PANASONIC HDC SD40 EXTERNAL MICROPHONE MANUAL

Unlike higher cost models, which use an automatic lens cover, the HDC-TM40вЂ™s lens cover is opened and closed by means of a manual switch alongside the lens housing. Picture quality lacks the same crispness, with color reproduction capabilities taking a hit as well. While it does shoot full 1920Г—1080 HD the single CMOS 1.2 megapixel sensor just canвЂ™t deliver the same visual punch as its pricier 3MOS brethren. Obviously, at this price point, performance and/or feature reductions were necessary. DonвЂ™t expect prosumer level performance from this model however. Smooth, steady shots are possible by using proper hand held techniques.

Suitably small for stealthily obtaining those family-gathering YouTube moments, this camera can be a lot of fun. The ownerвЂ™s manual and a CD-ROM containing HD Writer LE 1.0 for importing files to your computer, uploading to YouTube and Facebook, and performing rudimentary editing tasks round out the box contents. Although the camcorder has an HDMI port, no such cable is included. An AC adaptor and power cord are also included as well as an AV multi cable and USB cable for making that all important computer connection. Included with the HDC-TM40 you will find a very tiny battery pack rated for about 135 minutes of record time (at maximum quality) when fully charged. While concessions have to be made at this price, it is quite capable as an entry level camera. Touted at the time of its release as the worldвЂ™s lightest full-HD AVCHD camcorder (approximately 213g with battery and optional media card), the ultra compact HDC-TM40 weighs in at a very affordable $400.

If two of the primary purchase requirements for your next camcorder happen to be price and compact size then youвЂ™ll want to have a close look at PanasonicвЂ™s new HDC-TM40 (magnifying glass not included).
