Description

Equipped with Intelligent 90x Zoom/Optical 50x Zoom. This model lets you easily shoot distant subjects that are too far away to capture clearly with conventional zoom functions.

The Level Shot function automatically detects and corrects the tilting of captured images. The models use hybrid processing based on an acceleration sensor plus a gyro sensorto improve tilt tracking by 30% for more stable shooting. Images are more level even when shooting in an unstable or awkward position, such as low angle or high angle.

Connect to a Remote Pan Tilt Cradle, and you can make the camera rotate automatically.The motion sensor and face recognition function allow you to automatically capture video of everyone's faces at parties and other gatherings.The motion sensor even lets you use the camera to watch over pets when you are nothome.You can operate directly from the camcorder, or use remote control with the Panasonic Image App.

Using Wi-Fi, you can check on the baby with a smartphone ortablet in another room. The Push Notification function alerts the smartphone ortablet if a voice sensor detects the baby waking up and making a sound, and you can even speakto the baby overthe monitor.
