HC-W580 Cameras & Camcorders - Panasonic Canada

Features

90x Intelligent / 50x Optical Zoom

Equipped with Intelligent 90x zoom and Optical 50x zoom, this model lets you easily shoot distant subjects that are two far away to capture clearly with a conventional zoom.

28mm Wide-Angle*

The 28 mm Wide-Angle function (35 mm camera equivalent) makes it possible to fit more people and more of the background into the frame, which is especially handy when you want to take a group shot in a small room. It fits objects in, even when you shoot from up close, and makes it possible to pick up even small sounds with MIC.

Twin Camera Function

This model includes a rotatable sub camera that lets you take shots from two angles at once. For example, you can capture the family and a selfie, or both tele and wide-angle shots. A Backup function records a picture in picture image and a main camera image without a sub window for backup. The sub camera image is recorded into any one of various sub windows, and its display position can be changed by touch operation.

Wireless Multi Camera

Enjoy a new kind of shooting style that lets you add even more emotion to your movies. Using Wi-Fi, you can link to as many as three smartphones and simultaneously record up to two of them as sub-windows. These sub-window images can be interchanged, and their display positions can be switched. This lets you shoot from a variety of angles and viewpoints, to capture a higher level of emotional impact.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) Movie

Enjoy crisper, clearer videos thanks to the HDR Movie function. It combines two images taken with different exposures to suppress blown highlights and blocked shadows. Even in difficult shooting situations, such as backlighting, you can easily capture natural videos with excellent gradation. A dedicated HDR button enables quick mode changes when necessary.

Level Footage at All Times

So you can film carefree, the Level Shot function automatically detects and corrects the tilting of images. The setting can be adjusted to one of three levels – OFF, Normal or Strong – for the shooting condition.

Clear, Blurless Results

HYBRID O.I.S.+ uses five-axis correction to thoroughly suppress blurring caused by unwanted shake – whether you are shooting with a wide angle or at high zoom. This lets you capture crisp, clear images in virtually every shooting situation.
