This model uses a 2.95-47.2mm lens with 16x in optical zoom and 1000x in digital zoom. For memory, there is a 16GB (about 3 hours of HD videos) built-in memory and if you need more, you may always use the SD memory card slot. It ships with a 8GB memory card.

Currently, the Panasonic HDC-TM20K HD camcorder retails for just around $520 each.
Easily save essential scenes in 3D. When the 3D Conversion Lens is attached, the SDT750 artificially develops an effect called visual disparity. Right and left images are captured simultaneously by the two lenses, and recorded using the side-by-side method. To view* the recorded images, merely connect the SDT750 to a 3D compatible TV, such as a VIERA 3DTV with an HDMI mini cable. * A TV that is competent of 3D playback using the side-by-side method, 3D Eyewear, and HDMI cable connection are required for playing the 3D images you have recorded. You may adjust the level of low-frequency sound that is included in the audio track while shooting.

But the main reason to own this camera is that when you attach the front lens unit it engages the camera both structurally AND functionally. Functionally it shuts down EVERYTHING that isn’t straight forward 3D. So don’t worry about how to use facial recognition in 3D, you can’t. But that’s OK. Or is it? I happen to know a whole bunch about 3D and especially 3D video as I have been doing it for over 20 years. That’s right, and it matters. I’ll explain as I go. This camera is both a breath of fresh air and a cold shower. To do real 3D you need two cameras – each one assigned to one eye – a right and a left – properties of living human beings. The mechanism is thus subserviant to how human beings observe and react and perceive. So to understand the problems imagine your subject – a nice red car – parked dead center on a very large lazy susan that extends many yards beyond the subject. On the far side of the lazy susan we have a microphone stand. near us on the near side of the lazy susan is a vertical coat rack. Both of these non car objects are there just to enhance the 3D experience. What do we see? If we are looking at the car (the director’s intention), then if we are really there where the camera would be, we see the car. Duh. But we don’t really see the other two objects so well, they are blurry as they are out of OUR eyes focal lengths for looking at the car. Hollywood movie makers do this with normal movie making to bring the eye naturally to the point of the DIRECTOR’S interest. Key concept : SHARED INTEREST You must share the interest of the director. Out of focus works well. That’s how we see anyway. .. until we decide to check out the other stuff. While looking at the car – if we close one eye then swap to the other eye, the car does NOT move. Both images are nearly as one, just subtly altered by the angle, but not displacing as you blink R L R L… The two objects jump right and left or left and right, what’s far goes one way, what’s near goes the other. THINGS NOT IN SHARED INTEREST JUMP SIDEWAYS, one way for far the other way for near. It is as if you turn that lazy susan a bit one way then back the other way. What is at center does not move much but the far & near objects go in opposite directions as you oscillate the platform. Now, as seen in 3D video, if somebody does something really bizzarre with that far microphone and you want to check it out – in life your eyes NOW converge on that far location and the car becomes a jumpy object. But if the director’s interest remains on the car – then your desire to check out that far thing has your eyeballs going nuts. YOUR point of interest won’t stop jumping left and right as if you can’t converge. You are relying on the convergence of the video system which is not attuned to your new curiosity. Guess what? This camera does NOT converge. Cold shower time. But the breath of fresh air: to converge really I had to use two cameras that were mounted to control them to converge and which put out a dual video monitoring stream – one each with a video marker at dead center and mixed with a video mixer to overlay the two views and keep the two cursors superimposed on the intended object of interest. Both f-stops had to adjust depth of field in unison. Do you know how much junk you need to do that? How heavy all that stuff is? So they compromised – they even tell you this as a big HINT as to how to get nice 3D (withn this unit). Have your subject at 4 to 5 feet away. PERIOD. The camera has an amazingly sharp super depth of field which can make you really sick if you are shooting one thing and somebody far away is doing something distracting. There is no getting near and far out of focus. Everything is in focus. That can make you sick as your eye will wander through all the tid bits but only that fixed spot 4 feet away does not jiggle. The facial recognition, which COULD HAVE been used to focus and converge is not used at all. The lenses are what they are. One fixed point of interest. If you want to be interesting then you have to be at that point of convergence. So after the birthday party at the gymnasium with kids having a ball on parallel bars, jumping into the pit, skinning the cat, walking the bar .. all in 3D.. how did the begoggled grandparents react that night? WHOA! THAT’S GREAT! It was a hit. No doubt about it. Panasonic made compromises, but they enabled the process, with constraints, at a price real people can afford. I can’t imagine what the pro 3D camera will cost (which handles all the stuff above). Just don’t tell me. |
