Sanyo Gulf has unveiled its next-generation full HD digital movie camera - the ‘Xacti VPC-HD 1010’ incorporating a range of advanced features for superior video and still recording.

The compact, lightweight camera offers brushed-up image processing for enhanced image quality, and records to memory in Full HD (1920 x 1080).

The camera’s signal processing is optimised for gamma correction and noise reduction, improving lens color-sensitivity and image quality when filming in darker conditions.

“The Xacti VPC -HD 1010 combines an ergonomic design with a bevy of advanced features and improved functions to provide superior image quality,” said Takashi Hirao, chief regional officer of Sanyo Middle East, India and Africa.

The VPC-HD 1010 features a new ‘slow-motion’ video function, and allows easy saving and playback of filmed data with the improved ‘Xacti Library’ date-sorting calendar function.

The camcorder also features the “Face Chaser” face detection technology which allows the recognition of up to 12 faces in both video and picture shots.

Moreover, it allows stills to be taken even while recording a video without stopping or interruption.

Other features of the new Xacti VPC -HD 1010 include ‘digital image stabilizer’, which senses camera revolution and photographic subject movement, ‘contrast correct’ function which allows sharper images that can be edited after they are taken, ‘in-camera video editing’ function, and ‘pixel-interpolation technology’ that allows still-photo re-sizing up to 8.0 megapixels.-TradeArabia News Service
