noise ReductionDisc Remaining IndicatorCold Accessory ShoeComposite (RCA) OutputS-Video OutputUSB 2.0 PortIncludes -Multi A/V Cable (RCA & S-Video), Lithium-
