HDC-TM300

Image sensor size has been increased from previous 1/6 inch to 1/4.1 inch. 3MOS system with 3 full-HD sensors has total pixel count of 9,150,000 pixels* (3,050,000-pixel x 3). While higher pixel count tends to make noise more noticeable when shooting under dim light conditions, HDC-TM300 solves this problem by using 3 high-sensitivity MOS sensors. It records beautiful images even under dim lighting while maintaining high pixel count, thus making it possible to shoot under minimum luminance of 1.6 lx. * Effective motion image pixels: 6,210,000

HDC-HS300 is semiprofessional model ideal for more expressive video shooting. The Manual Ring allows delicate and precise fingertip control of the zoom, focus, aperture, shutter speed and white balance. They are also provided with an electronic viewfinder (EVF) and a mic and headphone terminal to bring a more enjoyable shooting experience to video enthusiasts.

The iA (Intelligent Auto) is provided with separate modes for motion images and still images, and features a AF Tracking function, which is an enhanced version of the popular face detection function in the iA mode of previous models. Once you touch a selected subject on the touch-screen -- the subject can be at the center of the screen or at an edge -- and locks the focus on the subject, AF Tracking keeps the subject in focus even if it moves or turns to one side. This records the subject with the optimal AF/AE settings.

The special still-image mode records with resolution up to 10.6 megapixels, and also allows simultaneous recording of motion images and still images with 8.3 megapixels. And to ensure beautiful results in still-image shooting, the HDC-TM300 is equipped with separate iA and O.I.S. (optical image stabilizer) functions that are dedicated to still images.

HDC-TM300 records full-HD images onto the built-in memory or an SDHC/SD Memory Card (optional), and features a Relay Recording function. When the built-in memory being used to record images becomes full, this function automatically switches the recording media to the SDHC/SD Memory Card to provide uninterrupted recording. The HDC-TM300 has a 32-GB built-in memory for 12 hours of recording (in HE mode). When combined with an SDHC/SD Memory Card, it enables even longer recording. *Inclusion of an SDHC/SD Memory Card varies by market.
