Debuting along with the lineup of six snappers, the Panasonic HX-WA2 camcorder boasts of capturing high definition videos and pictures in different conditions. The water-proof camera can be employed to capture scenes up to a depth of 3 meters in the water.
The 14MP camera capable of clicking HD images can be employed to capture horizontal or vertical panoramic shots. Featuring 15x zoom, it comes with the Active Electric Image Stabilization (E. I. S.) for camera-shake correction to avoid shooting blurred images. The device is loaded with the HD Writer VE2.0 software, which allows easy editing of shot footage. Its Smart Wizard starts as soon as the camcorder is connected to a PC for quickly copying the videos to the system or burn a DVD.
