Simply Breathtaking: Full-HD 1920 x 1080 Progressive* Images
Why Is the Image Quality So Much Better?
Panasonic Full-HD camcorders record horizontal
pixels at Full-HD resolution of up to 1,920 pixels,
which results in a total of around 2,070,000 pixels.
Panasonic Full-HD camcorders use progressive
scanning, which provides twice as much data per
picture as conventional interlace scanning. This means
you get images with exceptional resolution and detail.
The 1080/25p format used by Panasonic Full-HD
camcorders lets you capture scenes with a rich, film-
like quality. Add it up and you can see why Panasonic
Full-HD camcorders, with their Full-HD 1920 x 1080
progressive* recording, take visual expression a leap
ahead.
*Progressive scanning refers to the 1080/25p (25 pictures per second) recording format.
Interlace Scanning
Only half of the image data is reproduced in each picture. Fabric patterns run together, and flickering appears.
Progressive Scanning
Reproduces all of the image data in a single picture. Patterns
in fabric are crisp and clear, with no colour bleeding.
