Panasonic PV-GS90 MiniDV Camcorder with 42x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

The PV-GS90 miniDV camcorder's 42x optical zoom lens has the power you need to take dramatic close ups or get remarkable shots of even distant subjects. But with long-distance zoom shots even a tiny bit of hand shake has a huge effect on picture quality. That's where Panasonic's Advanced Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) comes in suppressing the effects of hand shake as you shoot. The system uses gyro sensors to detect hand shake then shifts a lens and adjusts the optical axis to compensate. This all happens a remarkable 4000 times per second. And because the system is optical no image quality is lost. Thanks to Advanced O.I.S. the images you capture look incredibly clear sharp and blur-free even at high zoom levels. When illumination is insufficient turn on this camcorder's built-in LED video light to take crisp colorful movies. The LED (light emitting diode) has low power consumption long service life and the safety of a low-operating temperature. Or leave the light off and turn on the MagicPix function to capture sharp images with color even in dim lighting (1 lux). Light from the LCD is gentle and easy on the eyes so you can snap shots of sleeping children without waking them up. With One-Touch Navigation just press the center of the joystick to display an operating menu. The operations you use most often appear right on the monitor so it's easy to change settings or operate the camera without looking away from your subject. The Soft Skin function detects skin tones softening the focus on those areas. This has a skin-beautifying effect which makes wrinkles and lines appear less noticeable. When turned on this function makes blemishes and moles look less conspicuous while preserving resolution in areas of the picture and outside of the skin.
