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.


 


Shock-Proof for Falls from Up to 1.2 Meters*
The 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.

* MIL-STD-810F METHOD 516.5 SHOCK
   

Ideal for anytime use outdoors, in active situations, and for casual everyday video shooting.



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.

* IEC60529 / EN60529 IPX4 Splash Proof
   

It can be used at the poolside, around a ski lodge, and in other outdoor settings.



Easy Shooting 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 Colour 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.
