3MOS AVCCAM shoulder-mount camcorder with its high-resolution 3MP imager offers multiple AVCCAM recording formats and enhanced professional functions for stable, shoulder-mount shooting. Uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 high profile encoding - which provides a doubling of bandwidth efficiency and improved video performance over the older MPEG-2 compression based formats (e.g. HDV), so recordings look clean and crisp, even during fast motion, without image degradation or dropouts. The camera offers useful solid-state recording functions including pre-record, interval recording, shot marker and metadata capture. Additional features include waveform monitor display, focus assists such as focus bar display and enlarged display, auto focus with face detection, white balance, mode display, zebra display, color bars, tally lamps, slow smooth zoom and soft landing, slow shutter and synchro-scan shutter functions, and three programmable user buttons. A wireless remote is also included. It can also take 10.6MP still images and store them as standard JPEGs on the solid state card.
