2.5 inch LCD Monitor

Panasonic is proud to introduce the NVGS27B - Mini DV Camcorder with the world's most powerful optical 30x zoom, 2.5 " LCD and 36mm Wide Angle.
For even higher picture quality, the NVGS27B has

30x Optical Zoom
30x zoom magnification in GS37 and GS27 fits comfortably and securely in one hand. This lens is not only the most powerful zoom offered in a home-use digital video camera, it also features low distortion. And because the zoom is optical, it captures both moving and still pictures with exquisite beauty.

Pure Colour Engine
The Pure Colour Engine LSI converts the CCD output signal from a complementary colour signal into RGB signal (containing the three primary colours in light) at an early stage and extracts the low-frequency luminance component from the RGB signal. The luminance signal is then generated in the same way as in TV broadcasting. Advanced 3D Frame Noise Reduction also gives you better results when shooting with low illumination because it improves colour noise-reduction performance by 30% compared with conventional systems. This innovative LSI achieves truly superb colour reproduction.

Panasonic has taken great care in listening to comments of users when designing the new range of camcorders, and has added a wide range of functions and improvements that provide outstanding ease of use:

One Touch Navigation & Joystick Control
All Panasonic video cameras are now equipped with Joystick control, which lets you operate all basic functions easily with one hand. Additionally, icons representing the functions that are used most during playback or shooting are displayed as icons on the LCD monitor. You can handle a number of operations quickly and easily, without even taking your eye off the subject.

Easy ON/OFF
This simple but useful function automatically switches the power on when the very first pre-shooting operations, such as opening the LCD or pulling EVF, are performed. Conversely, this function automatically switches the power off when operations for finishing shooting are performed, such as closing the LCD or storing EVF.
