AVCHD is a new standard for recording HD signals onto memory cards, DVD discs, and hard disks. It uses the H.264 standard to achieve more than twice the compression of conventional MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 standards. AVCHD motion images recorded onto an SD Memory Card or a DVD disc cannot be played from a device that does not support the AVCHD standard. Do not insert a disc containing AVCHD-recorded images into a device that does not support the AVCHD standard. The disc cannot be played on such a device, and it may not be possible to remove the disc once inserted.

Get ready to shift from passive viewing to active shooting! Panasonic camcorders have come this far.
The trend toward 3D is one of the rapid developments shaping the future of AV equipment. Panasonic, which has continued to lead this development with its advanced technologies, has now unveiled another new epoch in the field of camcorders. Whereas, until now, you could only enjoy professionally recorded 3D titles, the SDT750 lets everybody shoot their own 3D images. It's like a dream come true! And you can be one of the first to step into this brand new world.
How do the human perceive 3-dimentional images? Because the left and right eyes are located at different positions on the face, the left and right eyes perceive slightly different images. The difference between the two images is called visual disparity. The brain processes these two images with visual disparity to reconstruct spatial conditions, enabling us to see things with three-dimensional depth. Images for right eye

Shooting

Images for the right and left eyes (each with 960 x 1080 pixels) are simultaneously recorded through two lenses, using a 3D conversion lens that artificially reproduces the phenomenon of visual disparity.

Playback

The TV alternately reproduces the left and right images, which are viewed through 3D Eyewear. To play back 3D videos, simply insert an SD Memory Card in the slot of a Panasonic VIERA 3DTV or use an HDMI mini cable to connect the camcorder to a VIERA 3DTV or a side-by-side method compatible 3D TV.*

Editing and archiving

The included HD Writer AE 2.6T editing software can be used to easily change sequences and delete unwanted scenes on a PC, in the same way as for 2D data. Also, 3D data can be easily saved onto SD Memory Cards, DVDs or Blu-ray Discs.
*When converting 3D data to MPEG-2 and saving it on a DVD, only the left-side 2D image is saved.

Advanced 3MOS System

To maximize the beauty of Full-HD 1920 x 1080, 50 progressive recording, Panasonic further refined its globally acclaimed 3MOS System. The Advanced 3MOS System combines the 3MOS Sensor, Leica Dicomar Lens, and Crystal Engine PRO, and incorporates noise reduction technologies that are a step above those of our conventional noise reduction systems. The 3MOS Sensor, with its three-sensor configuration, provides a resolution of 7.59 million effective motion image pixels (2.53 million x 3). The 3MOS Sensor splits the light information captured by the lens into the three primary colors - red, green and blue - and processes 3MOS Sensor each color with its Optical Axis own individual sensor. B MOS This reduces light R MOS loss compared to the 1MOS sensor, and Dichroic G MOS Mirrors renders colors, details and gradation all with intricate detail and natural beauty. The results are spectacular. Images shot in bright conditions are even more vibrant and detailed. And in dim lighting, you can capture clear, sharp images with minimal noise and vivid colors. See for yourself how Panasonic technology brings out the best in Full-HD image quality.

1080/50p Recording (Full-HD 1920 x 1080, 50 Progressive Recording)*
The SDT750 uses the progressive method to record twice as much image data as the interlace method. Whereas interlacing requires two images to produce a complete picture, the progressive method records a single image as a complete picture. Plus, the 50 Progressive Recording of the SDT750 produces 50 images per second. This extremely dense image information creates intricate detail and silky smooth motion. Even when subjects move quickly, afterimages are minimized to create more natural images.
*Not available when the 3D conversion lens is attached. **Progressive scanning refers to the 1080/50p (50 pictures per second) recording format.

Crystal Engine PRO

The new Crystal Engine PRO instantly processes the huge amount of data that goes into Full-HD images, and further enhances Full-HD quality. It produces smooth, high-resolution zoom shots even when the range exceeds the limit for optical zooming. Crystal Engine PRO clearly delineates even the tiniest details of your subject, with extremely natural beauty. New noise reduction (NR) technology minimizes noise when recording in low lighting conditions, while Intelligent Resolution Technology ensures sharp, bright, beautifully colored motion images.

Leica Dicomar Lens

The SDT750 uses Leica Dicomar lenses, which are renowned for their ability to render sharp images and excellent shading. They also suppress ghosting, flare, and distortion at the image edges. Even in strong sunlight, these superb lenses maintain high contrast and resolution. A bright new F1.5-F2.8 lens with a 46mm filter diameter has been created for the SDT750. Efficient light collection allows the new lens to capture bright, clear images even in dim lighting or at high shutter speeds. This high-end lens brings out all the beauty of Full-HD images.
