In both Fine and Normal modes, images are recorded at the same rate used in TV broadcasts-to ensure clear, natural-looking pictures with smoothly flowing motion. You can also record MPEG4 video, which produces natural-looking action footage without a choppy frame-by-frame effect. MPEG4 is ideal for sharing over the Internet by e-mail, posting on Web pages or viewing on a compatible PC or television.

More Panasonics VDR-D300 DVD camcorder captures crisp, high-resolution digital video on convenient 8cm DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM discs. The DVD-RAM format allows non-linear editing right in the camcorder, and gives the greatest flexibility in re-recording. By recording directly to a blank DVD, you'll preserve the sharpness and color of the special events in your life, as beautifully as you remember them. The Leica lenses don't miss a detail and neither will you, with the 10x optical and 700x digital zoom. Preview your footage through the 2.7" LCD screen, then transfer images to a PC or digital camera through a USB port or SD slot. Your new DVDs will work in almost any DVD-RAM, DVD-R or DVD-RW player, so you can share those great moments as soon as they're recorded. Less
