Compact and slim enough to fit in a purse or a pocket, the stylish Panasonic SDR-S9 camcorder can be conveniently carried everywhere you go. Resisting damage even from falls up to 1.2 meters, the shockproof design of the Panasonic SDR-S9 is made possible by its improved rigidity and strength in construction. Its interior is also well protected with an intermediate resin chassis to cushion and protect the main circuit board and lens. The water-resistance design allows performance even during rain or snow, or alongside a pool or outside a ski lodge. The camcorder is constructed in a way that you can hold and operate even when your hand is wet.

Boasting high precision and image quality, the wide range and high resolution MPEG2 engine produces smooth and beautiful motion pictures in MPEG2 format. Framing is made easy thanks to its spacious 2.7-inch wide free angle LCD and by pressing the Power LCD button, the LCD becomes brighter which allows for easy viewing in outdoor locations. Equipped with a 10x optical zoom, it gives great flexibility to both motion and still image capture by pulling subjects closer without loss of quality. Panasonic’s Electronic Image Stabilisation does the duty of suppressing blur. Enabling a quick start-up of just 1.7 seconds in the Quick Start Mode, not a precious moment is missed. Recordings are saved to SD and SDHC memory cards.

Salient Features of Panasonic SDR-S9 SD Video Camera

Compact Size and Cool Styling
The S9 is small enough to slip in a pocket or bag. Cool enough to take everywhere you go. This is one stylish camcorder you'll never want to be without.

Shockproof for Falls from upto 1.2Meters
he S9 is designed to resist damage even if dropped from a height of up to 1.2 meters*. We fortified the outer body casing, making it thicker to improve rigidity and strength. Inside, we provided an intermediate resin chassis to cushion and protect the main circuit board and lens. This solid construction makes the S9 our toughest camera yet.

Water-Resistance
A water-resistant design lets you use this camera when it's rainy or snowy outside, or in places where you might get a little wet. The camera is even designed so you can hold and operate it when your hand is wet. This is a camera you can use in places – like alongside a pool or outside a ski lodge – where you never dared take a camcorder before.

Easy shootings at High or Low Angles
You can freely adjust the angle of the LCD monitor for comfortable viewing no matter how you're holding the camera. The SUB REC button on the side makes it easy to shoot when you're holding the camera low. The buttons are laid out simply and logically for easy one-hand operation.

Pure Color Engine
The Pure Colour Engine converts the CCD output signal from a complementary color signal into an RGB signal at an early stage and extracts the low-frequency luminance component from the RGB signal. This innovative engine also achieves truly superb color reproduction for high-zoomed pictures.

High Quality MPEG 2 Engine
Panasonic's MPEG2 engine is a wide-range, high-precision search engine that produces smooth, beautiful motion pictures. Because it precisely records the differences in each frame, it can render fast, complex motions - like those of athletes in the thick of the action - with exceptional precision.The MPEG2 engine also uses Variable Bit Rate technology that Panasonic developed for the high-end DIGA DVD recorder. Giving LP recordings nearly twice the resolution captured with previous Panasonic camcorders, this lets the camcorder record clear, smoothly flowing pictures.

10x Optical Zoom
Distant subjects can be enlarged so they appear to be right up close. This allows dynamic shots of both motion and still pictures.

Power LCD
Simply press the Power LCD button and the LCD becomes brighter, making it easier to see outdoors or in other bright locations. Also, a new scanning technology allows the LCD to show diagonal lines more sharply.

XP / SP / LP Mode
This unit records in VBR. VBR is an abbreviation for Variable Bit Rate. VBR recording automatically varies the bit rate (amount of data in a fixed time) depending on the subject being recorded. This means if a subject with sharp movements is recorded, the recording time is reduced.

One-Touch Navigation and Easy Operation
The cursor makes the camera much easier to use. You can handle a number of operations quickly and easily.

Quick Search and Access with Thumbnail View
Unlike videotape, you don't need to rewind or fast-forward to search for specific scenes. The camcorder LCD screen displays a list of the recorded scenes for quick and easy searching.

Easy On and Off
Easy On / Off reduces the time required for operating the camera. When you open the LCD, the power turns on. Shut it and the power turns off.

1.7sec Quick Start
This Quick Start mode* helps shoot videos on the spur of the moment. This mode lets you shoot those not-to-be-missed scenes by turning on the power just 1.7 sec. from the time the LCD is opened.

Color Night View
Colour Night View gives you smoothly flowing pictures even in dark places, where it's normally difficult to capture good shots.

USB 2.0 (HS Mode)
USB2.0 compatibility lets you upload a motion picture data to a PC at high speed over a single USB cable.

Motion Studio 1.2E
You never have to finalize an SDHC or SD Memory Card, so you can transfer data to a PC right after you shoot. Just slip the card into the slot on the PC, and you're ready to upload and edit. The camera comes with MotionSD STUDIO software that lets you add music and words during editing or copy your recordings onto a DVD disc.
