The TM300 features three of Panasonic's new 1/4.1-inch full-HD sensors. The 3MOS system has the world's highest*1 total pixel count of 9,150,000 pixels*2 (3,050,000-pixel x 3). They record beautiful images even under dim lighting while maintaining high resolution. This advanced system uses the same approach as the 3-sensor systems that were first developed for use in professional broadcast equipment. Using separate MOS sensors to capture the red, green and blue light components without light loss, they capture rich, expressive videos with vivid colors and super-fine details that make your images come alive.
*1 For home-use camcorders, as of January 7, 2009.
*2 Effective motion image pixels: 6,210,000 (2,070,000 pixels x 3). |

Shoot in Lighting as Low as 1.6 lx
You can shoot clear shots in lighting as low as 1.6 lx. With the 3MOS Sensor, there is minimal loss of color information. This lets you shoot even in fairly dark places. Together with the high-performance HD Crystal Engine, the 3MOS System lets you capture clear, low-noise images even when the lights are low.

In still-image mode the HD camcorder can record stills with up to 10.6 megapixels (3984 x 2656)*1. When simultaneously shooting a motion image, it can record still images with up to 8.3 megapixels (3840 x 2160)*2. This high pixel count and Advanced O.I.S. mean that images look dense and beautiful. Also, when playing back the motion images you shot, you can capture 2.1-megapixel
(1920 x 1080) still images of any scene you want. Panasonic's HD camcorder lets you enjoy high quality in both motion and still images.
*1 For images recorded with a 3:2 aspect ratio.
*2 For images recorded with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

| Panasonic's Advanced O.I.S. helps suppress the effects of hand-shake as you shoot, for both motion and still images. This system uses gyrosensors to detect even tiny amounts of hand-shake, then shifts a lens and adjusts the optical axis to compensate - all at an astounding 4,000 times per second. It also covers approximately 3 times the stabilization area of our previous SD9 model. Because the system is optical, there's minimal loss of image quality even when viewed on a large-screen TV. In addition, to shoot high-resolution still images, the normal O.I.S. Mode 1 is joined by an O.I.S. Mode 2, which has a higher stabilization capability. With Mode2, the O.I.S. corrective lens shifts and stabilizes the image the instant that the shutter button is pressed, to enable greater precision in stabilization. You get all the beauty and minimal blurring. |

Mode 1 (Normal O.I.S.)
The O.I.S. corrective lens constantly shifts for continuous stabilization. |
 |
Mode 2 (Still-Image O.I.S.)
The O.I.S. corrective lens shifts and stabilizes the image the instant that the shutter button is pressed. |

The TM300 also introduces a new high-performance Leica lens in which both resolution and contrast have been improved by refinements to our low-dispersion lens and aspherical lens. A multi-coating process applied to all lens surfaces helps suppress ghosts and flaring, so you get sharp, crisp images even in strong outdoor lighting. The superb rendering ability of this advanced camcorder lens makes it ideal for capturing expressive full-HD images.

We took the advanced imaging circuitry used in Panasonic professional equipment and adapted it for home use. The result is the HD Crystal Engine, a high-speed processing unit that handles huge volumes of data and virtually doubles the dynamic range. This advanced imaging engine helps prevent blown highlights and blocked shadows, so the images you capture on video look just the way they do in real life. |

Selecting the Digital Cinema Color mode makes it possible to shoot film-like images that are ideally suited to the Digital Cinema Color of VIERA plasma TVs. Colors recorded in this mode look richer than those recorded using the conventional Panasonic standard. For example, the subtle shades of red and gold in flowers, and the greens of leafy trees are remarkably true to life.
* When using a TV that is compatible with "x.v.Color", images that are recorded in Digital Cinema Color mode will have a wider color range than conventional images. The color range varies depending on the TV. x.v.Color is a registered trademark. |

The TM300 is equipped with five electret condenser microphones. The center mic helps capture the sound source and distance accurately, so you get a more 3-dimensional effect than you get with conventional systems, which capture all sounds from the front. You get a realistic sound space that's a perfect match with the true-to-life HD images.

| In Zoom Mode the microphones are linked to the lens action. When you zoom in on a subject, the microphones focus on the sound in that same direction. |
|
In this mode the microphones focus on sounds coming from right in front of you, even when the lens is not zooming. |
Bass Control
You can adjust the level of low-frequency sound that is included in the audio track while shooting.

| Distant subjects can be enlarged so they appear to be right up close. This allows dynamic shots of both motion and still images |

Further Magnification with the Extra Optical Zoom
The Extra Optical Zoom gives you zoom power all the way to 20x*. This function provides additional magnification, extending the zoom power by using the center part of the sensors. When compared with conventional digital zoom functions that directly enlarge the image data, it provides better image quality.
* In 0.3-megapixel resolution mode. |

| When this function detects skin tones, it softens the focus in that area.
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 outside of the skin. |
|
|
 |
 |
Using the zoom at full magnification, you can shoot macro close-ups while maintaining a distance of 60 cm from your subject. This makes it much easier to capture extreme close-ups without your body or camera casting a shadow on the subject and while keeping the background in soft focus.
