Panasonic HDC-HS80K Camcorder covers a wide range of shooting situations from close distances to faraway subjects. Using Intelligent Zoom that employs super-high resolution technology and the Crystal Engine PRO, it offers ultra-telephoto Intelligent Zoom shooting to exceed the magnification range of the optical zoom, up to a high-powered 42x zoom. It also features a 33.7mm wide-angle lens. to realize shooting at a close distance from the subject while fitting both the subject and the surrounding area into the frame. 35mm camera equivalent.

HYBRID O.I.S. is a optical/electrical image stabilization system. Further to blurring by vertical/horizontal wrist movements, it detects subtle blurring by vertical/horizontal entire arm movement and corrects them using a lens in the optical system and a sensor in electrical system. In electrical image stabilization, utilizing an unused area of the sensor when zooming, suppresses image degradation. Powerful correction realizes beautiful images even when shooting on the move or zooming.

The evolved Zoom Mic links the microphone's action to the camera's action. When zooming in on a bird in the distance, for example, the microphones also zoom in on the bird in link with the lens zooming operation. The function also reduces the surrounding noise to about 1/3 (-10 dB) that of conventional models and realizes recording the sounds with superb clarity. The Wind Noise Canceller automatically detects and suppresses only wind noise to ensure natural sounds.

The iA (Intelligent Auto), consists of six functions: Face Recognition, new HYBRID O.I.S., AF/AE Tracking, Intelligent Scene Selector, Face Detection and Intelligent Contrast Control, senses the shooting conditions and automatically makes the settings and activates functions that will deliver optimal results. With both motion and still images, iA does the bothersome settings for you and makes it easy to capture beautiful, well-focused images. The functions included in iA may not be applied when conditions do not call for them.

Features:

Intelligent 42x Zoom and HYBRID O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer): The HD 80 Series features an Intelligent Zoom function that goes all the way up to 42x. When using Intelligent Zoom, Intelligent Resolution technology lets you shoot at high zoom rates while preserving the image resolution
O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) Lock: The image-stabilizing effect is increased by pressing and holding the O.I.S. Lock indication on the LCD screen, which maximizes the blur detection sensitivity. This is great for when you want to zoom at a fixed angle, like for bird watching
33.7mm Wide Angle: The 33.7mm wide-angle on the HD 80 Series fits more people and more of the background into the frame than conventional models. This is especially handy when you want to take a group photo in a small room
Crystal Engine PRO: The Crystal Engine PRO instantly processes the huge amount of data that goes into Full-HD images and further enhances Full-HD quality
Intelligent Resolution Technology: The Intelligent Resolution Technology incorporated in the new Crystal Engine PRO uses edge detection technology to confirm the edges of objects within the image, then emphasizes the edges for optimal clarity
Zoom Mic: The Zoom Mic function that links with the camera's zoom action has evolved even further. Compared to previous models, the noise-reducing performance is improved by 1/3 (-10dB). It lets you clearly record the sound of your target subject
Wind Noise Canceller: The Wind Noise Canceller automatically detects and suppresses only wind noise. It lets you capture natural sounds with lifelike ambience even when shooting in windy conditions outdoors or by the sea
Still Picture Recording at 3.0MP with Intelligent Resolution Technology: In Still Picture Recording mode, Intelligent Resolution Technology lets you record clear still images with resolution up to 3.0 megapixels
Scene Mode: Automatically selects the most suitable shutter speed and aperture for the shooting location and situation
Soft Skin Mode: When this function detects skin tones, it softens the focus in that area. This has a skin beautifying effect, which makes wrinkles and lines appear less noticeable
Tele-Macro: You can shoot macro close-ups while maintaining a distance of 70cm from your subject. In addition, using zoom at full magnification makes it much easier to capture extreme close-ups without your body or camera casting a shadow on the subject & while keeping the background in soft focus
iA (Intelligent Auto): This powerful function senses the shooting conditions and automatically makes the settings and activates functions that will deliver optimal results
Active Mode: Active mode comes in handy when shooting while walking or playing with your children. The wide correction area corrects even relatively large hand-shake motion. It's especially good for active video shooting
Face Recognition: The Face Recognition function recognizes the faces of registered subjects and automatically optimizes the focus and exposure for those special people
AF/AE Tracking: Touch the LCD screen to indicate the subject, such as a person or an animal, that you want to focus on and let AF/AE Tracking do the rest
Intelligent Scene Selector: The Intelligent Scene Selector function analyzes the shooting situation and automatically switches the camcorder to the suitable scene mode that will give you optimal results
Face Detection: Face Detection automatically senses the ambient lighting and adjusts the exposure accordingly, so faces are bright and easy to see
Intelligent Contrast Control: Intelligent Contrast Control detects the ambient light level and adjusts the exposure accordingly, helping to prevent blown highlights and blocked shadows. You can capture natural looking, highly nuanced images with proper contrast
Special iA Mode for Still Images: The iA function is active even when the camera is in still-image mode. When the Intelligent Scene Selector detects shooting situation, it automatically switches to one of the five Scene modes for still-image shooting and optimizes the settings for the still image
2.7" Wide LCD with Intuitive Touch Operation: The easy-to-view 6.7 cm/2.7" wide LCD screen allows intuitive fingertip touch-operation
1.0 Sec Quick Power-On: Switch the power on and the HD camcorders are in standby mode in approx. 1.0 seconds, ready to shoot when you are
0.6 Sec Quick Start: Using Quick Start mode, you simply flip open the LCD and you're ready to shoot in just 0.6 seconds. When Eco mode is also used, the power turns off whenever the camcorder has not been operated for 5 minutes
120GB HDD: The internal hard drive lets you record continuously for up to 51 hours without changing a disc, SDXC/SDHC/SD Memory Card or other recording media
Pre-Rec Function: This smart function records three seconds of images even before you actually begin shooting. The images are held temporarily in the camcorder's internal memory, before recording begins
Auto Power LCD: The LCD brightness can be adjusted manually to suit the surroundings. In Auto Mode, the LCD brightness is adjusted automatically in 16 smooth steps depending on the surroundings
