| 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 |

record clear still images with resolution up to 3.0 megapixels |

for the shooting location and situation: Sports, portrait, Low Light
(motion image only), Spot Light, Snow, Beach, Sunset, Fireworks,
Scenery, Night Scenery, Night Portrait (still image only) |
| 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 the 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 background
in soft focus |

Auto): This powerful function senses the shooting conditions and
automatically makes the settings and activates functions that will
deliver optimal results |

(Optical Image Stabilizer): HYBRID O.I.S. corrects hand-shake
blurring by combining the action of its hybrid optical and
electrical image stabilization systems |
| 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 |

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 |

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 |

Contrast Control: Intelligent Contrast Control detects the ambient
light level and adjusts the exposure accordingly, helping to prevent
blown highlights and blocked shadows |
| 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 the
shooting situation, it automatically switches to one of the five
Scene modes for still-image shooting & optimizes the settings for
the still image |
| Smile Shot
(Still Image): The Smile Shot function automatically detects subject
smiles and captures the best possible smile while you're shooting
movies |
