The HDC-SD10 & HDC-TM10 - The World's Lightest Full-HD Camcorders*
Some memories are too precious to lose. That's why Panasonic's SD10 and TM10 are the world’s lightest full High Definition camcorders* – meaning you can always have one to hand.
The Power of Full-HD Camcorders Images recorded by conventional HD camcorders have only 1,440 horizontal pixels, while Full-HD camcorders have 1,920. In terms of total pixels, conventional HD camcorders record images with 1.55 million pixels, while those from our Full-HD camcorders have around 2.07 million pixels - about 30% more. The result is a level of detail and resolution that goes beyond anything you've experienced before. And because Full-HD recordings contain a vast amount of picture information, they look beautiful not only on high-definition TVs, but on standard-definition TVs as well.
The World’s Lightest Compact Camcorders Weighing less than 230g, the HDC-SD10 and HDC-TM10 are the world's lightest* full high definition camcorders – so offer fatigue-free use even for long shooting sessions. Their compact size lets them fit into the palm of the hand, for anywhere, anytime recording of high-quality, 1920 × 1080 full-HD images. These compact camcorders can be easily slipped into a handbag or a pocket, ready to capture video images with snapshot ease.

Intelligent Auto Mode – just aim and shoot! The iA function automatically activates convenient functions during shooting. These include the AF/AE Tracking, which keeps the subject in sharp focus and properly exposed even if it moves around to ensure continuously beautiful image quality. AF/AE Tracking allows the images with most suitable AF/AE (Auto Focus/Auto Exposure) settings by simply touching the selected subject on the screen. The iA function, including Face Detection, Advanced O.I.S., Intelligent Contrast Control and Intelligent Scene Selector, produces outstanding results under virtually all shooting conditions so just aim and shoot!
Featuring a high-powered 16x optical zoom, the SD10 and TM10 clearly capture distant subjects, while the Advanced O.I.S. minimises blurring. This stabilisation function is essential for preserving full-HD image quality when zooming, where hand-shake increases proportionally to the level of magnification. Advanced O.I.S., which detects and corrects for hand-shake around 4,000 times per second, combines with the 16x optical zoom to produce clear, stable zoom shots. The new Active Mode also extends the hand-shake correction range, reducing the kind of hand-shake that often occurs when shooting while walking, to ensure crisp, clear images.
SD Networking with VIERA and Blu-ray Player Both models are compatible with the VIERA Image Viewer function. This lets the user play videos on a large screen by simply inserting a recorded SDHC/SD Memory Card into the SD card slot of a Panasonic VIERA** TV. It provides instant playback of video clips recorded in the AVCHD format in full-HD quality. Similarly, video recordings can be easily played by using a Panasonic Blu-ray player.
**Plasma Z1 / V10 / G15 / G10 / S10 series and LCD V10 / G15 / G10 / S10 / X15 series (JPEG format still images can be viewed with other SD card slot-equipped models).
Pre-Rec function – how did we manage without? With many camcorders it is easy to miss capturing a critical moment. When the Pre-Rec function is on, the camcorder cleverly records 3 seconds of images into an internal buffer memory. Then, when the Record button is actually pressed, the 3 seconds immediately prior are added at the beginning of the clip being recorded.
Designed for you Both models feature a touch-screen that allows icons displayed on the LCD to be easily operated by touching them with a fingertip. The touch-screen lets users operate a variety of functions intuitively without taking their eyes off of the subject on the LCD.
So when one of life’s unforgettable moments takes place, you’ll be able to capture it there and then, in stunning Full-HD.
Intelligent Auto Mode automatically chooses the right shooting setting. And with touch screen AF Tracking, you can choose the person you want to remain in focus – however much they wobble.
Don’t let the size fool you – the SD10 and TM10 are packed full of technology; including an impressive 16x Optical Zoom, Touch Screen Control, Intelligent Auto Mode with AF tracking and Advanced O.I.S (Optical Image Stabiliser). Because capturing every moment in HD matters. EVERYTHING MATTERS.
